I went to my midwife for my first prenatal appointment 1/3 and found out that my baby did not have a heartbeat. I was told that the baby stopped developing around 7 weeks. My midwife suggested that I wait to see if I naturally miscarried, but I didn't, and took misoprostol 1/14 to cause the miscarriage. Although physically I feel ok I am really depressed. I don't want to leave the house, I have disengaged from my family, friends and work. I am going to try to go in to work tomorrow, but I am dreading it. I am a teacher and need to present myself as a strong adult, but that's hard to do when all I feel like doing is crying. I feel like because so many women go through this and since I was only 7 weeks when the baby died I shouldn't be as deeply affected by this? I have a beautiful healthy 2 year old daughter and need to be strong for her. I have not had multiple miscarriages or anything, but I am scared to death that this will happen again. Does anyone have any suggestions?
