@justsuzie- I have been regularly been checking our rescue groups around us. I like to actually visit the puppies and see what they are like before I purchase. I'm hoping one of the leads emails me back.
Thanks ladies. It was very sad day for me. My mom, my aunt and my niece happened to be in town so that was nice and an added distraction. My mom was very comforting she has also had a loss so she totally understands. Different sadness for me than EDD.
Yes it was good they were here. MY DH had spent the day with a friend that was out of town. So today he asked if I had a good weekend and I said for the most part. He asked what was the bad. I'm like really do I need to remind you. He says well I know but I want to make sure it wasn't anything else. Really?! He just doesn't get it
sorry the DH doesn't get it@Mack2342 - men just don't get it sometimes. I use to cry a lot in the beginning and DH was always trying to come up with ways to fix it. I had to tell him to stop and just listen.
I had 5 friends (some close, some really acquaintances) give birth the week of my mc, then 2 the week after. One good friend was on the day my mc was confirmed. Three of them are in my local moms group that I see multiple times a week. None of them know about my mc, but it is going to be so hard to see them once they're back. One friend accidentally got pregnant with both her kids and complained about this second pregnancy the whole time. I was jealous her whole pregnancy because I wanted it so bad, then when I do get pg I have a mc. It's not fair.
I was at the dog park today and met a woman who was 39 who has repeated unexplained loss and ectopic history. We instantly bonded and were both all weepy and people were looking at us like we were cray cray. Anyhow she informed me of a great fertility clinic less than 30 minutes from my house if that becomes our next steps. We made plans to go get drinks and hope that neither of us can drink! The world really does put you in places where you are meant to meet certain people. There is nobody in my "real" life that has experienced my kind of losses so this was very refreshing.
@justsuzie That is so neat about meeting that woman! I love that, and I hope it brings you both a lot of support...having "real life" friends that understand is so awesome.

RPL people tend to bond easily over their losses when/if they start talking
about it! I’ve made several ‘instant’ friends over it. It’s really nice to have
these connections, although sad that we need to.

@Mack2342 I'm sorry about the sad day, but it's good that you had your family there this weekend. I had my D&C on a Friday and my mom and sister were in town visiting me that weekend, and it was really great to have them there as a distraction and support. Ironically, we were going to tell them that weekend that I was pregnant, but after the obvious turn of events, that didn't happen. All the thoughts and hugs coming your way!
