Hi, can I join in? I was six weeks pregnant (though I should have been almost 8 weeks according to my dates) and miscarried over the weekend. We never did see the heartbeat, but according to the ultrasound last Wednesday the baby was still growing. It was awful...we had just told my kids (ages 5 and 4) the big news a few days earlier because things were looking okay with the pregnancy. And we were travelling over the Easter holiday when it happened. This was my first miscarriage. Went to the dr. on Monday and from the ultrasound it looks like the bulk of it passed this weekend. I'm still having some bleeding, but the cramping has gotten so much better. The ultrasound on Monday gave me some closure but I feel really empty inside. We are having this cold dreary weather today...and it matches my mood completely.
I go back and forth between wanting to talk about it and wanting to keep it private. Our families know and I let my closest friends know what was going on through e-mail, but don't really want to talk about it too much in person.
Amanda, I read the Twilight series...it's a good escape! I need to find another mindless book or something. Today I was using chocolate, and that's not a good way to cope! We already have a treadmill... maybe I'll buy a Wii/Wii Fit. |
