Oh god the compulsion to check your knickers. Remember that so well! i had 2 miscarriages before I had my son. Every trip to the loo when pregnant with my son was full of dread
Exactly. And being pregnant everything is ‘wetter’ down there anyway so it feels like you are bleeding sometimes.
Also, the first 12 weeks can actually be quite painful and crampy and uncomfortable. Mainly due to your body adjusting to pg and the ligaments beginning to stretch etc.
If you were pg and had a shooting pain YOU WOULD NOT CONTINUE TO HOLD A TODDLER. You’d immediately put them down safely and call for help if it was that painful. There is just no way she took that moment to sing to her firstborn as she thought her second-born-to-be died. Utter
bleeping bullshit. That toddler would be on the floor it in the cot and you’d be checking for blood.
Furthermore, if you are in that much pain, singing would not be possible. You’d be breathing erratically and gasping.
I don’t believe her. Whomever said that it sounded like what a teenager thinks miscarriage would be like, is completely right.
It sounds like a passage from a terrible novel.
No mention of her milk coming in
No mention of how grim the next period is
No mention of the reality of actually passing the uterine contents. She wanted it to be shocking and tragic yet it doesn’t sound as though she even approaches the gritty miserable
tit of miscarriage and all the changes that happen. The mood swings due to falling hormones. The
crappy process of telling everyone and their sad pitying faces when you just feel angry and don’t want to talk about it.
I don’t believe her.
