I had my D&C yesterday, and while I'm feeling fine physically and so relieved that the worst is over (I've known I miscarried for over a week and a half), I didn't think packing up my maternity clothes would be so hard. I got my "bloat bump" about 2 weeks ago and I love how I felt and looked in my maternity clothes. Its just the final straw emotionally. No one tells you how hard this is. I know it was a blighted ovum and so it was technically not a baby, but as a mom, I fell in love with it from the moment I knew it was coming. And this is even harder because we'd been trying to get pregnant for a year and a half. My first miscarriage was so much easier because I didn't know I'd been pregnant til after it happened. This just sucks.

My PGAL brain didn't allow me to buy any clothes (short story-last full term preg was 10 years ago so my stuff is long gone, had m/c in may lived in sweats and yoga pants) but with the cooler weather this months, a sweet friend gave me a few things. I have them folded up on the dresser-gonna ask her if she wants them back or what. I don't think she does but I kinda don't want to see them. But I want to use them again. So I don't know.
