Not a sign of my body letting this pregnancy go yet. It's been two weeks. I have my moments where I feel all is going to be okay, then I swing to "the ultrasound must have been wrong and the baby is okay." then to "I'm losing my mind..."

I have a call in to my midwife. I don't have a doctor and I don't know that I would even consider an d&c anyway. Maybe some herbal things? I just don't know...

It also doesn't help that we've been hit with a bombshell from one of our older kids and dh got some odd news about his job. My ability to cope is next to zero, but I've been asked to cope with some heavy duty things right now.

The Lord is asking you to carry some heavy burdens right now, but know that He is right there with you and we are holding you up in prayer. Don't forget to offer your worries up and be at peace.

For both of my later miscarriages (12 and 16 weeks), it took about a month for the baby to "let go." The first one (where the baby was 16 weeks), I did have a D&C. It felt wrong, but I didn't know what else to do. The baby held on after it stopped growing for 5+ weeks! I wish I could tell you that the ultrasound was wrong, but usually they're not. Praying for things to iron out for you, Lisa.

Lisa--I have had some moments of wondering how much more I could cope with in the last few days. Sometimes it seems so much is asked of us. Know that He is holding you in the palm of His hand. We will be praying for you.
