I had a blighted ovum my first pregnancy. I went in my into my 8 wk ultrasound and right away I knew something was wrong. About 2 wks later I started to spot and finally passed the sac later that day. It was just a terrible situation. We were TTC for over 1 yr and then this happened to us. I still cry about our loss from time to time because I can't help but think about the baby that could have been. Time helps heal but you cant forget the pain of losing a pregnancy
Im so sorry.. My and my girlfriend are going throught this right now.. We have a last UltraSound this friday to see if there is a fetus or not.. Im sooo sorry!
When they tell you that the sac is empty, that is exactly how you feel, empty. And they act so nonchalant as if you hadn't already had dreams about this life that you thought was growing.
A blighted ovum isn't as bad as most miscarriages cause the baby doesn't develop. I had a blighted ovum and basically there was never a baby just a sac the baby never fully developed and i ended up bleeding like a period it wasn't all that bad however I blame my miscarriage on me breastfeeding my daughter at the time I was breastfeeding for 2 years so I was lacking the hormones to help develop a proper baby, I have done lots of research and for any mother breastfeeding and pregnant they need t
I've had 2 dear friends who lost they're babies 2 weeks past their due dates. I blame the doctors for 1 because the mom was bleeding and instead of getting the baby out they put a fetal monitor on her and after a few hours the babies heart stopped. They rushed her in for a cecariam but, too late. Little Trevor was a perfect beautifull baby who was cheated out of life by a doctor and his golph game.(continued)
i fell pregnant at 15 but lost my baby due to a blighted ovum when bub was 11 weeks , my doctor at the hospital told me i was to young to have a baby in the first place and gosh i felt yelling at him why should you have any more life than what my baby should have had and he told me this after coming out of my ultrasound and finding my baby was no more . ......... 1 week after the blighted
ovum i had to go to hospital once again because the baby was not passing which then pushed along my spiral of depression , the depression lasted at full extent till 23 of august , 2010 when my baby was meant to be born but even now it hurts to think about loosing my baby and i think that's a pain that will never leave a burning heart of a mother . my own mother is now 8 months into her own pregnancy .
I had a miscarriage over 20 years ago.... yes it was very painful , but this past year.... I lost my 28 year old son. A son I've had for 28 beautiful years......it's just to much
Beautifully done. My husband and I have been together 19 years since we were 17, and married 15 of those years. We have suffered two miscarriages, and now we can't have kids. This video is a beautiful tribute.
@1979tiffy There was nothing you could have done. If you're anything like me you want to know why. My babies would be senior year in highschool, and one in college. I'm sorry for your loss.
Thank you for suchj a wonderful video. I have had two blighted ovums and a succesful pregnancy. I am sadden by my 2 losses but i have to stay strong for my 10 month old. I just find it funny that my first pregnancy was a blighted and so was my 3. I am thankful though that god allowed me t have my beautiful healthy son. God bless all you women who have to go through the same wait and pain i have gone through.
i could barley watch this without crying i am 10 weeks and 5 days pregnant and they told me i would miscarry and i started bleeding yesterday . i have a healthy 2 year old that i have to be strong for
This is so heartbreaking for me, I am 11 weeks as well and no baby! blighted ovum I have to wait for my empty sac to come out the wait is horrible. I have 2 girls and a great husband that keep me strong. But everything was planned for our three children. my due date was 6/17/2009, I'm always sad but have to show a positive me for my loved ones...thank you for this wonderful video
I am sorry for your loss ore babies would have been born the same day only 2 years appart.I have went trough 2 miscarriages this year.Praying for a sticky baby .God knows are prayers and will answer them one day.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I was told yesterday that at 12 weeks there was no heartbeat and now I am having to wait to see if my baby is alive or not. You're right when you said that everything happens for a reason but that doesn't make it hurt an less painful. I wish you the best in life.
i had a miscarriage back in april, my baby would of been due anytime now, i find myself crying a lot at the moment, my sister in law just got pregnant (and i am so made up for her) and all my mum keeps going on about is buying stuff for them....i am finding things sooooooo hard at the moment.....it was a miracle i even got pregnant in the 1st place as we have been trying for 12yrs...when i miscarried i found out it was probably twins aswell...this will be my 6th miscarriage and ive had 1 ectopic
i love this video. my hubby and i went thru this difficult yet happy time. because we knew he/she wld be going home to our lord & savior. & ur right only he know why all happen's. all we can do and must do is keep faith and strength and trying as well. not one day goes by that i dnt thnk about our lil angel & in time. and prayer. baby dust to all and mot of all keep you all who r ttc in my prayer's GOD BLESS YOU ALL
i went for 7-8 wk scan the other day and all i culd see was an empty sac, i have to go back in 2 wks for another scan i am so confused and worried, my friend just had her 8 wk scan and saw her little bean and its heart beat, it was so heart breaking.just got my head round actually being preg and figured i really wanted to do this and b a mum, now its like im not even gonna get to have it, talk bout ups and downs, now its just a waiting game :(
this just happened to me for the second time. i had a D&C today when i was over bleeding during a miscarriage. going through 4 pads every half hour. this happened a week after i found out i had a blighted ovum. it is very heartbreaking and hard to understand.i have never been through a more physically painful experience. i was shot up with two morphine's and blood was everywhere. this is a lovely video it really brought tears to my eyes. i still can't walk into my baby room.
I am so sorry for your loss. I went through this twice so i know how you feel. Its nice knowing i am not alone. I had got to just 12 weeks and the heart beat was not strong (but still viable). went back for another scan a week later and the heart had stopped. Had D&C next day. Always keep your chin up and keep smiling. You are not alone.
