There is no heartbeat

mekyriaWe arrived early at the obgyn's office for our ten week chek up. The same blond haired woman welcomed us in as the last time and I took my place on the bench. She squirted some gel on my belly and started the ultrasound. That was when we noticed that there was no heartbeat. The embryo itself looked perfect, developed into 9 weeks and 3 days. But there was no heartbeat and counting back, the heart must have stopped about eight days ago.
E. And I are both devestated and we took a couple of days off so we can be together and mourn. Also, somewhere in the next two weeks my body will expell the embryo and the uterus lining. It will be something inbetween menstruating and giving birth, meaning lots of bloodloss and cramps. I am going to the pharmacy today to prepare myself with special pads and such. My mother told me I really need those: she had a miscarriage in her thirteenth week, roughly 40 years ago.
So sad.
