Things They Never Tell a Pregnant Woman After Her First Pregnancy Ended in a Miscarriage
Things they never tell a pregnant woman after her first pregnancy ended in a miscarriage:
That the thought of taking another pregnancy test in your whole entire life will scare you.
That you will spend all of your days and nights researching every little ache and pain to make sure it's normal.
That as soon as you see that heart beat you will cry in relief but stay worried.
That sometimes you will be so worried about what could happen you forget to enjoy what is happening.
That you'll see babies everywhere, and you'll pray to yourself that you make it that far.
That you will still wonder about who your child that you lost would have become.
That your gender reveal will feel like the biggest milestone in your life because you were afraid you would never make it that far.
That it's ok to still be a little broken.
That every doctors appointment will give you so much anxiety that it will keep you up for a few nights, because you're so worried that the heart beat will be gone.
That you will look up the rates of a miscarriage through your whole first trimester.
That it's okay to mourn what you lost, and love what you gained.
I know that fear and worry are hard demons to live with, and to fight, but you can't let them take the joy out of every moment that this child is still on this earth.
That even the people closest to you will never understand your hurt.
That no matter what happens your life will never be the same.
That no matter how many people tell you that you will get over it, you will never get over it.
That you may feel all messed up inside, but you will do everything not to show it.
