am feeling very humbled. there are lots of terrible stories on the b.boards, but have just read one from a woman who lost a baby at 34 weeks last year after intrauterine surgery for a heart condition (the baby's). she tried again late last year, got pregnant but the baby failed to grow. Two weeks after the D & C, they told her it was ectopic and she had to go in again to have the foetus removed from her tube.
no one should have to go through that. the surgery etc is one thing, but knowing that it's for your baby, which is dying, is just too much for anyone to bear. and now she's wondering if she should try again.
in comparison to which, a couple of routine procedures and an almost unnoticeable biochemical pregnancy are nothing. wouldn't it be better if it was straightforward: you can get pregnant or you can't, and that's that.
did someone say something once about despair being OK, it's the hope that gets you?
