The pregnancy's over

We just came back from our first midwife appointment and after two ultrasounds and even a transvaginal one, we determined that the fetus is not alive. It's at about 6 weeks growth when I'm at about 11 weeks of pregnancy. The placenta kept growing and is at 9 weeks but has probably stopped. I think I'm taking it pretty well, and would like to thank my sisters for their good example in handling this sort of sadness. I guess you can remove the widget, Ranell!

Widget has been removed. Sorry to hear the sad news. My experience with miscarriage still makes me sad on certain days, but now that it's so far in the past, I can see things worked out just fine. But that's not much comfort when you're in the middle of it. Take care of yourself, I wish I could be closer so I could help in some way.

Sweet Regan--I STILL remember the empty sadness I felt after my miscarriage--and that's been almost 40 years ago. You're doing great--and I'm so glad you have such an awesome, supportive husband and family. I love you!! MOM
