D and C

I arrived at the hospital early and did not have to wait long. I was taken in, gowned, given my paper undies, and drugged up to the eyeballs. It was 3 1/2 hours from the time I walked out my front door to the time I walked back through it.
I was sore (crampy) and generally pi55ed off. DP took me away for the weekend so there was nothing for me to do but rest, and boy did I do that. My body would be great for a couple of hours and then bang, exhausted. But I am lucky that my bleeding immediately turned into spotting, and that is something I am thankful for.
We went shopping over the weekend and I bought something small to remember my angel by, it is always with me, but not big enough to draw attention from others.

Its all over

After the not finding out my results like I was supposed too, I went back to bed.
After all of about 12 minutes sleep it was 8 am and I could ring the hospital again. They cr@pped on about this and that until I bluntly said what part do you not understand, I just want my HCG results that were promised to me 12 hours ago. So I finally got them. 6500, I knew it was all over, I was 10 weeks and 5 days, there should have been more 00's on the end of that number.
Next task was to book in for U/S confirmation. thankfully they told me to come up straight away and that, although I may have a bit of a wait, they would fit me in as soon as possible. I waited 5 minutes. The sonographer recognised me. He was the man who showed me my baby's heartbeat at 5 weeks and 5 days, and it was now his job to tell me how long ago my baby had died.
8 weeks and 5 days. My body had held onto our angel for 2 weeks. Our little angels heart had only beaten for 3 weeks. I wasn't sad, I was so extremely thankful to have such a wonderful sonographer who did is job professionally as well as having some compassion, a lot more than I can say about the hospital staff.
I phoned the Pregnancy Clinic and advised them that it was all over, I would have been booked in immediately for a d&c but I had drunk too much water for the U/S. I was to be scheduled for the next day.
