If at first you don't succeed, cry, try again.

Just a quick update - more later.

Sad news; at my 9 week ultrasound on Friday morning we saw that the baby had stopped growing and had no heartbeat. Since I am having a miscarriage, I will need to go in for a D&C on Thursday (operation under general anesthesia). It was probably a chromosomal abnormality, we will have some tests done and will know more when the results come back.

This happens to a lot of women... It’s why they often don’t announce they are pregnant until after 12 weeks... But I would prefer to share the information than have to go through it alone like so many women do.

I'm sad but I will be ok, I was relatively prepared for the fact that this might happen, and I will be able to try again in a couple of months or so.

Meanwhile my partner is being loving and supportive as always, I am very lucky.

Thanks for your support!
