179. Please, Mommy?

When I came on call Friday I looked at my schedule and saw a D&C (dilation and curettage) added to my schedule for 1:30, a miscarriage.  I looked up the chart and saw that Emilia also underwent D&Cs for miscarriages in 2013 and 2011.  

All told she has experienced 6 miscarriages and one life birth. The most recent miscarriages may be related to her age, 42, but there may be some other factors to explain so many.

She tells me that she didn't really want to try another pregnancy, but her daughter keeps pleading for a brother or sister. But this is it, she tells me, not again. I want to believe her.

  1. Time to get a kitten, a puppy or a really expensive stuffed animal.
