Miscarriage

[cag82174]

After my bout of food poisoning last week, I decided I was well enough to go to work last Thurs.  At work, I started to bleed and did not stop.  I phoned my midwife.  She told me to prepare for the fact that I might have a miscarriage, but there was nothing definitive yet.  She said I could wait it out, come in to get my blood drawn the next day,

You have been in my thoughts and will continue to be.

After our recent miscarriage, I found it helped a little to think about the fact that fetus' are little biology experiments that grow and slowly take over their own functions are designed to fail if for some reason they can't cope with the outside world.

I found it helped a little to think about the fact that the average woman has 3 pregnancies resulting in two live births.

I found it helped a little to remember that miscarriages aren't anyone's fault. Not the parents. Not god. Not the midwife.

But mostly it helped to cry and take hugs from people around me.

*hugs*

I realise that I've read this almost a year after the fact, but I'm crying a little right now, remembering how hard my miscarriage was. And looking at the ring on my right hand that's in memory of my baby. Hugs. I'm so sorry.

Hi there. And sorry to you too :-( Jeff did say some things that I needed to hear at the time. I've realized too there is no time line for grief. I think it has been the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with. I like the idea of a ring. I wish I had thought of something like that.

I'm happy now too to think that we are both having healthy pregnancies and will be welcoming babies into the world this summer.
