Rough weekend...

I have had the worst weekend. Friday we got a call from our doctor that my pregnancy has stopped. This is our first miscarriage and I am finding it extremely hard to deal with. A few hours after she called I started feeling really sick. I don't know if I just caught a bug or if it was from being upset. I have been awake for most of the weekend from feeling so nauseated and vomiting off and on through it all. Now I have massive spasms in my stomache and I have to go trick or treating with my daughter tonight. I have had peppermint tea and oatmeal for breakfast but so far my tummy hasn't felt any better. Anyone have any quick fixes?

First, let me offer my condolences to you and your husband. You are in my prayers.
You asked about a quick fix, and I'll just share something that has been helpful to me, in addition to peppermint tea. There is a product out there called phosphorated carbohydrate solution. There's a brand name that I can never recall, but a pharmacist can help. It's basically a strong sugar and is often generically packaged as "Anti-Nausea Liquid" and the like. I don't know WHY it works, but that in addition to peppermint tea and bananas often works wonders when I'm all cramped/spasmed up.
You will get through this difficult time. Hang in there!

I am so sorry you had to go through this. I am sending huge hugs and I hope you have people there rallying around you. Do you think you may be throwing up through stress / hormonal changes? Eat some dry toast and try and take some time out if possible to cry/talk/sleep - whatever you need and deserve....

Feel the fear and do it anyway!

Well the cramping seems to have calmed down. The three hours of trick-or-treating made my stomache swell some. It seemes with every step the lower part of my stomache felt heavier and wider. I think the reality of the miscarriage has just hit me this evening because I keep having sudden bursts of tears. My poor husband! Tomorrow I have to go for an ultrasound to see if the miscarriage was totally completed. I am not looking forward to that. I feel like it will be the roughest part and it makes it all seem more real. My husband wants to go in with me but I don't want to have him go through seeing the blank screen. I just want to wake up and find this is all just a bad dream.
