* tw miscarriage * * * * * * I am having a miscarriage. I know that I am but my brain won't accept it. I didn't even know I was pregnant. I just got what I thought was a really intense and very unusual period. I called my doctor and they said it was nothing and if I'm really concerned to take a test and let them know. I will not be doing that I don't feel comfortable going back there when they dismissed my concerns about how abnormal everything felt. So I got home and I wasn't even going to take a test but I did and it is positive. How do I do this. How do I tell my partner? I know I need to but I don't want to. I know that is selfish but I don't think I have the strength. It doesn't feel right to grieve for something that was already gone before I even knew. I am so confused and numb.

      I am so sorry you are going through this You go at your own pace. Be gentle with yourself. No judgement :) Do you think perhaps that your partner might look after you if you told him? Perhaps some extra support and understanding would help *hugs*

        @Electric.Sheep I know he would he is incredible at the best and the worst of times but I can't help but think I'd be hurting him by telling him. I know not telling him would hurt just as much but I don't know how to find the words. Plus we are long distance and he's starting a new military job in less than a month; he has so much to do and this would just be so much of a weight on him because he feels things so deeply but pushes it all down. I will tell him. I know I will but i don't think I can until I've made sense of it myself.

      tell your partner on your own time. you have every right to grieve. light a candle in the meantime, i think it helps.
