in the medical community), so I was a bit more cautious this time around. \u00a0When over 35, your pregnancy is immediately classified as high-risk. \u00a0It&#8217;s been 11 years since my last pregnancy so it was time to read up on pregnancy for the over 35 crowd. \u00a0I reached out to friends for medical referrals and started making appointments. \u00a0I also learned about new screening tests available and planned to schedule any recommended ones.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2328\" src=\"https:\/\/workparentsleep.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/pregnancy-test-positive2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"740\" height=\"385\" srcset=\"https:\/\/workparentsleep.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/pregnancy-test-positive2.jpg 740w, https:\/\/workparentsleep.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/pregnancy-test-positive2-300x156.jpg 300w, https:\/\/workparentsleep.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/pregnancy-test-positive2-585x304.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/p>\n<h1>Prenatal Care<\/h1>\n<p>We had our first doctor&#8217;s appointment about a week after our positive pregnancy test. \u00a0At the office, we had a brief conversation with the doctor, started prenatal bloodwork tests, and scheduled an ultrasound. \u00a0The next week we were able to see our little one via ultrasound and hear its little heartbeat. \u00a0We were about 7 weeks along and relieved to hear that things looked good&#8211;a little of my worry faded that day.<\/p>\n<p>Fast-forward another week, and, for reasons both logistical and personal, we decided to try a new medical practice to continue prenatal care. \u00a0Our new doctor requested an additional ultrasound to\u00a0confirm our pregnancy and due date (they hadn&#8217;t received the paperwork from the other doctor&#8217;s office). \u00a0We again got to see who we now lovingly referred to as our lentil (we&#8217;d started tracking our pregnancy progress on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.babycenter.com\/mobile-apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Baby Center app<\/a> and found that our baby was the size of a lentil during week 6&#8211;the name stuck and bags of lentils magically appeared in the house as loving reminders of our future). \u00a0Lentil looked happy and healthy with a strong heartbeat and we even saw a few kicks of a leg.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2326\" src=\"https:\/\/workparentsleep.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/prenatal-ultrasound.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"629\" height=\"299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/workparentsleep.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/prenatal-ultrasound.jpg 629w, https:\/\/workparentsleep.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/prenatal-ultrasound-300x143.jpg 300w, https:\/\/workparentsleep.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/prenatal-ultrasound-585x278.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 629px) 100vw, 629px\" \/><\/p>\n<h1>Stats on Miscarriage<\/h1>\n<p>Again, being over 35, I was still cautious, but turning the corner to optimism, as I was getting further along and got to see lentil not once, but twice. \u00a0I still read up on statistics, trying to keep myself grounded and realistic. \u00a0A few things I found online:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Miscarriage is defined as a pregnancy that ends in the first 20 weeks on its own<\/li>\n<li>Around 1 in every 5 pregnancies will end in a miscarriage<\/li>\n<li>Typically, miscarriages occur within the first 13 weeks. \u00a0This is why many people choose to wait to announce a pregnancy until after 13 weeks<\/li>\n<li>Miscarriages during the first trimester are most commonly due to chromosomal abnormalities, though there are other causes<\/li>\n<li>Women under 35 have a 15% chance of miscarriage; those 35-45 have a 20-25% chance; those over 45 can have up to a 50% chance of miscarriage<\/li>\n<li>Around 25% of women who try to conceive will have a miscarriage at some point. \u00a0This means about 1 in every 4 women you know have experienced what is often silent, secret grief<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>References <a href=\"http:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/pregnancy-complications\/miscarriage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verywell.com\/making-sense-of-miscarriage-statistics-2371721\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>,\u00a0and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/blog\/miscarriage-keep-breaking-the-silence-201511108601\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: left;\">The NT Ultrasound<\/h1>\n<p>With everything looking good, our next step was to schedule a Nuchal Translucency Screening or NT Ultrasound (you can learn more <a href=\"http:\/\/www.whattoexpect.com\/pregnancy\/pregnancy-health\/prenatal-testing-nuchal-translucency-screening\/\">here<\/a>). \u00a0This particular screening is a specialized ultrasound given between weeks 11 and 13 in pregnancy. \u00a0It measures the fluid at the base of the neck to determine whether there&#8217;s an increased likelihood the baby has a chromosomal problem. \u00a0We were referred to and scheduled our NT ultrasound with a high-risk pregnancy center in town.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2324 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/workparentsleep.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/prenatal-care-ultrasound-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/workparentsleep.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/prenatal-care-ultrasound-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/workparentsleep.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/prenatal-care-ultrasound-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/workparentsleep.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/prenatal-care-ultrasound.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We arrived at the appointment and met with a genetic counselor to discuss office policies and procedures. \u00a0We also discussed\u00a0other available screenings, including non-invasive blood tests that provide odds for genetic disorders and can determine baby gender. \u00a0After our meeting, we went to the ultrasound room and waited for the sonographer.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h1>No Heartbeat<\/h1>\n<p>Excited for our third chance to see lentil, we waited for the sonographer to pop the picture on the screen. \u00a0Her first question was how far along I was, to which I replied: &#8220;A little over 12 weeks.&#8221; \u00a0Her response back was, &#8220;Hmm, I&#8217;m measuring a little over 10 weeks.