Hi Brockstar
I wanted to send big hugs . Unfortunately I am in a similar position - I just had a D&C on Wednesday. I should have been 11wks, but instead after having seen the heartbeat at 7.5wks my little angel didn't make it much past that. I couldn't believe it as I really thought this one would stick. Only in hindsight did I remember some signs that indicated that things weren't right.
Anyway, I digress, the things I learnt about me and those around me after my first miscarriage
* DH does not grieve the same way as me - we had some awful fights about that, I just didn't get it. He just wanted to 'fix' my sadness. (This time I am worried about him - it is hitting him harder especially since he saw the heartbeat.)
* People say some damn insensitive things, my online friends have been far more supportive - even sometimes more supportive than my mother who also had a m/c
* I have to be gentle on myself - I went through all sorts of emotions. From wanting to TTC straight away, to never wanting to try again and to being angry at everyone including myself.
* I needed to find something 'to do', so I started learning classical guitar. I am now working on a cross stitch as a symbolic piece to remember my angels.
It's a difficult journey, I am sorry that you have to go through this.
