Post-miscarriage

I am still bleeding and cramping. I am surprised by how much pain and blood there still is. 

And moments hit unexpectedly. Like when you see a woman with a newborn at the grocery store. Or when you feel your abdomen still swollen.

I am glad to have been given today off work as well. Yesterday I was not able to process as I was preparing my master's assignment from 10am to 11:45pm. Today, M and I got to talk and cuddle and share some feelings about it all. And then nap. That's what we both needed.

I just can't imagine the pain of a miscarriage after the first trimester.
