Bad news..
We went for our first trimester screening yesterday only to find out there was a 6-7 week gestational sac.. and no baby. I had a "blighted ovum" or "anembryonic pregnancy." Mike took me to the hospital this morning for a DE&C surgery where they removed the pregnancy tissue in my uterus since it was unlikely my body was going to miscarry on it's own.
Our hearts are broken and emotionally, I'm a mess. I thought everything was fine since we were nearing the end of the first trimester (supposedly). It's a huge shock and I'm just.. numb.
We got to the hospital at 7:30am and this is the first time I've been okay enough to get out of bed. Mike is currently at the grocery store filling my pain medication Rx. I'm so grateful for him. The outpouring of support from the people who knew has been amazing, though I'm a private person and don't really know what to say to them at this point. I'm just trying to politely tell people that I need space and time before I'm going to be okay to talk about it in person. Right now I can't do that without sobbing.
I just wanted to update you all.. I wouldn't wish this upon anyone.
Re: Bad news..
I am so sorry to hear! I can't even imagine how you must be feeling, but you should definitely take sometime for yourself. Your husband sounds like a complete sweetheart and I am sure your friends and family will completely understand if you don't really want to speak to anyone right now.
Sending you some hugs!
I am so sorry that you are having to go through this - it sounds like you have an amazing husband. I am sure your family and friends will understand how difficult this is for you and will give you the appropriate space. In the meantime, allow your husband to take care of you as it sounds like he is, and get some rest. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your DH!!

Thanks everyone.. this weekend has been absolute hell. I'm just having a hard time dealing with the emotional side of things. Recovery from surgery hasn't been too bad - the cramping is emotionally more draining than it is physically painful. I appreciate your kind words.
