So here I am.
I found out today after a torturous and agonising 2 week wait for a repeat scan that my baby stopped growing at around 6-7 weeks.
I had resigned myself to thinking this anyway to be honest. They didn't seem very hopeful at my first scan.
This was my first pregnancy and was unplanned. I have therefore experienced shock, devastation, worry, happiness, excitement and devatstation (in that order) over the last few months. This is most definiely a rollercoaster I do not want to experience again.
My husband is being really great about everything, though I know he is devastated himself.
What I am feeling anxious about is telling everyone, we had told a few people about the pregnancy straight away (which is a mistake I will not be repeating). I don't want people to feel sorry for me or have their pity. I just want to get my 'old self' back as quickly as possible.
This is being hampered by my desire to let things happen naturally though, I am rather disappointed that my body is yet to do the right thing and expel what it needs to. I may well ending up having some sort of medical intervention because I'm just not sure I can cope waiting for a long time for it to happen.
Thanks for reading
