i had a miscarriage
i had a miscarriage
caitlyn was choking and t scared me so i noticed i was bleeding and went to the dr they said i lost the baby
answers (7)
I lost a baby at 20 weeks and you don't just bleed it out. The baby would have been big enough for you to feel and see it. At 20 weeks my baby was 12 inches long. So for you to just bleed it out is, I think impossible. From someone that truly lost a baby, I don't think this is a matter to lie or joke about.
Okay well I was trying to shorten the story. But you want the full efect i'll give it to you. I gave my daughter cut up strawberries with yogurt because it's her fav lunch. Then I walked out of the room to get the dirty clothes out of are bedrooms and bathrooms and threw them in the washer. When I came back like maybe 2 or 3 minutes later she was choking. I ran to her and tried for like 5 minutes to get it out of her mouth. She started turning blue so I ran to the bedroom to get my husband who was still asleep. When I got him up he was trying to help her and i ran next door and tried to get the neighbors phone. But they weren't home so I went back home and her face was almost grey and I thought she was dead. My husband was so upset that when she was in his arms he hit her on the belly with his fist because at that point we had lost her. There was nothing to do then and when he did it flew out of her mouth. Then I was sitting on the bed holding her my arms trying CPR! and everything I could to get my baby back. Then she cried and coughed and started moving around and breathing. I got up to try to find are phone but caitlyn had been playing with it earlier that day so I had no idea where it was. And when I got up I started cramping really bad and my husband started freaking out because he seen blood where I was sitting. I looked and there was blood everywhere it was on the sheets running down my leg and on my pants. So I gave him the baby and ran to the bathroom. When I sat down I felt the baby come out I just started screaming ''my baby'' then my husband came in there. Then everything was blurry and I fell into the floor. Then I woke up in the hospital my husband was crying and my mother was there crying. I ask where caitlyn was and they said they had her checked out and shes ok but she might have a sore throught. Then the doctor came in and I ask if I was ok and if my baby made it. The doctor avoided my questions he told me i lost alot of blood but they didn't need to give me blood and they would just give me iron pills to help me build my own. Then he said ''im sorry but the baby is gone'' And I said what do you mean my baby is gone then he said the worst words i've ever heard he said ''oceana you lost the baby''. And at that moment I was so upset that I could've tore them all apart so I got up out of bed still shaking but so hurt that it didn't matter. I ran to the nursery and was beating on the window saying ''who let my baby die'' ''you can't take my baby''. They gave me seditives to calm me down. It was a horrible expeirence for me and I wanted to forget it I am upset just talking about how scared I was ok is it ok for me to not wanna talk about how I almost lost caitlyn then lost my baby. Does u=it really matter to you that my baby died. But thank you mamablue for caring a little.
okay first of all.. if someone lost a baby you dont accuse them of lying. a normal person with a heart would show some respect!! everyone's experience with pregnancy is different. if you ARE a mother or if you are trying to concieve you would know that already! she doesnt have to write her whole life story to seem "emotional" .. she is probably in shock. oceana i am so sorry for your loss and i wish you and your family the best. i am so happy that your baby survived that incident. i hope you get all the love and support you can at this time.. take care!
First off... a lot of her questions and statements on here are pretty out there. And if you go through and pay attention, there have been several instances where things don't quite add up. I would hate to accuse anybody in that situation of lieing, especially since I have been there and know just how heartbreaking it truly is, but yet again her story just does not seem to quite add up... not in the least.
1. At +23 weeks it would be a stillbirth, not a miscarriage.
2. At +23 weeks your baby would not just "come out" at random, you would first have to dialate and push to get them out.
3. If she lost enough blood to pass out for that amount of time, which seems to be quite a while from the sounds of her story, then she would have required a blood transfusions. No health care provider in their right mind would just "give her some iron supplements".
4. I'm really curious how she just got out of bed and ran to the nursery when she would A. be hooked up to IV's and/or machines and B. be very weak.
If she is in fact telling the truth, then I am extremely sorry for her loss. But if this is some sort of weird attention seeking ploy, then she should really be ashamed of herself. Something like that is a huge slap in the face to people who have truly had to experience the devistation of childloss.
I'm sorry but I agree with meganstrang above... I only come on this site randomly. I like the articles and most of the posted Q&A are interesting and informative. A lot of what "oceana" says seems a little far-fetched and for those people that did truly lose a multiple pregnancy after trying rounds of fertilily (remember she said she was pregnant with 6 fetuses but hers was spontaneous, not real believable to start with) or have a stillborn at 20+ weeks, this is rude and an obnoxious way to get attention. I try not to judge, but its a little obvious to anyone normal reading her posts. I've had friends and family who have had late term miscarriages and they would be too distraught to write a post, comment or detailed description of how the scene at the hospital went down.
