a miscarriage and no support
as the title says, my husband and i suffered a miscarriage and have no support. we are both young (24&27) but we have been trying for a few months. i thought i was pregnant last month, weird symptoms and a late period by 3 days (it is never late) but every at home test was negative. then, i had the weirdest period of my life: extreme pain more than i’ve ever felt, and all of the blood was coming out in clots (not normal). i was not able to fill a whole tampon, also not normal. i got a blood test and it was confirmed to have been a severely early miscarriage. i told my mom, who i thought could help me understand what happened, but she instead berated my husband and i for not being able to afford a baby, which we can, we have been saving for a long time and i have previously worked in childcare. i am not coming here for more advice on what to do. i need to know that we are not alone in feeling broken and defeated at being told by doctors that you had a miscarriage, and i know it wasn’t that far along, 2-4 weeks, and with no positive test at home. i just don’t know where to go from here or what to do. i know my baby was roughly the size of a poppy seed, but couldn’t grow any bigger. i just need some comfort 🫶🏻
