I had my follow up with my ob/gyn this morning. How ironic is it that I had to cancel last weeks appt and reschedule and the day I reschedule - he has the genetics results from my miscarriage?? *shrug* Weird.
Anyway, turns out this baby woulda been a boy. I had thoughts all along it was a girl, but the records say boy. Hubby woulda been exceptionally happy. Turns out the cause of the miscarriage was a full Trisomy 18. Doc says it's not uncommon. Wasn't anything I did or didn't do, which of course makes me feel a little better. That mommy guilt is brutal. If I woulda gone on to have this baby, it probably wouldn't have lived past infancy anyway. It's weird how your body just knows something isn't right and just takes care of it.
Anyway. I'm glad I know and it has helped take a weight off my shoulders. The sadness is still there and I guess it will be for a while. I don't think it helps that I know hubby and I really won't have anymore children. But I'm glad I got the results. Knowing was definitely better then not knowing.
