From the medical point of view

JULY 24 2009

This day was the day i went to the doctors and found out for sure that I was defiantly pregnant...

3 weeks prior is when i started to feel signs of something happening to my body.....
1st week i felt i was going to get my period with the slight pressure in my pelvis area
2nd week lower back pain started to kick in
3rd week still haven't had my period so i took a home pregnancy test. To me it showed positive.....it had the two lines but the second was very faint.... we were not convinced so i decided to go see the doctor.

I had taken a urine test...the doctor said that i was due March 10 2010

My first appointment with my mid wife.....

Prior to finding a midwife i had done allot of research.....
Research about Doctors, Midwives and VBAC (Vaginal birth after a csection)
I found that having a vaginal birth after 4 csection is possible and most likely a success but doctors today are not as willing to do VBAC's after 2 csections....

there is a website to help you further your research with VBAC's at

After realizing that this was not a path for me which i kind of suspected i decided that why not try a midwife.
My midwife works in an office with other midwives, nurses and doctors which they work under. If i were to have had a csection the doctor would have done it and she would also be there to support....

The appointment went well and we figured that i would be due around March 14-16 2010.....and that i was about 9-10 weeks.....my next appointment would be 4 weeks from then.....


August 19 2009

I woke to a little bleeding, the blood was dark something like towards the end of a period......I called the nurse and she just suggested to stay off my feet and relax....well i have 4 kids and a working husband, that wasn't really possible....later on in the day my bleeding increased and the color was lighter.... I had no pain whats so ever....the nurse wanted me to come in but by then the day was late. It was fine to wait til the next day.

That day the bleeding had decreased but i still went for my appointment. I went in and they first checked to see if my cervix was closed and it was....then they checked for a heart beat but could only hear mine...then used an ultra sound to see if anything could be seen but she was only a midwife so they wanted me to be seen by a technician.... 20 mins later i was at another building having an ultra sound done....
while driving home to go get my kids that's when i got the phone call....They had found a sac but no heart beat.....from that point on I would experience one of the hardest things in my life....depregnatizing my body....

From Wednesday august 19 2009 to Tuesday August 25 2009 (about 6 days )was how long it took to really kick in.....that is when the first blood clots started to come out and the labor pain started.....The D and C process (Dilation (dilatation) and curettage ) is normally the process they would take if a miscarriage happens however because of my previous csections they felt that the natural way to miscarry would be the best......



Monday evening August 24 2009

6:45 pm The first blood clots came out the bleeding got a little heavier and pressure was getting stronger

8:45 pm Having spontaneous rushes of blood flow...was concerned but the nurse said that when to be concerned is when the pad is soaked from front to back within an hour.....Start to feel labor pain in back and pelvis and becoming lightheaded

9pm changed and lied down....feeling a little more pain....

11pm went for a drive while driving noticed that i wasn't bleeding as much and was in no pain....

11:40pm home and blood decreased and pain not too bad....

Tuesday August 25 2009

7am woke up feeling ok there is small cramping off and on feeling light headed......

2:15pm contractions getting stronger scale of 1-10 a 4, more blood clots and heavier bleeding

2:30pm pain a 7

4:30pm after taking the kids to a friends house i decided to take a warm bath to deal with the pain

5:30pm rested in the bath tub for an hr....started to feel much better...there was no more cramping...decided to stand up and finish my shower....as I stood the sac fell right out of me...

after that.... compared to the pain i had gone through earlier..... i now felt so much better...however i was still tired and my body felt exhausted....still had a little cramping but now just felt like i had my period....since this was like going through labor the after math of labor will follow.....continual cramping and bleeding probably for atleast a week....

I know this post is a little long but i did it for educational purposes.....as i was going through the miscarriage i was doing allot of research and was unable to find out allot of details....i hope this helps you with your research or if your just reading i hope you were satisfied.....

if you have any questions pleas feel free to comment...
