Miscarriage and emotions-- Trigger warning ⚠️
I had just found out I was pregnant when I lost the baby. For a full week I was pretty certain I was pregnant, and for 4 days I had intense symptoms. I got a positive pregnancy test and then began to bleed A LOT the following morning. The bleeding started 3 days ago and has not stopped.
This was not a wanted pregnancy. We were not trying to get pregnant. I love, love, love the idea of having a baby some day but we acknowledge that we're not ready. I would have kept the baby had this pregnancy continued on it's own, but to be honest, the miscarriage is sort of a relief.
That being said, I am an emotional WRECK. Intense emotions were already a big sign of pregnancy for me a week ago, but now they are INSANE. I feel like a child. I cannot get myself together. I feel like grief is just pouring out of my body, but I don't even feel sad.
I feel like my body is grieving, but my mind is at peace. I'll be in the car and something triggers the emotions and I just weep uncontrollably for a few minutes, the emotions pass and I feel okay until the next wave takes over.
I don't really know why I'm posting this. I guess just to explain how I feel, or maybe to seek encouragement and support. Maybe to hear your miscarriage stories and hear that these waves of emotion are normal. I don't know.
Thanks for reading, I hope your Sunday is a little more even-keeled than mine.
