DH has been home with me since I went to the ER on Wednesday evening for my ectopic pregnancy. My boss told me to stay home until my Dr. appt. on Tuesday just to make sure I get the "all clear" to come back. While I'm happy that they are being understanding of my situation, I'm not really looking forward to being by myself. When DH is home, he's usually good about distracting me or just holding me while I cry. I'm really thinking about seeing if any of my SAHM friends would want to come over to keep me company.
I feel like such a crybaby....

Things I did different with this pregnancy:
1. Waited TTC until after I had 3 normal menstrual cycles.
2. Got a new OB - amazing man who listened!
3. 200 mg progesterone until 12 weeks
4. Daily lovenox injections
You are absolutely not a cry baby! You have experienced a terrible loss, and if needing someone there helps you through the process, then you deserve someone to be there!
I miscarried on a Saturday and the first full day spent alone was maybe on a Wednesday or Thursday. There were a few hours spent alone before, but a day alone right off the bat would have crushed me.
You deserve to have someone with you to hold!
I am so sorry for your loss!

~*~*Everyone Welcome*~*~
I agree - you are not crybaby. I fluctuate between wanting to be alone with my thoughts, tears, & feelings, and wanting to have anyone & everyone nearby to distract me, hold me, & share my tears, etc.
I've learned that when I reach out to get support, it's there. I hope you follow your heart & reach out to your friends. I know they'll be glad you did!
This exactly. You are absolutely NOT a crybaby. It's been a month since my ectopic and I still have a hard time being all alone. The healing process is different for everyone, but for me it's been very slow. Take care of yourself and don't be patient with your progress.
