  1. just eat healthy foods and you will recover fast. my OB advised lots of fruits, fish and veggies.
  2. after reading all these messages, all i want to do is cry. this is one thing that i have not done since i heard the bad news. i have also undergone D&C 2 days ago and here's what happened: may 16 - i was supposed to have my period but did not come. may 17 - i checked if i'm pregnant and it's positive! may 22 - my first checkup. OB confirmed my pregnancy and im 4 wks, 6 days pregnant. she advised me to come back the following wdnesday to check if the baby has heartbeat. that would be exactly my 6th week pregnancy. may 30 - OB confirmed my baby's heartbeat although it's still weak. baby's heartbeat should be twice the mom's but my baby has 93bps only. OB advised to have 2 weeks rest so as not to stress myself from work and see if baby's heartbeat will strengthen after. despite that, the baby's position is good and the yolk sac is present. the thing is, i have a scheduled flight to bintulu on the following day and asked my OB if i can go. she said NO. i have to rest to strengthen baby. i told my hubby about it and he was devastated as we have not seen each other for 2 months already. as stubborn as i am, and as mutually agreed with my hubby, i proceeded with the trip hoping that it will be okay since i have brought all my prescription meds- Duphaston, Folic Acid, Vitamin B-Complex, Iron Supplement and Aspirin. during my 3 weeks' stay with my hubby, i have only felt pain on my lower back/hips once after a tiring day. yes, i still do household chores as i was bored on just lying around all day watching tv. :( i guess i was on or a round on my 8th week then. as soon as i come back from my trip, we have agreed that i will go to my OB for a checkup. but i arrived early in the morning and her clinic is late in the afternoon. i was already tired from the trip so i decided to come the following day instead. the following day is a holiday hence, the doctor has no clinic. we were already on our way then so we decided to buy some clothes instead since we were already near the mall. wednesday this week, my 9th week, i had my checkup. OB decided to perform ultrasound again to check the status of the baby. she did not speak for a couple of minutes and her facial expression is not good. she kept on requesting for a colleague and then one came to assist her. she also confirmed that there's no heartbeat. im holding my phone then and texted my hubby about it and he keep on asking to try again, check again. maybe she must be mistaken. the baby really has no heartbeat. i need to keep my tears from flowing as im sure i will not absorb anything that the doctor will say if i cried. the yolk sac is still present, the position is still good but no heartbeat. as per PVS, the baby died on my 8th week of pregnancy. on my 8th week! that's when i feel pain and numbness on my lower back! i thought i was just tired then but if i only knew i should have gone to the doctor right then and there and had my baby checked! on the same day of my checkup, my doctor did not let me leave the hospital and admitted me for confinement. they had to remove the fetus as soon as possible to avoid any infection since it has been dead for a week already. they have inserted several meds every 6 hours to make me bleed more and let my cervic open before they perform D&C but it did not happen. at 4am, im less than 1cm open but they confirmed that my cervix is softer after the meds so they decided to schedule the D&C at 9am. procedure was done smoothly and i have not felt any pain except after i have gone home. maybe because of the travel time, but overall, i feel ok. as of now, i still have not cried away the pain of losing my baby. they may not tell me straight, but i know it's my fault why she died. i have not listened to my OB when she told me to REST and NO TRAVEL. so next time, i will do everything that my doctor say just to have a safe and healthy pregnancy. we decided to try again this october and hopefully, i will get pregnant again soon. :)
