I am pretty sure I am having a miscarriage. What began as brown spotting and light cramping this morning has turned into a heavier, bright red clotty-flow with heavy cramping by this evening.
I'm really at an OK place with it; I've been thinking about it all day, and I see it as a part of the cycle of being alive, as natural as is giving birth or growing old. So I am thankful for the four weeks that I was pregnant. I spent a lot of time revisiting the circumstances of my first birth during this time, and to me that was an invaluable opportunity to reflect on my younger birthing-self with compassion and love and healing.
So I send along all my happy happy baby thoughts and sticky sticky vibes to all of you mamas, as well as thanks for the support you offered me while I was here.
