I lost my baby

I am 17 weeks 5 days and they told me I lost my baby. The baby measures 2 weeks behind and there is no heartbeat. I feel so horrible and sad and upset. This is my 4th pregnancy and I have lost every single one of my babies. Baby1 and 10 weeks 4 days on August 4th 2013 baby2 at 35 weeks on November 12th 2014 baby3 at 11 weeks and 3 days on September 15th 2015 and now baby4 17 weeks and 5 days on May 27th 2016. They will do a d&e sometime next week. I'm so scared I don't like that I'm having it. Has anyone gone through a d&e. How was it like. And please pray for me. I really need it.

Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers I am posting my labor and delivery story soon. All I have to say is that it is crazy. I never expected it to go the way it did. I had a baby boy who I named Elijah David. I got to see him briefly and he was so tiny. Look out for my labor and delivery story I'll be posting soon. Oh and I will be starting a vlog on YouTube soon. If you guys want to check it out. In the following month I'm think starting July I will be starting my channel on YouTube. I could really use the support and the prayers thanknyou so much for all of your information and prayers and help.

Have they done blood work and ultrasound to confirm that baby has indeed died? Mistakes in diagnoses have been made before.
If you want more info you could check out  Stirrup Queens website about d&c and d&c after pregnancy loss.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Thank you. I've had a d&c done before and it was scary and fast. But a d&e is different and from what I know it's the same thing they do to woman who have abortions this late in pregnancy. Which scares me and I hate that that's my only option. I won't be able to hold my baby. I won't be able to see my baby. Only get foot prints and handprints of my baby. I really hate this. And my birthday is next week I was expecting to be extremely happy and celebrating instead of mourning.

Very sorry to hear.  My mom was told she'd never have children and had multiple miscarriages, she had me and my sister. If it helps to hear some good news. My  understanding is d&c causes cramping , if you're scared ask your doctor to explain it better.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I've had 3 miscarriages before my current pregnancy. I had a D&C with the first. It was very easy. Minimal bleeding and light cramping after the first day. I was functioning as normal physically within a few days.
