It’s weird. It doesn’t feel like one. When I tell people, I say I just had an ectopic pregnancy. I would say I’ve had one miscarriage and one ectopic, not two miscarriages.
It feels more like how I felt when I was diagnosed with the ANA and MTHFR. I am more stressed about whether and how this will effect my ability to have another child in the future than I am sad about the loss of this one.
Is it different because this really was just a collection of cells, whereas the last one had a beating heart, if only for a few weeks? I don’t know if it matters, but it’s just something I’ve been thinking about.
