At 11 weeks I found out my baby had no heartbeat & was only measuring up to around 7 weeks. Two days later I opted to have the surgical option instead of allowing the natural process to happen. I am a very strong willed woman but after being so excited for my baby I think seeing it would have been to much for me :(
I’m regards to the surgery I had local anaesthetic because
- it was the faster option, general anaesthetic surgery would have meant I had to wait longer days to get it done
- I had looked forward to labour and I felt that being awake and aware of what was happening was a way of me regaining power and saying goodbye to my baby.
The nurses and doctors was all lovely throughout the whole process & my OH was extremely supportive.
The pain through the surgery was around 9/10 but honestly that last for a maximum of two minutes If that! But once I had gotten home and the tablets wore off it had been the worse pain in my life! I’m assuming it felt the same as contractions, my belly felt like it was ripping apart! Today though all symptoms are very low. Pain scale is 2/3 If that.
Has anyone else been through this and has a story they would like to express or can offer me some insight into how they felt after?
Love & Light to you all ✨
