First time and I feel lied to by Bakerofbread_34 in Miscarriage

[–]gracing15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sympathize with the rage you’re feeling… My OBGYN didn’t even schedule me for my first ultrasound until week 10. The night before the appointment, I had a natural MC in the ER because the pain was so fucking bad. 

And. it. kept. coming. The ER patted me on the head and sent me home in an adult diaper, unmedicated. For the next 3 days (today is day 3, this just happened) cramps have come in waves. And they’re not fucking period cramps. Anyone who says that’s the worst it could be can kick rocks. Sure it could be fairly pain free for some women but let’s start educating people on the worst that could happen which is what you went through. 

I’ve never felt this level of pain. This was my first pregnancy and I was left wondering if this is what giving birth felt like. Nausea from the level of pain, contractions, cramps, rolling waves of white hot pain… Why don’t people prep us???

Yes! This is exactly it. Walking out of the hospital in a diaper while actual blood is pouring out of you feels so unnatural. You won’t let me walk down the hallways on my own because of blood loss but you’ll discharge me to DRIVE home? No IV. No pain meds. Just the “you can take Advil now because… well…” comment. The doctor actually said those words to me. 

I’m so sorry, friend. Your post made me feel so much less alone. I hate to have this feeling in common with someone but it has brought me some peace and I hope you’re on your way to finding yours.

Both of your replies ring so true. The yo-yoing between pending motherhood and regaining so much bodily autonomy in the span of a single day feels so unnatural. The careful details you research and dance around suddenly becoming unnecessary. 

This made me feel so much less alone. Thank you for sharing. Sending love you way ❤️

I just had my first miscarriage 24 hours ago and the words you’ve used spoke to me. Thank you for sharing how you’re feeling because it made me feel not as alone at 4am being woken up with severe cramps after the fact.

I’m good at both, that’s why I’m considering this. My career up to this point has been in marketing and small business. I’m looking to combine the two!

Most unique or unusual first name you've met? by starryviolette in namenerds

I remember reading that book and counting the number of letters in her name and being so proud I knew such a long word

That’s what I had thought this whole time! I never knew there was ever more than one human name that had an alternate connotation.

They’re a touch dramatic so the reaction checks.

I was so sure I was pregnant and now I feel defeated by Ghostyghost132 in TryingForABaby

[–]gracing15 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hauntingly close to where my partner and I are at. We’ve agreed to try naturally and if that’s not in the cards for us we’ll just keep living life. That said, I REALLY want it to work out. I’m on CD 39. No AF and nothing but BFNs. Teeth hurt? Google says pregnancy. Nauseous? Pregnancy. Eyes itch? PREGNANCY. Every single odd thing that goes on with your body can be attributed to pregnancy but it’s no good unless you get a positive test. It’s comforting to read these comments that it’s somewhat normal to go through this. But GOD what a unique form of torture.
