I thought I was ok...

[Kimberly]

After finding out last Saturday that our baby had no heartbeat, I had a D and C on Thursday. I thought I was feeling better after the surgery. I felt a sense of closure and was excited for the time when we could start trying again. We decided we wanted to buy some stuff for flat because we've lived here for about 8 months and haven't put up pictures or anything.

We went to Ikea and everywhere I looked there were pregnant women. I am not kidding... every third women I saw was pregnant or had a small baby with her. I'd been feeling fine, but I was so overwhelmed that I had to leave the store. I'm so sad..... just when I think I'm doing better, I break down crying. On the one hand I'm really excited about trying for another baby, but I feel like I will be devastated if it doesn't happen right away.

I thought a week off of work would be enough (I took last week off) but after my meltdown yesterday, I decided to take a few more days. I feel really bad, but my manager told me to take my time.

Thanks for reading this. I just needed to vent.

Im so sorry kimberly, it can take a while too feel your sefl again.
Give your body some time to adjust and let a cycle go and start again and everyone will support you

im sorry you are feeling like this hun, and even thought you may not want to hear it but it will all start to slow get a little easier.

Please dont push yourself going back to work or trying again, let your body have a rest (i can understand the need for you to want things to go back to normal). Take some more time off work you are grieving and we all have a right to do that.

Some days you feel that everything is ok then the tinest thing happens and your back down again, please just rest and look after yourself hun.

PM if you wanna chat at all
