So, as I sit and write this, I am watching South African comedian Trevor Noah to keep me from getting too emotional. The reason I have taken more time in between this blog post as the last is because the worst happened to us. On Sunday 4th August 2013 in the early hours of the morning, I miscarried my first child.
Too explain further, on the Saturday, me and T went to view a house (for the extra room we would need) and got the times mixed up so we decided to go stop at my dad's house for dinner. While we were there, I slowly started to cramp. I had cramps the previous night but when I rang up the hospital, they said that it is nothing to worry about and I should just take some paracetamol and get some rest. So anyway, back to the Saturday, I started getting cramps around 6ish and decided it would be better for me and T to come home so I can rest again.
Yet again, I rang the hospital to see what I should so since the cramps were getting sharper and sharper and were starting to make me cry! Their advice was the same as always, to take some pain killers and go to bed. I did this and manages to get about an hour of sleep until I woke up at around 1.30-2am to the feeling of ...
T.M.I. again ...
... my pad overflowing (I had still been spotting since my last post so I went to bed with a pad on) instantly I ran to the toilet to check it out. Nothing couple prepare me for what I was about to see. On the pad was not only a lot of blood but a sack with a long cord attached. T woke up at this point and came rushing into the bathroom after feeling the bed for me but only finding a patch of blood. We both completely freaked out and stood there for what felt like hours just staring, in silence. Eventually, we rang the hospital who told us to come in immediately and we would be seen straight away. They stuck to their word and although it being the early hours of a Sunday morning meaning a lot of people in with drunken accidents etc. we were sent to the front of the 'line' and seen straight away.
To cut a long story short, we were in the hospital for a while, got sent to the maternity unit for an internal examination where the news was confirmed that we had in fact lost the baby. So, for now, this blog is making a return back to wedding planning and possibly just my life in general.
