How to mourn

This was my rainbow baby, so I thought..I've been trying for 12 y. My husband and I struggle a lot with unexplained infertility. I was in depression in 2017. We got separated in 2020 but was still seeing each other from time to time and suddenly I got pregnant naturally. However, it ended up in an ectopic pregnancy and it was misdiagnosed so I end up having surgery and lost my baby and missing a tube. The docs said it was impossible for me to get pregnant. It was very hard to hear and to take in... I wanted kids genetically of my own but if I couldn't I had no choice but to turn to the next step. So I found an egg donor in another country and was ready to go do the intervention when 2w before leaving I got pregnant! This was my miracle! We had an ultrasound at 6w and 8w with heartbeat. I thought we were safe.... So I am 11w and was spotting and called the nurse of my hospital, and she said it was normal and to stay home. I didn't feel it was right, so I still went in, and they didn't find the heartbeat, and the baby measured 8w only. I saw the OB last week, and on his portable echo, he said the baby was moving... I don't know what happened in a week. I cried so much and I couldn't process it. The doctor was very cold and just gave me a prescription and sent me home. When I went to the pharmacy, the pharmacist said out loud so youre having an abortion! So unprofessional! I am already hurt that I lost my baby and she assume things like that! So I took the pills and last night was the most horrible night physically and mentally 🥺 I saw my baby come out ... I will always remember him...I don't know how to deal with this or to mourn this time. I lost my first in an ectopic so I didn't get to see the baby grow and see the heartbeat and move and be so cute. I feel I could've done things differently. The nurses were nice and said its not my fault but I can't help it. How did you all mourn your loss?

Hey listen. I just want to say I am so sorry for what you went through. Some people have no empathy at all. Second. Please don’t ever blame yourself. This is not in your hands or control. It just happens and it’s the most horrific thing a mother can go through. You’re still a mom. And idk if you’re from the states but today is Mother’s Day. And I want to wish you a happy Mother’s Day 🩷 I lost my sweet baby at last week at ten weeks but stopped growing at six. I’ve been mourning by looking for signs which is strawberries for me. I got a necklace to honor it. And some memorial stuff. And made a box with all the memories I have like the positive pregnancy tests and scan pics. Don’t give up. Get ur baby one way or another. 🩷🩷

It was so hard to see all those Mother's day wish cause in my head I told myself well I'm not a mom anymore. Thanks for your support and thanks for the tips on how to remember my baby. I will do a box as well.
