When I got pregnant in February my biggest fear was miscarrying by myself during the pandemic. And that exact thing happened. My best friend did come over, now we’re a pod of sorts, being alone for the worst of it would have been impossible. I thought I knew what a miscarriage ..

Was but it was nothing like I’d heard it described. It’s so crazy the discrepancy between how it’s described and the experience. And the feeling that going to the ER would have put me at more risk made it way more terrifying.

Anyway I’m only writing about it here bc I feel like there should be more discussion about it? Also bc people have been so nice and offering baby things and I just want to be open about not needing that anymore.
