I was told last Monday that my pregnancy was actually a blighted ovum. I was devastated when I found out and was crying but not hysterical. I felt like my doctor, and my husband no less, were treating me like I was a candidate for an asylum. And I know the doctor "has" to take that position but I did not appreciate it just the same. Physically I am ok except for some cramping, but emotionally I feel empty. I am so tired of people telling me, "Oh you can just try again." You would think that I lost a softball game. Is it really that easy to just try again? Is that all there is to it? So now I should just move on? I have been told everthing from "It's good that it happened early" ( I was 8 1/2 weeks) to "At least you'll be rested when you come back to work." As if I've been on vacation instead of mornng the loss of my baby. I am 34 years old and my husband and I were trying very hard to have a baby. I feel like I waited to late and now I'm being punished. My husband has managed to go on with life as usual, but I have to go back to work on Tuesday and honestly I don't know how I'm going to do it. I feel sad, and lost. When do you go back to feeling normal? I just want to lay in bed all day and cry without being made to feel like I should have gotten over it by now.