I am so happy you made your video. I went for an emergency scan yesterday at 10 weeks after a tiny bleed the day before. The midwife showed us the ultrasound and it was an empty. I am still heart broken and your video sums up everything I feel just now. its is a beautifuk trubute x
i was just told on dec.22,2008 that our angel has disappeared they want me to go back on tuesday dec 30 to see whats goin on. i was 9 weeks along but it only showed about 5 weeks also. they want to see i will pass the sac on my own of if i will have to have a D&C done. plz pray for me
This is so heartbreaking! I am now carrying a sac without my baby! 10 weeks preg but u\s only showed a 5-week sac. OB said to wait for another 2 weeks.. the wait is so horrible..still 10 days to wait but I am losing hope. This would be my 6th pregnancy. 3 are alive and this would be my 3rd miscarriage due to blighted ovum and it still hurts!
There is a children's book, called Molly's Rosebush, that explains how sometimes a flower won't blossom or an egg won't hatch...and it helped me because I can't find it in myself to say, it happened for a reson, but maybe it's part of natural selection. I've never heard this typed of pregnancy called a blighted ovum, I was told my baby died, the sac kept growing, and that it was a missed miscarriage, because there was a baby, they sometimes get reabsorbed...
i too have just had one...these things happen for a reason...be strong ladies these things are thrown to try us & we have to pull through all these hard times...we have bad to appreciate the good :o) xxxx
i too have lost a pregnancy due to blighted ovum, and i went through a regular labor i was suposed to be 13 weeks but empty 7 week sac:( and then my sis in law found out she was prego and due on my bday i find myself questioning more and more latley y it happend...i went through the labor instead of a d&C because i was led to believe that everything was ok and the doc didnt do a scan i had went to another ob so yes its very hard to hear especially when u want it as bad as we did be strong ladies
i know and feel everyones pain im still going thru the pain of finding out that i also had a blighted ovum i would have been 11 weeks by know but last week i was put on misoprostol to bring on the miscarriage it was long and painful i took the neds vaginally at 10 am and didint pass the sac til 630 pm. when i passed it i felt relieved but at the same time empty...its been a week today and im still in denial especially since i had 2 previous pregnancys
I know your pain. After 6 years of trying and going through fertility treatment, we had given up. I was told at 15 that I would NEVER have children so at this point, I believed them. One morning, I awoke from a dream of taking a pregnancy test w/ a positive result so of course, I tested and found out I was pregnant, only to find out at 3 months that it was a blighted ovum. The next month, I was pregnant again, I have a healthy 4 yr old now. When he was 15 months old, I had another blighted ovum.
I havent actually been diagnosed with a blighted ovum but Im sure thats what I have. I went for an early scan today, I should be 7 weeks pregnant but the scan shows that Im only 4 weeks. Also theres just a sac too. I was told that my body will naturally miscarry but how long can that take?
Hey Lucy mayby its simpy too early to detect a embryo bcos ur only 4weeks.Contact ur GP or go to hospital again & make sure u get all ur questions answered & reassure urself chick.Its very confusing when things like this happen so make sure everything is explained.When I had my blighted ovum my body dispposed of the sac.(its not sore..its just like the white discharge u have b4 ur period)I had a D&C at hospital after & then my period came again.All the best & always have hope x
I had this happen to me twice. The first time, I was 3 months and miscarried naturally. The second time, I had a D&C at three months so I wouldn't have to go through what I went through the first time. I wish you the best!
I know howq you feel. I am going in tomarrow for a d&c because of a bighted ovum. I should be 10 weeks. Sorry for ur loss. God be with all of those who have to go through this.
I went to the doctor last Wednesday I am supposed to be 12 weeks. They did an ultrasound and they are telling me I am only 8weeks they can't find a heartbeat or bloodflow. They are telling me I had a miscarriage and my body hasn't accepted it. I researched it and decided I'll get another opinion. I have never been in so much pain in my life. I thought I couldnt have kids and when I finally do get pregnant its over before it starts. I know exactly how you feel.
I am watching this video, b/c I'm a little concerned about my baby. I've been going to the dr. every day for the past two weeks, they finally saw the sack in my uterus yesterday but no baby...they say maybe I could be too early for them to see anything or I could be having an ectopic pregnancy, but my mom mentioned a blight ovum b/c she had one before my brother. So...I'm wondering if that's what's happening to me..?
Same thing happened to me. Doctors were so cold about it. telling me I was never pregnant, there was no baby.. Then why a positive test? Why a sac? Told me that I shouldn't mourn something that was never there... I feel your pain.
At one point u had conceived,ur body was carrying preg hormone,dats y a preg test picked the hormone up,giving pos preg test.ur whole life changes when you find out ur preg & den 4 it all 2 b takn away is v hard 2 accept.I was v confused when i ad my blighted ovum.I done alot of research 2 find abit mre about it so I cod kindof understand y dey occur.let urself cum 2terms wit it all.Always rem u ave plenty of yrs ahead to conveive again.Always think positive.I wish u all the best in da future xo
When i went for my emergency scan.. my baby wasnt in the womb? The only thing the nurse said was 'the pregnancy stopped progressing at some point - theres a sac but no baby' - and she sent me home to have the miscarriage
Glad video made you feel better chick.Always rem ur not on your own.You will always wonder and question why this happened to you.But the best thing you can do for yourself is to think positive.xox All the best
