My miscarriage was 2 weeks ago (medicated) although I'd been given the news my levels failed to rise a week before that, and had spotting and bleeding a week up to being given the pills so I'm not really sure when it counts.
Anyway, it's been really traumatic for me, I was 7 weeks, unplanned pregnancy but I wanted the baby and just started to get my head around it when it all went wrong. I went to work during that week of bleeding and held some hope until my second scan confirmed miscarriage.
After having the second lot of pills I had a very painful day of bleeding and passed everything, contractions and all. The bleeding stopped after a couple of days and spotting continued for a while, but I think as I'd already had a week previous mild bleeding it was all done quickly after the meds.
During that time I also came down with some illness, coughing and thought I had covid as that was all really bad. I'm recovering.
I need to go back to work, but I can barely do anything at the moment, I'm managing about 45mins on my feet and then my whole body is tired and I feel awful and need to lay down. Is that normal?
I'll be honest, I'm really struggling, I feel numb and sad and it's an effort to get out of bed.... I've gone into work to check in, they need me back for the busiest time of year... but physically and emotionally I'm broken, no matter how hard I try my body just says no.
I don't know if it's normal, the miscarriage, the illness or if I'm just so depressed, everything is difficult. My friends and family don't even know I was pregnant, let alone miscarried and I can't bring myself to tell them.
