Hello everybody
I'm 15 weeks pregnant and I still carry my little angel. I went to the hospital a couple of days ago for light bleeding, it was the 4th time, and I was sure everything was good. When, after 4 hours 'cause it wasn't an emergency, they visited me, with the scan machine they couldn't see my baby's heart beating and the scan showed a lump on her head. I've never been so sad in all my life, sad and lost, I think you can understand how I'm feeling. Monday I'll say goodbye to her (well, I really don't know if my angel is a boy or a girl but I love to call her Emily) and I asked the doctors to check if it's possible to know the cause of the death for a future baby. I'm so scared for Monday, fortunately they will make me sleep but I'm really scared, it has never happened in my life, and my sadness is terrible, I'd love just to sleep and sleep and sleep. Time will help and I'm glad it's happened now, after only 15 weeks, she wasn't good. But I can't enjoy anything, I don't want to do anything, just lie down in my bed for hours.
It doesn't change anything, but I'd like to know if mine can be called "stillbirth" because the fetus has died in the uterus and only at the hospital I will have a supervised miscarriage (I've already taken 3 tablets of mifepistone) or "miscarriage" because I'm just 15 weeks pregnant.
Thank you very much
Kisses

It's miscarriage because just 15 weeks, but for me, in my mind, in my heart, it wasn't. My Dylan died inside me and I'm his mummy. I will go to visit him at the cimitery, the hospital have done everything. I miss him so much, and I will be so scared to try again but I want, yes, I want but time by time. Now I want to be spoil, take rest, eat well and wait the the blood results. Kisses
