Alone for my ultrasound thanks to COVID-19.

Two words no expectant mom wants to hear. No heartbeat. The visual on the screen confirms it is true.

We are heartbroken.

Appointment with OB tomorrow to determine next steps. The doctor I saw at my ultrasound today wants me to deliver within this week due to the increased risk to my health if I continue to carry the baby. I’m measuring 5 weeks ahead of where I should be. There is so. much. fluid.

Telling the kids was one of the hardest (if not the hardest) thing I have had to do. This baby was so wanted, so loved.

I cannot believe this is our reality and don’t understand why.
