Thank you, boatbums. After the initial shock of being found in that situation and recovering from surgery, there was quite a bit of emotional pain. My child was very much wanted and loved and it was a terrible loss to both my husband and I. I was fortunate that it was caught in time and that the rest of my reproductive organs were intact. 1year later, I gave birth to my oldest child.
Having experienced two high-risk pregnancies that ended in the deaths of my children, I completely understand, and deeply sympathize.
