Im scared that I want conceive again,& if I do will I be treated like this from another health care facility AGAIN??????

Answer 1

I am sorry for your loss.
I was treated almost the same way you were describing 6 years ago in a Ca. hospital. Did they give you a reason why this happened?? Me I have hypothyroidism and was never supposed to get pregnant but with a lot of prayer and a lot of negative pregnancy tests 3 years later we had a healthy baby boy and we just had another baby boy 4 months ago.
So yes with time and prayer you will be able to get pregnant again. WHEN you become pregnant or even before check out your OB-GYNs pick one you feel most comfortable with and let them know your history with that hospital and your fears - they will listen.

Good Luck!!!

What you experienced is called a spontaneous abortion. Dont freak out....it doesnt mean that you are at fault. It is the definition of a miscarriage. What no one has told you thus far, is that most miscarriages are simply nature taking care of things. Most miscarriages happen because the pregnancy is simply not viable.....which means that there is something wrong with the fetus, and that the pregnancy would more than likely not make it to full gestation even if the doctors were able to stop it for a time. I know its hard to live through, I had a miscarriage myself, many years ago. But the good news is, I had two more children after that.
My experience at the hospital was much like yours too. I had been in for spotting and sent home for bedrest. I got restless and went to a movie two days later....and began bleeding severely with cramping. When I got to the hospital, I was told to sit in a waiting room even after I told them I was bleeding heavily. I told them that I was having a miscarriage and they said, all women think they are miscarrying if they have a little spotting. Go sit down. They made me sit there for over an hour. They even kicked my husband out of the emergency room because he started screaming at them to help me. I ended up miscarrying while I was being forced to give them a urine sample. I went hysterical and started screaming....they sedated me and did the DNC and after that....every one of those jerks that had told me to calm down before....came by and apologised to me. I probably should have filed a case against them, but I was young and didnt know. I didnt have a near death experience, but I do know how scared you must have been with the medical staff behaving as they did.
Dont worry though. There are so many good hospitals and pediatric personnel, if you take your time and find the one that is best suited to you and your needs, your next pregnacy and birth will be a happy time for you. I was terrified when I got pregnant again. Until I got to my second trimester, I was almost afraid to even sneeze.
You will get through this. You will have your time of mourning. It will be difficult when you see other babies for a while. You may feel jealous of those mothers and even avoid friends that have children around the age of the one that you lost. This is normal. It will pass with time. It helped me to think that my baby was in heaven. That God had seen what was happening and took the child into his arms and held it close to him. I decided that heaven had needed another angel, and my angel was the one that they chose. It may sound corny, but that was what got me through it.

Answer 3

I'm so sorry about your experience. I know what it is like to be in that situation. I actually started hemoraging at home and passed out, by the time I got to the hospital I had lost the baby. I had a very good experience and was well taken care of, so I hope you never have an experience like that again, especially the miscarriage thing. It is very possible to get preganant again, many women will concieve again even soon after a miscarriage, give yourself time to heal and see your dr first so that they can give you the okay. I hope this helps.

No, I had a miscarriage almost 2 years ago, I was in the hospital in Alabama and was left there for 2 hours just gushing out blood. But I conceived 3 months later and this time went to a different hospital, and doctor. And now she is a healthy 18 months old. Sorry about your loss, and good luck in conceiving in the future

Answer 5

If I were you I would not go back to that hospital again I would try another one. but hte first thing I would do is ask my doctor what happen & why did you have the miscarriage, & would you be able to concecive again. My heart goes out to you. I lost my son three years ago & I still mourn. He was only six days old when he died. I had he @ 25 weeks which was six month. And when I had him they told me that I wouldn't beable to have anymore at that time I didn't care and then they told me that I could but at that time I still didn't want to have any cause what I had to go threw when I had him until he died and thats when I said that I want anther one. So take your time and don't rush. So when you do decide to have another one that you get plenty of rest.

Answer 6

First of all let me say i'm sorry...that must have been a terrible experience for you...it may be possible for you to concieve again but you won't know for sure until you go to a reputable facility and have a doctor check you out very well...just because you had a bad experience at one hospital doesn't mean they are all that way...i hope you get the help you need and find out everything will be all right...the best of luck to you

Answer 7

Sometimes doctors make mistakes, tragic mistakes....and it sucks. if i were you, when you get pregnant again, i would choose a different hospital. and if you can get pregnant again depends on the reason you miscarried. a lot of women have miscarriages. my mother had 3, but she also had 3 healthy babies. i've had 2 miscarriages, and the doctor said it might be because i don't have enough progesterone, so when i start trying to have a baby, i have to check into that, and see if i need to take hormones. also, many women miscarry and don't even know it. so hang in there.. you can try to discuss with them the cause of your miscarriage, or see another doctor to discuss possibilities. and i'm sending hugs and love your way.. miscarriages are so hard...

Answer 8

Dont worry yourself unless your doctor told you that you cant conceive. I've had three miscarriages and now I'm pregnant with my fourth baby and everything is okay with me and the baby. I had the chance to see my baby @ 8wks and everything. Things happen for a reason trust me, after I lost my first baby tragiclly, I thought I would never be able to conceive again. Yeah right, I got pregnant again 7mths later. Even though I lost that one, got pregnant for a thrid time and I lost that one just this last Oct. At that point, I had no hope and I just didnt believe the doctors when they told me that it will be okay and that I will be able to have a baby. I didnt believe them. Well, it finally happen for me. I'm 11wks and my baby is okay. It will happen for you, just give it time. You may be feeling sad that you last your baby but always remember, Time heals all wounds, no matter how big or small. GOOD LUCK!!

Answer 9

Miscarriage is so common in women... we just don't think it is because 99 % of the time women didn't even know they miscarried! Just understand that 75% of the time you miscarry because there is something genetically wrong with the fetus!
When I miscarried the ER sent me home (after being seen though) as well, they said my cervix wasn't open... although the next day I did miscarry...
Your chances of getting pregnant again are just as they were before, don't worry!
I got pregnant 3 months after I miscarried

Sorry for such a horrible experience!

Answer 10

that sucks.
i'm sure you'll be able to conceive again, though you may need a little help and it may be high risk, so you'll likely be monitered pretty closely.

But ya... not to sound harsh, but what do you expect from a medical facility in the US????

Come up to Canada... when I had my baby, my hospital stay (about a week due to some complications) was like a freakin holiday. A FREE holiday (hurray healthcare)
