This is an awful thing to say when someone is grieving.
The blood surprised me. I’d gone to the bathroom thinking about having tacos for dinner and tackling a looming freelance deadline. In true working-mom style, it was the first moment I’d been able to steal away in hours. After a long day at the office, I’d picked up my 2-year-old son, Ezra, from daycare, then did the usual dance of chores and playtime before my husband, Jared, got home. It was a completely normal night—until I saw the blood.
The morning after I started bleeding, I arrived at the clinic, already wondering if I’d done something to cause this.The bleeding hadn’t intensified, but it hadn’t gone away either. I mostly felt like I had a regular period with the usual PMS symptoms, like bloating, fatigue, and a short temper, plus a side of disappointment, numbness, and fear. My mind wouldn’t stop fretting.
Losing a baby so early made me feel lonely as hell. I’d never heard a miscarriage story like mine.I spent the rest of that week waiting for the bleeding to stop and not doing much else. I didn’t need a D&C procedure to surgically empty my uterus, thank goodness, so I focused on the bare minimum: work, eat, sleep, repeat. However, when the fog of grief lifted momentarily, I realized I wanted to share my story.
It’s also possible someone might not share the story of their early pregnancy loss because they’re worried that they somehow did something to cause it, just like I was. Unfortunately, this concern isn’t uncommon, says Dr. Mitzner, who has supported expecting moms who have miscarried in the past. But the reality is that almost half of all early pregnancy losses happen due to genetic or chromosomal abnormalities in the embryo.
