I don't know how to start this post, so I'm just going to jump right in.
I had a miscarriage. I was 12 weeks on Tuesday, but the baby stopped developing long before that. At my 10 week Dr's appt they couldn't find a heartbeat. Neither of us were too worried about it but as time went on I knew something was wrong. My Dr thought I was more like 8 weeks after doing an exam. And an ultrasound yesterday showed that I am miscarrying.
This one is happening completely different from my first miscarriage (4 years ago). The Dr doesn't think I'll need a D&C though, which I am very thankful for. (and actually I didn't need one with my first miscarriage either. Again, thankful)
I don't know how to say the rest of this without sounding rude and heartless, but I want to say it because it will help me.
Please don't let out a deep sigh, cock your head to the side and tell me how sorry you are. It makes my blood boil. I don't need or want pitty. I understand that in times like this people feel the need to say something and often don't know what to say. It's ok. I don't need you to say anything. Honestly I don't want to talk about it. Roger and I talk about it and that is enough for me. I want to heal (both physically and emotionally) and move forward.
Really, I don't mean to sound rude. Just letting you know how I feel about it.
Thanks for being excited with us over this pregnancy. We were excited too. And although this pregnancy was a surprise, we will be trying again when the time is right. Joseph won't have it any other way. :)

Just wanted to break the no comments barrier on this post by saying that you don't sound rude and what you're saying about pity makes sense. And that's all I have to say.
