Pregnant no more

2 days ago i had a miscarriage. turns out i had a blighted ovum. the fertilized egg failed to develop into an embryo so my body naturally expelled it.

i had spotting monday night, and by tuesday night i was bleeding so much and having cramps that i knew something was wrong. my husband aldrich immediately broght me to the hospital wednesday morning, where it was confirmed that i miscarried. my ob immediately did a d&c on me and cleaned out my uterus.

at first i was really sad and disappointed, but when i found out that there was no fetus, therefore no baby, it was easier to accept. i just think of it as a practice session, that God was just checking if my system works, and it does! :) next time it won't be a draft anymore.

i know that in His time, the Lord will allow me to get pregnant again. a lot of my friends say it will be easier for me to get pregnant next time because my uterus has been cleaned and the environment is more conducive to conceiving a baby.

right now, i'm just enjoying the fact that with the bed rest required by my doctor, mom and mom-in-law, my hubby has to take care of me. it's nice to be babied once in a while. :)

hi, richelle! i hope you still remember me, isao from 2001 senatorial elections. i saw your blog in tina's page.

hey, i'm sorry to hear (or read?) this. my friend's baby died before her second month. nakakaiyak talaga yun. i'm sure you'll have another one soon. at sana marami pa in the immediate future!