&#8221; \u00a0I thought to myself, did we get our due date wrong? \u00a0Then the slow realization that something was wrong started to sink in. \u00a0She asked, &#8220;Have you seen the heartbeat before? \u00a0I can&#8217;t find one.&#8221; \u00a0Our world turned upside down. \u00a0Our lentil hadn&#8217;t made it; lentil had passed away 2 weeks ago and we hadn&#8217;t a clue. \u00a0 The doctor came in after the sonographer and confirmed the bad news, went over some paperwork, and recommended next steps. \u00a0We left the appointment devastated.<\/p>\n<h1>Silent Miscarriage<\/h1>\n<p>A silent or missed miscarriage is defined as a miscarriage in which there aren&#8217;t any typical symptoms like cramping or bleeding. \u00a0I thought back but hadn&#8217;t noticed anything out of the ordinary and still felt pregnant. \u00a0It was hard to imagine I&#8217;d silently miscarried. \u00a0Nothing felt different, but everything had changed.<\/p>\n<p>Later in the day, I was contacted by my doctor&#8217;s office to pursue follow-up treatment. \u00a0I was given three options:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Wait to see if my body would miscarry naturally<\/strong>. \u00a0I didn&#8217;t like this idea because it had already been 2 weeks and I didn&#8217;t see any signs of things changing. \u00a0That, and it was difficult to bear the idea of carrying around little lentil for a lengthy period of time\u00a0without having a definitive end date and some closure to the pregnancy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Take medicine (Misoprostol) to hasten the miscarriage.<\/strong> \u00a0I was told this didn&#8217;t always work the first dose, and I might have to have more doses to complete the miscarriage. \u00a0Again, it was hard to have no end date and I didn&#8217;t like the idea of taking medicine\u00a0that wasn&#8217;t guaranteed to work and could have side effects (information on side effects <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webmd.com\/baby\/medication-for-treating-an-incomplete-miscarriage\">here<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Undergo a D&amp;C (Dilation and Curettage).<\/strong>\u00a0 Recommended by the doctor at the high-risk center, this option offered us an end date in a hospital setting with medical professionals. \u00a0It also afforded me the opportunity to avoid seeing the miscarriage. \u00a0For us, this seemed like the best option.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>I let the office know I wanted to have a D&amp;C and scheduled a pre-op appointment the next morning. \u00a0During the pre-op appointment, we met with the doctor performing the surgery and were given information on the procedure. \u00a0 We were also handed paperwork and directed to go to the hospital admittance department\u00a0to prep for surgery the following day. \u00a0I also received a prescription for ibuprofen and a mild narcotic to assist with any discomfort after surgery.<\/p>\n<h1>Undergoing a D&amp;C<\/h1>\n<p>A D&amp;C is a surgical procedure where the cervix is dilated and the contents of the uterus are removed (either by scraping the uterine wall or by suction). \u00a0The procedure typically lasts about 15-20 minutes and is done under some type of sedative.<\/p>\n<p>In preparation for my D&amp;C, I was directed to avoid any food or drink after midnight and told to be at the hospital at 9:30 a.m. for admittance. \u00a0Shortly thereafter, I was taken into same-day surgery, got into a hospital gown, and given an IV. \u00a0On the bright side, the hospital had a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/solutions.3m.com\/wps\/portal\/3M\/en_EU\/Healthcare-Europe\/EU-Home\/Products\/InfectionPrevention\/Patient_Warming\/Bair_Paws\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bair Paws hospital gown<\/a> with a warming unit to keep me warm and cozy&#8211;loved it! \u00a0I was also given leg compressors to massage my legs and prevent blood clots. \u00a0The wait was long, but Drew was there to keep me entertained and he even put on Netflix for a while.<\/p>\n<p>When the time came for surgery, I was wheeled into the operating room and given general anesthesia via inhalation. \u00a0Drew had the opportunity to grab some lunch and was told how to monitor my progress on the hospital screens. \u00a0He&#8217;d be called when I was out of surgery and ready for a visitor.<\/p>\n<h1>Waking up &amp; Recovery<\/h1>\n<p>I woke up in the recovery room about an hour and a half after I was given anesthesia. \u00a0There were clocks on the wall directly in front of me both in the operating and recovery room so I was able to keep track of time. \u00a0 I was told the procedure went well but was an emotional wreck once I was awake and immediately started crying for 30 minutes. \u00a0It felt like the final loss and was hard saying goodbye. \u00a0Thankfully, Drew was able to come back and sit with me not too long after I awoke. \u00a0Once we got the green light to leave, I was taken in a wheelchair to the entrance and Drew pulled up to the curb to get me inside. \u00a0I spent the day resting and cuddling with Drew, taking a bit of medicine when I didn&#8217;t feel too good. \u00a0I was given directions to take it easy and not drive for 24 hours, then to resume normal activity slowly, and to call my doctor if any problems arise.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s been bleeding, but nothing that seems out of the ordinary. \u00a0I&#8217;m almost 24 hours through recovery and hanging in there.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2331\" src=\"https:\/\/workparentsleep.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/love-recovery2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/workparentsleep.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/love-recovery2.jpg 700w, https:\/\/workparentsleep.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/love-recovery2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/workparentsleep.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/love-recovery2-585x439.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Silent Grief?<\/h2>\n<p>I&#8217;ve had some candid conversations with friends and family about miscarriage, but I find it&#8217;s\u00a0not something often talked about. \u00a0As we&#8217;ve shared the news with those that knew about our pregnancy, I&#8217;ve been reminded that many people I know have suffered similar losses. \u00a0I debated on whether or not to share our story&#8211;to keep our grief mostly silent too. \u00a0But, somehow it didn&#8217;t feel authentic or like the appropriate way to honor lentil. \u00a0So, this was our story. \u00a0And thank you to all that have shared their stories with me and for the compassion and kindness shown in sharing our burden. \u00a0We love you.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;re Pregnant!
