One Year Ago today ....
My husband and I walked in to the hospital to be induced to miscarry... I was 12 weeks 2 days pregnant at the time. I had found out two days earlier that our baby had stopped growing and his or her little heart stopped beating about 2-3 weeks before that. I was given a choice since the baby wasn't coming on his/her own .... to wait it out or be induced. I chose the later ....They said it could be anytime or it could take weeks, and carrying the baby around for weeks wasn't emotionally an option for me ! So one year later and here we are ! Today was a much happier day ! In fact I had put it almost completely out of my mind until I sat down to write this post ...
I learned much after going through this loss :
~ Life is fragile and precious and can be over in the blink of an eye ~ even in the womb.
~ Miscarriage is a silent subject - not talked about - because others just don't understand your loss unless they've been through it themselves .
~ I will never take for granted getting pregnant and being able to stay pregant again ..
~ There was nothing I could or couldn't have done to prevent this from happening ...
Everything happens for a reason ...
One year later ~ Today was a happy day :)
