update
Today at 12:45 I had the D&C to complete everything. FOr some reason my body just wasn't ready to let go and after all of the horrible meds I took, the side effects were tormenting me. There was no other choice but surgery according to my OB due to the risk of infection and the emotional pain of knowing that you are "pregnant" but your baby doesn't have a heartbeat...
The surgery went well and I'm actually feeling much better now than I was on the meds. I slept most off and on today and Ryan and Bella took good care of me. I'm lucky in that anesthesia is quickly metabolized and only a minimal amt goes through the breastmilk so the anesthesiologist gave me the ok to continue breastfeeding without pumping and dumping anything. Weird as it may sound, breastfeeding makes me feel good. It's helping me feel better about the whole thing, knowing that I'm still doing something to contribute to the growth of my daughter, it makes me feel good as a mom and whole as a person.
Surgery was not the ideal option in the beginning but it is what my body needed and I listened to that. My body could not deal with the medication that I was given and my body wasn't ready to move forward. Surgery allowed me to take the first step in moving forward and healing my body and my mind. It wasn't a decision that I ever wanted to make but it's the decision that life handed me. I'm pretty good at dealing with the cards that life deals me, this is one of the hardest cards I've had to deal with. Time heals everything, some times a little time and sometimes more. Today is the first step in moving forward towards a brighter future for myself and my family.
looking back, would I have told the people that I did that I was pregnant? Yes, it allows me to be surrounded in the arms of those that love me unconditionally and that is what life is all about... cherish it, each day, each moment! Thanks for letting me vent here! I appreciate you ladies!
