Please keep me and my family in your prayers. Over the weekend, I had some cramping and bleeding. Hubby took me to the ER and they did an ultrasound. The ultrasound revealed that I had a type of miscarriage called a blighted ovum. This is when the egg is fertilized and you get pregnant but the egg dies either before it gets to the uterus or some weeks after. In the meanwhile, your body produces all the other things that you need for pregnancy. (It's kind of like your body is getting ready for the prom but your date stood you up.) Once this happens, your body will either expel everything on its own or you can have it surgically removed. My OB decided that it's taking too long for my body to get rid of everything naturally (thus setting me up for infection) and scheduled me for surgery tomorrow afternoon. I am a little bit frightened at being put to sleep, but I know that this is for the best. Hubby and I have been talking about this and praying over this for the last few days and we have to come to a sort of quiet acceptance about this even though we are very disappointed that we won't be having a baby right now. Just please pray for us during this difficult time. Thanks a lot, ya'll.

Hey Sistergreek,
I won't start in with all the cliches, but just know that I'll be praying for you and your husband. I'm really, really sorry to hear about this.
