Not feeling up to doing much today

[puppetmaker]

This is hard for me to write so here are the basics of what happened.

Last night I went to see my Ob/Gyn because I have some problems with my period that were starting to get downright scary. They did an exam and informed me that since I was soaking through about a pad an hour and what they saw on the internal exam, I need to go to the emergency room immediately.

Bottom line is that I had a miscarriage for a pregnancy that I didn't even know I was carrying.

I went to see my doctor again today and my body is recovering from the internal trauma. He gave me advice and a laundry list of things to look out for and things that might happen that would be OK. He is the doctor that delivered Caroline over 4 years ago so we showed him a picture of the little girl she has become.

So physically I am OK. Emotionally I am a bit confused as to how I am feeling since I didn't even know that I was carrying. I have been told to take it easy for a couple of days and give my body sometime to heal. Peter has been very supportive, as have the kids.

I am grateful for everyone who helped me last night and today.

Aw, Kath, I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm just now catching up on LJ and just read your story. My SIL had four or five miscarriages, and it was just never talked about. Be gentle with yourself and take it easy.
