Heartbroken

Christine

One week ago we were told there was no longer a heartbeat. I was 9w2d. In the last week I have dealt with every emotion... 2 rounds of cytotec(misoprostol)... And last night finally my body was able to complete the miscarriage. The bleeding was horrendous and the clots were ginormous... I almost passed out after 6 hours of this... After taking in some fluids and crackers I began to feel better but just totally exhausted. Today after only a few hours of sleep I'm feeling mentally and physically drained. I had hoped for a sense of closure but instead I just feel in shock and numb. I follow up with my doc tomorrow and will hopefully see everything was passed... Instead I just want to stay home and grieve. I need to go back to work... I'm a nurse in general pediatrics so mentally I need to be even more prepared... This is not my first loss as I miscarried with a blighted ovum three years ago...

How do/did you get past the first few days or weeks?
