Why am I scared?
I didn't expect him, of all people, to ask me why I'm scared. Why am I acting 'like this' when I never acted this way when pregnant before. I asked him if he had been with me the last year during the death of our daughter and a miscarriage shortly thereafter. Of course he was...physically. I thought he'd be the only person I could talk to about this...and not have to explain the 'why'. The only person who I could cry to and he'd put his arms around me and tell me he loves me-and it'll be ok. I can't explain the 'why'. I shouldn't have to explain the 'why'. I'm so scared at what the doctor will say tomorrow. It seems whenever I see him, he's telling me my babies have no heartbeats. I don't want Kaitlynne there just in case that is what happens...she was there when they told me about Marissa-and I wish she hadn't been. I hadn't planned on going alone...don't want to go alone, but it's looking like I will be anyway. Showing any sort of emotion has gotten me in the doghouse again. I can't win. Try being terrorified and having an extra few surges of hormones running thru you. Doesn't matter. I had planned a birthday lunch just the two of us...and to go see the doc hand-in-hand. Looks like I needed a reality check-and I got one.

Hey!
You and I have chatted about this very topic before..pregnancy after loss. It is so hard.
As I have mentioned before you to, I have had two miscarriages and have spent pregnancies scared beyond comprehension!!!
I have three healthy children and two miscarriages and I was terrified and will be again with my next, if I have a next.
Don't fault Alex too much, for sometimes they don't understand and how can they fully when it's not their body, nor a sense of them failing, yadda yadda...it's different...he shouldn't have been callous to you, but maybe he is more worried then you realize and that is how he deals...ya know?
Best of luck to you!
I personally have not been thru that but I do understand why you are scared and upset. You do have a right to be. Men do not, cannot understand really. I had a scare with my last one so I know the feelings can exist.
If we were closer I would go with you and hold your hand. Really you shouldn't have to go alone. I will be preaying for you! HUGS!
