I lost my baby and need some advice please!?

Ok so I was 15 an a half weeks along and I have never been sooooo depressed in my whole life since losing my baby last night! I have a questions mainly on the hospital....

I went in on Wednesday night complaining of cramps and there was a LITTLE blood trace when I wiped from peeing... so when I got there they checked my vitals and made me pee in a cup.... they told me I had a urinary tract infection.... but did an ultrasound after me waitin for about 4 hours at least.... my baby was fine! Moving around (it was my first time seeing the ultrasound) I saw its heart beating and stuff.... then they did the internal ultrasound and found my cervix was short and told me that I would need to get that fixed sometime before I got too far along! Then they discharged me.... after giving my some antibotics for the infection through IV

As soon as I left I had worse cramping (which now I am thinkin was actually contractions now... but I have never had them so I had no idea I thought I was just supposed to take the vicodin they prescribed.... Well I had those pains sooo bad but around 7-8 on Thursday (last night) I felt the urge to go potty... while pushing somethin came out and I KNEW exactly what that meant so I basically started hypervenilating the ambulance took me in and the doctors were kinda rude like they didn't care one even yelled because I cussed when she poked me in the wrong spot with the IV! But anyway they just wanted me to do a D&C withouth checking with ultrasound! I wouldn't allow it because I didn't want my baby ripped apart! So I dealt with contractions mainly because I wanted to keep my baby in one piece so I could arrange for a buriel and stuff! I don't care if I was only in my early second trimester! Well they told me they couldn't find the baby and I had em check the toilet and everything! I ended up having to have the D&C because supposedly just the placenta hadn't came out yet and I was in tooo much pain! I didn't wanna do it but whatever....

Basically what I am getting at is did they do something wrong? Should they have NEVER discharged me without fixing my cervix first? Should I have been on a monitor the first time to see if in fact I was having contractions? My friend said she had the same problem with her cervix and had to go in 6 times and her baby was born perfectly healthy! I know people r different but I felt because I have DSHS medical among other things they didn't do everything they should have to help me and my baby! Also, they precribed me phenergan the first visit and I read online don't take it if u have severe asthma which I do...

Update:

thank you everybody for ur kind words!! so the vicodin was bad for the baby? i was afraid they prescribed me the wrong stuff! i just went through all the pain instead of gettin the D&C to keep my baby in one piece at least and i dunno! i am just soooo torn up about it and dont feel i can ever get over this! but i am going to try again as soon as i am healed

    so i just want to give you a bright light at the end of your dark tunnel...

    i had a miscarriage in july and it was the worst feeling ever and i think you described it perfect... they told me to wait and i bleed in the bathroom of the hospital and ended up having a miscarriage in the bathroom of the hospital because they thought i was overreacting! So i know how you feel about being ignored! and i didn't let them do a D&C and i was fine! my OB did a follow up and he said everything was going to be okay!!!

    But the light at the end of the tunnel is soon after my miscarriage i got pregnant again and im currently 16 weeks, the baby is healthy and now i know my baby has its big brother or sister looking over him/her from up above!!! its the only thing that got me through, i had pretty much given up until i found out god gave me another chance!!! but if you need someone to just listen to feel free to IM me (littleambii)AIM

    I hope everything works out And im so sorry for your loss hun!!!

    I'm sorry to hear about your lost. It sounds like you've been thur alot. I don't know why they would give you vicodin, is what my concern would be. If they told you that everything was fine they should have just told you to take some tylenol, as that is the only safe medication to use in pregnancy. I would think they would have had to check you again and give you another ultra sound before performing a d&c. You should check into the hospital and make sure they didn't do something wrong. I also had a miscarriage but mine was at 6 weeks and I didn't have cramping, I was bleeding alot though. I know everyone is different like you said. I know this is a very hard time for you and this may not be very comforting now but just know that everything happens for a reason. God needed our babies before we got to see them, but that doesn't make them any less of a baby.

    Oh my honey, I'm so sorry you had to go through this.

    I miscarried on my first pregnancy and the pain was unbearable. I had to be taking to the hospital on an ambulance and good thing my boyfriend was with me. I screamed and cried half the way there and even more when I got there.

    I'm not sure what to tell you about the hospital. I stayed there for about 12 hours having them take blood, do vaginal ultrasounds and checking my cervix and all that. It was traumatic and I still haven't been able to get over it. I'm so sorry for your loss.

    I know this isn't much help but it was the best I could do. You have an angel in heaven now. *hugs*

    Im sorry for your loss. I had a m/c in April, so i know how it feels. It does sound like they were a bit negligent. I would atleast consult with someone who has legal experience(maybe a friend/relative), and maybe they can advise you on whether or not you have a shot at taking any action against the hospital. I am pretty sure they will say it was just a m/c, a spontaneous thing that just happens, and its noones fault. But it does sound like they were at the very least, negligent. Good Luck!

    i am sorry to hear that you have lost your baby. now even though it seems like something should have been done to prevent this there is really nothing they can do. the only thing they could have done was give you something for the pain and wait it out. your doctor has to make the call on your cervix the er just treats your current symptoms. now they should not have given you vicodin while your baby was still alive. i am sorry once again. god bless my dear.
