Intro: Going through my first MC

Hi. Newbie to the board here. My husband and I found out we were pregnant for the first time at the end of August and we were so happy about it. We told my family and some close friends, and all were very excited for us. Around what I thought was week 6, I noticed a little bit of bright red blood after I used the bathroom one afternoon, which upset me, but the doctor assured me that can happen and that I was probably fine. It stopped the next day and I thought I was OK. When I thought I was 8 weeks along, we went to our first ultrasound and the tech quickly discovered that not only was I behind (about 6.5 weeks), but there was no heartbeat. They told me I'd likely had a missed miscarriage. We were devastated and given our options. After getting a blood test to confirm the worst, I chose to have a D & C the following week (Sept. 30).
While my body seems to have mostly healed, I have been so sad and felt so lost. I feel like I've been in an emotional haze the past month. It's just been so hard. I also feel like I can't stop running into pregnant women, and my best friend (who I see all the time) just told me she's 10 weeks pregnant last Friday. She was very kind about it and I'm happy for her, but I know it's still going to be very hard to watch her go through her pregnancy knowing we could have been going through it together.

"Everybody here has got a story to tell. Everybody's been through their own hell. There's nothing too special about getting hurt, but getting over it that takes the work. Because one way or another, we all need each other. Nothing's going to turn out the way you thought it would. Friends and lovers, don't you duck and cover because everything comes out the way it should in the end." -Glen Phillips, "Duck and Cover"

I am right there with you in that one of my closest friends is about 10 weeks pregnant as well. Before I miscarried we were super excited to be pregnant together. I know I am going to be doing a lot of "that should have been me too" thinking.
So sorry you have to be here.
