...an abnormal pregnancy," Dr. Masel said sadly. Blighted ovum. I knew it before she said it. That's the problem with being an over-researcher. Knowing way too much.
I was pregnant for 9 weeks and 4 days, though, technically, our baby stopped growing at 5 weeks. We went to the doctor for the very first appointment on Thursday. I was determined to hear the heartbeat or something, so I got Joel to come along as well. I'm so thankful that he was there. Thursday ended up being a very long day (in the hospital from 10:45-3... at least) with plenty of tests and too many tears.
I am now a mother, but I do not have a child in my arms.
I never really understood how that changes a person until now.
