Just that really.
I am actually going through our seventh miscarriage as I type, though this time at least it is mercifully early at 7 weeks.
I actually posted back in August when I had just lost our son Alex after going into premature labour, who was just under the cut off for still birth so also classed as a miscarriage.
I do have a uterine abnormality, a kind of bicornulate uterus with a septum. After we lost Alex the consultants told us of an operation I could maybe have that would reshape my womb.
However after viewing a 3d scan of my womb I was told that it would be a much bigger operation than previously thought and that there were only a couple of surgeons/ hospitals in the country that would try it. I'm waiting for a meeting about it but don't have my hopes up, as I was basically told it probably wouldn't improve my chances anyway.
So should I be thinking of giving up and being grateful for the lovely miracle dd I do have?
I should say it is others opinions that has me asking this. My parents I think were worried after the complications with Alex (haemorrhage) and I am getting the distinct impression from people that I should be wanting to stop putting myself and my partner through this now.
But to put it simply I don't. I don't want to give up. Right now I don't care how many more times this happens, as long as I get a breathing baby at the end of it all. I think that to just give up would cause me more pain than all of the losses put together. It would make it all seem for nothing if you see what I mean?
Or am I just being a selfish cow? I just can't tell anymore, my emotions are all over the place having basically spent the last four years pregnant.
