Back and forth
miscarriage August 22nd, 2008My emotions, my motivation, my diet and my body keep going back and forth.
The miscarriage seems to be largely over, except my blood test was still elevated this week, meaning things aren’t back to normal yet.
My emotions seem largely under control, except when out of the blue I start to cry or just get very sad.
My motivation to exercise comes and goes, as I’ve mainly felt like swimming but my body isn’t always cooperating to allow that to be a good option.
Similarly, the diet. Huge cravings for fruit, veg and water, followed by cravings for starch and sugar.
In short, I think I’m doing pretty darn well considering what a hellish few weeks this has been, but it’s far too early and I’m far too fragile to beat myself up over slip-ups.

You’re doing great. Do what feels right and the rest will come. I had a 2nd trimester miscarriage a long time ago and I know how hard it is to get back to normal. But it’ll come, I promise.
