I guess I should start off by introducing myself! My name is Megan. I am twenty-six, married, and I have the cutest bulldog named Higgins. The picture is of me during our engagement picture session and is about two years old. Maybe I should remove it but I always like to put a name with a face. I called this site badthingshappentogoodpeople.com because I have thought throughout my life and especially after my miscarriage that bad thing happen to everyone.
So, this is my very first attempt at a blog and I am really confused! Please bear with me. My motives for this site were to help other people realize they are not alone in their situation and to help me realize that I am not alone either. The first thing I want to post is something I typed the other day before I really thought about even doing a blog. Feel free to contact me and I would appreciate any feedback or advice (as long as it is constructive and nice) on how to even do a blog and what you feel about what I have to say.
Wow, this is super confusing but hopefully it will get better as I go! Please be sure to click on the blog page at the top. I wish it was on the first page but I really am not exaggerating when I say I have no idea what I am doing.
I guess I could explain a little about myself and why I decided to create a website when I clearly have no idea what I am doing.
I am 26 years old and I have been through a lot. This site started as a place to vent about my miscarriage but I realize now that it is about much more, too. I have been through so much. I have had a knee surgery, three back surgeries including a spinal fusion, and two deadly infectious diseases. I have taken a lot of steps to make sure having a child was even a possibility for me. I have had to stop taking the medicines I need to not be in pain and accept that carrying a baby will be extremely difficult for me.
I will probably have to go on bed rest at six months and can't have an epidural due to all my scar tissue along my spine. None of that matters to me because being a mother is my dream. I don't care how hard the road is when there will be a beautiful baby that is a part of me and my husband. I don't think there is any miracle that is greater.
I don't work right now because it puts me in too much pain and so I guess that leaves me time to stress about money and make a blog! I feel so isolate with my miscarriage and I just want to know I am not alone.
Family has told me to "suck it up" and "move on." Apparently, I should be happy I can just get pregnant right? I hate that. I also hate when people say that it was meant to be and that something was probably wrong with the baby and while that is probably true, it is not what I want to hear. I don't want the woman with four children advising me on how to move on. I want the women who have been through it and know the agonizing grief that comes along with a miscarriage.
My family has not been very supportive of my pregnancy or my miscarriage because they do not like my husband. The day they told me for sure I would have to have a d&c my mom asked my doctor if she could put an IUD in during the procedure and then informed me that she would not support me if I ever conceived with my husband again. Needless to say, it has been a tough road.
I hopefully will learn more about how to create this website and blog and be able to modify how everything works and tell more about myself. I would love to hear from others how they cope and their advice. There is so much to explain and put on here and this is my first day and first time so hopefully at least one person will read this and come along for the ride.
Thank you for reading about my story even though it might not be the best or most well-done blog.
