Hi I share what you are going through as I have also experienced an early loss in the last week. I would have been 6 weeks pregnant and began spotting and then bleeding. After a week the bleeding has stopped and the process of miscarriage ended. My doctor was very good explaining it is natures way and that years ago the pregnancy tests would not have been around to confirm it so early, therefore you would just get a period and not know it was a miscarriage. I didn't think it would affect me so much but like you I have been tired and just wanting to sleep every day. I guess it is best to listen to the body and rest to give it the recovery time. The hardest thing is that when you have had one normal pregnancy and experience the results of it the next time you want to sing your pregnancy from the rafters not expecting anything to happen (glad I didn't) and you arent so scared, so you let yourself feel excited about the pregnancy earlier. I bought maternity clothes because I was a totally different season to the last time and I needed a new pair of jeans so I bought some nice maternity ones on sale and took them in to save spending on a pair that wouldnt get worn long. It seems that it is almost not the baby that you mourn but the loss of all the hopes and dreams you had for it and for the closeness to the 1st baby which is hard when they say you have to wait 2 periods before trying again. On the otherhand I feel positive that I can enjoy the many things you cant enjoy being pregnant for a little longer and spend such valuable time with my first daughter as she is only going to be little once and they do miss out on a lot when the next sibling comes along. Thinking of you and wishing you all the best for trying again. I am sure you will have a beautiful baby on the way before you know it and in the meantime enjoy some special nights out with your partner as it's a whole new world when there are 3!
