This last month has been a very trying one. Stephen and I found out that we were expecting about a month ago. We were very excited that Chloe was going to be a big sister. From the very beginning I have not had a good feeling about this pregnancy. It all started when I began to bleed. I went immediately to the doctor and he ran blood work. We had to wait for two days and then repeat the same test. The test came back normal... My pregnancy hormones had doubled and that was a good sign. Since that time, we have had three ultrasounds, none of which have found a fetal pole or heartbeat. We were first told that this was a blighted ovum, which meant that the gestational sac was forming with no baby and that I would soon miscarry. Stephen and I decided that letting nature take its course would be best for us and that I would miscarry on my own. The worse thing is that I still have all of my pregnancy symptoms. In fact, on Monday, it got so bad that I went back to the doctor and told him I felt like something was wrong. They did some more blood work and the doctor called me at 9:30 at night to tell me the results. He was very confused because my Hcg levels were at 90,00, which is normal for an 8-10 week pregnancy (very high). Two of the doctors have consulted and feel that this is a molar pregnancy and that I need to have a D and C as this can be very dangerous to my health.
I went back to the doctor today and we have decided that it would be best to have the surgery. The surgery is scheduled for Thursday at 6:00 pm Please keep all of us in your prayers!!
