Feeling Pissed Off

Frances

I lost my pregnancy at 11 weeks when I learned I had a missed miscarriage—baby stopped growing at 8 weeks. It’s been two months since my D&C and I am feeling so angry still. Today has brought up lots of bad feelings because I should have been 20 weeks today. For whatever reason I was so looking forward to this particular milestone after I found out I was pregnant. And instead of celebrating the halfway point of my pregnancy, I am fighting with insurance to cover tests that my doctor recommended and dealing with my period, and trying to be patient as my husband isn’t as ready as I am to start trying again… and I’m just mad about the whole situation. This is loss #2 for us, no living children, and we’ve been trying for almost two years. Some people have it so much worse and my heart breaks for everyone who has experienced this pain and more. Trying to start your family, or grow your family, should not be such a difficult journey, it should be a fun and positive experience. I just feel cheated of everything I had hoped this would be 😞
