First comes Love then comes... Miscarriage...Wait! What?!

I'm a part of the wrong club. Lumped into a common but largely unknown statistic. I never thought it would happen to me, but then again in the back of my mind something felt..."off".

The First 48....

Disclaimer and Objective : I began writing to contribute to the limited narrative that I was able to find online during my miscarriage. I found comfort in every blog, message board and YouTube video I watched of other courageous women sharing both their pain and their strength. I am not a professional writer. I am not a medical professional. I am not representing every woman's experience. But I AM saying that all of your experiences helped me through every tear that I cried and every prayer that I prayed. Miscarriage can feel like an island of isolation. I thank you for showing me that I was not alone. And neither are you. Big hugs and love to you all. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The First 48 hours still feel like a bad dream to me. I cannot sugar coat for you what it was like emotionally, physically or mentally. This time last month I was concerned, but I was still pregnant. In 3 days it will mark one full month since I began miscarrying.
