It’s almost three years since my first miscarriage. This post has been sitting in my drafts folder for almost a year waiting for a video link. So I’m sharing it; because it’s written, and because I always intended to share it. For some reason I just haven’t got round to it until now.
When I established Tall Mum In Manchester I wanted to be honest about my miscarriages. I’m not looking for sympathy. I simply want to tell our story and hope that it will encourage others to talk more openly about miscarriage. But, being open on the internet also means telling people much closer to us – and that seems so much harder.
I wrote the first draft of this post 13 weeks ago. It’s taken me all this time to build up the courage to share it but, with Pea’s due date imminent, it’s now or never.
