Hi there, I have moved this topic to the miscarriage forum as there are some wonderful and supportive members who will understand what you are going through at the moment. I am very sorry this is happening to you and I hope you are surrounded by lots of love and support. Regards Chelli

I am so sorry you are going through this I just flaked on the couch all sad and sorry for myself. It had been a massive night and TBH I was still in a bit of shock I think (I had gone to the hospital with bleeding and they were just like "Yeah looks like you are losing the baby, go home and wait it out there is nothing we can do for you") Being naive I was just in shock that there was nothing they could do to try to stop it. Do you have a favourite place? Somewhere peaceful you can just zone out and try to get through it?

I would drink, eat and watch movies, as opposed to what I actually did which was hold a birthday party for a family member. I am sorry you are going through this,

I always found lying in bed watching something "safe" (movies or tv shows not involving anyone having a "whoops, I'm pregnant" crisis) to be the most comforting. Also phone games for when you need a mental distraction, I could never concentrate enough to read. Bed's the nicest physically too, especially when things get painful. Yummy food, cooked for you, and a massage too. And there's the crying too, of course. I'm sorry you're going through this, OP. It's not fair.

I actually went to work - I hadn't started bleeding yet and luckily my shift was only 5-9am and I didn't have to deal with anyone or customers so knew it was safe and used up my time. Then I had 3 days off, which I honestly did nothing but read books until most of it was over and then went back to work. I am sorry you have to go through this time, and its even worse when you have to wait around for it. May the physical side be quick for you.

We went out for breakfast. Trouble is, it was a nice place, but now I can never go back there again. Look after yourself. I'm sorry you're going through it.
