I Thank God For The Short Time
May 21, 2002
Hi. My name is Marcy. I suffered a miscarriage in March 2001. I was devastated! At the time we had three very beautiful daughters and were waiting very excitedly for this baby. But on that awful Saturday our lives were changed. We had to wait for three days to get into our doctors office. When we finally got in I was checked vaginally and my doctor tried to hear the baby's heartbeat. I was supposed to be 14 weeks along and we should have been able to hear the baby's heartbeat but all we heard was silence. The doctor sent us for an ultrasound and on that screen the first thing I seen was that still little body with no heartbeat. That was when they told us that I had lost the baby at 8 weeks and my body was just now responding. We were given the option of letting the baby pass natuarally or have a d&c. We chose the first option. That same day I felt something like my water breaking and had to run to the bathroom. I was so upset but one thing I clearly remember was never being mad at God. I just asked why I couldn't have seen the baby. Well, my prayer was answered. On the following Thursday I passed the baby. I seen her ( I truly beleive it was a girl) lying in the bottom of the toilet bowl. I had to get her out and take her to the doctor's office. I have never had an experince as gruesome and precious happen to me. She was so beautiful!!! We had already decided on a name and so Molly Pearl it was. To this day I still suffer depression bouts and on the anniversary of the day she passed I can't seem to function. We now have a fourth daughter and I was so scared with that pregnancy. But God was with us and helped us to have a healthy little girl. I thank Him everyday for allowing us to have that short time with her and bless us with our other children.
