Pro-Choice

for a routine appointment when pregnant for the second time. My first pregnancy ended in miscarriage. I was so hopeful the send time around. I was just shy of 12 weeks along at that appointment when my doctor told my husband and me there was a problem with the heartbeat….it was slow and sluggish. I went in two days later and the heartbeat had stopped. The fetus was dead. It took another 4 days to get a d&c procedure. Only 4 days…but that 4 days was torture knowing I was carrying something that was dead. I cannot imagine that woman’s pain and suffering. My heart is with her and every pregnant person who is tortured like this.
