Stillbirth
I recently just lost my child. Last Wednesday (10/5/16) I was told by the ob that there was no heartbeat. Last Thursday (10/6/16) I was induced. Between last Wednesday and today I haven't really had a chance to grieve due to being in the hospital, setting up her funeral, burying her, trying to be strong for my 2 year old daughter, etc. I can't eat or sleep right, I can't walk past a pregnant woman without getting angry, I can't stand talking to my cousin and sister in law because they are pregnant as well and my sister in law's due date is 4 days before my original due date. On top of it all, I can't figure out why my blood tests didn't show up any chromosome abnormalities. All my tests came back normal during pregnancy. But my midwife/ob told me that my daughter showed signs of a chromosome defect. I'm trying to stay strong and keep busy, but at nighttime everything closes in on me and I get angry. Is this normal? Is it part of the grieving process?
