My Miscarriage Weekend

A few posts back, I mentioned about how I was going through another miscarriage. Well, since that post, nothing has actually processed. I’m still pregnant, with a fetus that isn’t growing. Until Monday.

The Fetus quit growing at 8w1d. My body will not process this miscarriage.

See, on Monday, If nothing happens naturally, they have given me a pill to take, to flush my system, since my body is slow to get the signal to process the miscarriage, and I really do not want surgery. However. On Friday, I started spotting, and its gradually gotten heavier intermittently over the weekend. Apparently, my body processes these things extremely slowly.

Heres just a small rundown of how I felt throughout the process.

Friday

Overall I felt normal, with the spotting starting Friday Afternoon.

Saturday

Saturday I woke up with some cramping, and the bleeding being a bit heavier, so I thought for sure that day was THE day. But by noon the spotting and cramps had completely stopped.

Sunday

Sunday I woke up with a bit more consistent bleeding, but still no cramping or really anything else. I made plans with my aunt to have breakfast with them before they head back to Humboldt county. I figured it would be good to have a nice filling breakfast in my stomach to help give me the strength and energy get me through the process.

Misoprostol, also known as the abortion pill. Although in my case I’m just forcing my body to process my miscarriage.

Monday

Monday I woke up with no cramping or spotting. IT all literally just stopped. It makes me feel a little bit better as I was having anxiety thinking about going to a restaurant with active miscarriage bleeding.

Meds were taken at 10:30. I made sure my husband was aware of the time I took the medication, as well as the time in which I would need to take more medication.

It took about 2-3 hours for it to fully kick in, and by 1:30 the cramps were getting very intense. I was able to play a game on our xbox for a while but ultimately, I wound up just laying around, relaxing with a heating pad. Eventually, by around 6:30, the cramps had died down and I had passed what looked to be everything.

Today is Tuesday now, and O still have some cramping, but they overall tolerable. I still plan on taking it easy today, but I’m very thankful the hardest part is finally over.

Goodbye my baby.
