Misdiagnosed Miscarriage by two doctors

For the past week I have been dreading having to post on here, having to say it out loud that I had lost my baby, so I took my time, I mourned and grieved and slept for a week straight.

December 28 2012, while at Disneyland I looked down to see blood soaking through my pants, I called my doctor but seeing as how I live 7 hours from Orange County they suggested I go to the ER sooner than later.

 The ambulance picked me up from Disneyland and after 7 hours in the ER they told me there was no yolk sac and it was an abnormal pregnancy. 

 On Friday, I had my 1st prenatal appt. which had been changed to a follow up for miscarriage. After seeing my doctor for all of 10 minutes he gave me an ultrasound and concluded that it was abnormal. He was perplexed though because my urine test was extremely positive. 

I got a third opinion that same day and after an eternity of silence my heart jolted as I saw her turning the screen to show me something.

 There it was, my baby's heartbeat. My fiance and I immediately burst into tears, she pushed my due date back to August 30 and marked me at 6w0d which is why the ER couldn't see a yolk sac 7 days before.

I am so sorry for any women out there who's babies have passed away and I hope this gives the slightest bit of hope for those who were in my situation.

I believe in a lot of things. I believe in fresh tennis balls, the healing power of bunnies, and that the novels of Susan Sontag are something I'll never read. In fact, I don't even know who Susan Sontag is. What is she... like... a painter? I believe in Crystal Lite because I believe in ME. I believe in the movies of Val Kilmer, though these days it ain't so easy. I believe in Darren Sproles, the word "dabble", the first season of "Silk Stockings", and big, warm, moist, gooey chocolate chip cookies that melt in your mouth and all over your face.

That is both horrible that you went through that, and wonderful that your baby is actually ok.  I have gone through a miscarriage at 14 weeks and being 8 weeks pregnant now three years later is still just so scary.  I'm happy to be pregnant, but so scared of what might happen.  Anyway, I'm glad to hear your baby is ok.
