Do you have family close by?? I do understand the guilt part....But surely there is a part of you that knows or is willing to believe that just because you may have had a thought of not wanting the baby, it isn't why you lost it. When I lost mine, I felt it was a punishment for my sexual activity prior to marriage. I was extremely conservative, and had bounderies set that I crossed out of desiring to keep my (now ex husband) in my life. He wasn't wanting marriage, and I made compromises in order to stay involved. But eventually, after talking with other women, and researching alot of info. I began to heal. And then I was pregnant with my first born daughter....Scared to death I would lose this baby too...So I didn't want to jinx myself by getting excited. I forced myself to stay as unattached as possible until I passed the 16 week mark...That is when I lost my little boy. Then and only then did I allow myself to make plans, fantacize, hope...Dream....Imagine. And had I not lost my little boy, he was due in sept. I wouldn't have been pregnant with first born daughter.
Girl....Alllow yourself time to grieve. It is a loss, just be cautious and in control of who you talk with...In order to spare yourself the ignorant statements like I was exposed to. It will take some time, and most definately feel free to send your crying notes my way. Ok???
It has been a rough couple days for me. At times I feel so 'in control' and on top of my emotions regarding having this person I gave my heart to, destroy a part of me. Then I flip to totally losing it, once while in a store...Just going about my business, when a song came on that stabbed me!! I had to leave, had to run out....Couldn't find the doors quick enough!! I'm a strong woman, really tiny, but have an internal strength that even amazed me some time ago....But I tell ya what, this has really affected me more than I care to admit. And I don't want him to know it!! I don't want him to have the satisfaction of thinking he was 'all that'.
I wake in the middle of the night, whether from a nightmre, or just to get some water, and feel like I need to shake my head to figure out if all this is real....I'm sure many of you understand that. It is a bit comparable to grief when someone dies...The sting of reality, know what I mean???
I sure am glad to be able to talk about it, I have no family here, besides my ex husband, and beautiful girls. I grew up back east, and have been out here for 22 yrs!! Gosh, i'm old!!!
Is there much activity with this site??? Or pretty quiet??
Please continue to write, I enjoy hearing from you, and validate your feelings!!! Only someone who has experienced something we are dealing with can understand....Does the babys dad know what happened?? He is the one who stomped your heart correct???
R u on the east coast, or west?? I am on the west coast.
Til next time,
