Miscarriage Advice?
So I just miscarried yesterday at 4-5 weeks (4 weeks and 4 days according to the app). I had a sneaking suspicion that this pregnancy was not meant to last and yet the more days passed, the more I couldn't help but get excited over the possibility.
4 weeks isn't that long, I know. We only knew officially for a week! And yet, it felt like a month at least.
I guess what got me the most was the idea that we could bring a being into this world that could me the best of both of us that we fell in love with - at least, that's what I fell in love with.
My entire body felt so alive, you know? It was so early, yet I felt this constant hum in my belly as if life itself was percolating away, and then... it just stopped. The humming, the bigger than life dreams, the cravings, everything, they just stopped.
Everything fell suspiciously silent, and were replaced with cramps and spotting, and I knew in my heart of hearts what was coming, and the next morning I woke to a wave of red.
And I know it could be worse. It could be an ectopic pregnancy, or I could have been 4-5 months in, instead of 4-5 weeks! But the shock, anger, sorrow, physical pain - they are all still there!
This was my first pregnancy. My first miscarriage.
For those of you out there who have miscarried, do you have any advice? Anyway to help get through the initial phase of healing? I'm at a complete loss.
