I am so sorry for your loss. I'm amazed and flattered that you're still reading my blog, even though I imagine that it's painful for you. Take care, take time off, and rest. Let me know if there's anything I can do.aylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00242806049605376652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16291879.post-88258443320190414912007-04-23T09:58:00.000-04:002007-04-23T09:58:00.000-04:00I totally know what you mean about bodies not cons...I totally know what you mean about bodies not consulting us about important stuff.

Wasn't pregnant, doctors really didn't offer anything except something to make me start again. The drug (I forget what it was but it is part of what makes up the abortion pill) made me start fairly studdenly and I found myself standing in the shower at my dorm wondering how so much blood could be there. But then it stopped suddenly and things were normal. Our bodies are so weird. They just decide to do things, they don't consult us or even tell us. It's just rude really. Ok sorry, sleepy silly and rambling.

(Nobody heeds the warnings, nobody!)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the kind thoughts, though. Honestly, I'm doing pretty well. Writing everything out is really theraputic, and getting it out of my head and into words frees me up a lot.Marahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12520136607608312414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16291879.post-43146394375551018522007-04-22T02:15:00.000-04:002007-04-22T02:15:00.000-04:00Mara,I hardly know how to respond to this.

I don't know where on Mothering I could put it except on the miscarriage forum, where there is plenty of the same already...maybe I'll post it there anyways.<BR/><BR/>I hope you and your husband have lots of luck with getting (and staying) pregnant!Marahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12520136607608312414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16291879.post-61682238294741627942007-04-21T17:30:00.000-04:002007-04-21T17:30:00.000-04:00Hi Mara.

I think it's important for women to share the happy stories as well as the difficult ones. You might consider publishing it in Mothering.<BR/><BR/>My husband and I just started TTC this cycle, and if/when I face a miscarriage, I know I'll be so much better off for having heard your story and not just a nurse's "like a period, only worse."<BR/><BR/>Hope you're doing well and getting some rest. {{hugs}}Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16291879.post-58343061509441382912007-04-21T14:21:00.000-04:002007-04-21T14:21:00.000-04:00Well, I've got the weekend off.

Hindsight, ya know.<BR/><BR/>Don and I are taking two full weeks off in late May and taking a vacation. So I've kind of got that as what I'm holding out for... being away from work for half-a-month is really what we both need. <BR/><BR/>And, I only work a 35-hour week now, so I have all my evenings free and almost all weekends. It isn't hard right now to get lots of rest, lots of time to myself. Work is actually providing a nice distraction, a balance, so that I don't spend *too* much time just wrapped up in myself.Marahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12520136607608312414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16291879.post-47624384843286563432007-04-21T14:08:00.000-04:002007-04-21T14:08:00.000-04:00I think it would be hard to gross out any female w...I think it would be hard to gross out any female who is familiar with how her body works on a monthly basis...men, ya...probably. :)<BR/><BR/>Oh Mara. Are you going to take any time off? even a day or two? I have an aunt who tried to get pregnant for years, and when her and her husband finally conceived, she miscarried and tried to continue working. She was a flight attendant who hadn't missed a day of work in 15 years. They sent her home and told her she needed to keep her strength and spend some time at home. She's 48 now and has a three year old son named Jordan. :)<BR/><BR/>(yes, there is a point here!)<BR/>I've just read, I believe, the testament of a very healthy uterus that will indeed bear you lots of little ones. How else could it be so efficient? <BR/><BR/>Please, please, take some rest and spend a little time loving yourself. Your body needs all the energy it can get if it's got you for a partner! ;)Bellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02134723507215371742noreply@blogger.com
