I had a natural miscarriage 10 days ago. It didn't hit me emotionally that much (although I did have a good cry over it) but physically it did although I am just trying to power through it. Two days after it happened I travelled for a one day meeting to Europe and back within a day. I now feel very tired and have pains in my lower abdomen + headaches and still bleeding. I have a very active toddler and I work full time so that means by the evening I feel exhausted. My DH is extremely busy at work and also takes care of our kid equally as me so can't complain there but because of this he barely remembers to ask how I am physically and just sort of expects me to recover (btw I'm still waiting for another scan and possible D&C in two days time). I don't feel like I can talk to anyone about how I am and I guess I just need someone to feel for me a little. I haven't told any of my friends about the pregnancy and my close family also don't ask much. Brothers think it just happens and then it's over, and my mum asks but then starts talking about her aches and pains...I could tell my two friends who know we were trying for a baby (and so are they) but they work at the same place as me and are not very discreet so can't be sure they won't mention something to someone...I don't want other people at work to know because I am hoping for promotion soon and may never get pregnant again (I'm 41). Anyway, just need a little pat on the back I guess...thanks. I am myself surprised how tired and out of sorts I am.
