I didn't have to endure public humiliation or ridicule.
So we knew what was coming. No heartbeat :(
I'm so sorry. A miscarriage is devastating.
I grabbed LW (who was 3 at the time) and managed to drive myself (I was woozy from all the blood loss) to the specialized prenatal ER that UC Davis had set up. M met us there. I was held for observation for 3 hours and then went home.
I opted to go home to be with my one-year old. Mistake on my part. The male dr. shrugged when he asked if I wanted a D&C or to go home and let nature take its course. The nurse in the room shook her head no when I opted for the latter.
I would be arrested in OH. Incredible.
Terrifying to think about.
