Health, Pregnancy, Family, Food and Gambling: Low key

Low key

Today, my family is placing bets on my being pregnant. I'm experiencing a very painful miscarriage and no one knows. I didn't want to eat a pre-made gas station salad when I visited for lunch and apparently the only explanation could be pregnancy, not that I didn't want to die from food poisoning. FML

Today, what I thought was food poisoning is actually a baby. FML

Today, in the gyno's waiting room, I was the only non-pregnant woman. One of the women made a remark saying, "Wow look at you, the only one not experiencing morning sickness, gas, and cramps" and laughed. Little did she know I just had my third miscarriage last week and would die to experience those things. FML

Today, after struggling with anorexia for months, I got food poisoning. FML

Today, I finally won an ongoing battle with my family to go to a restaurant I like, rather than a restaurant I hate with a passion. Now I'm throwing up, and my back is killing me. I'm the only one who got food poisoning. FML

Today, I rushed my wife to the ER because she was having abdominal pains. She was crying in the car and very faintly said, "If I die, our daughter goes to my sister and they get everything in my will." We later found out she was just having a bad gas problem. FML

Today, my parents brought home lunch from a shady grocery store deli. They mused about how hard I am to feed because I turned it down; the last time I ate anything from there, it gave me botulism, and it tastes horrible anyway. They both got sick. Now I'm playing nurse to both. No apologies yet. FML

Today, my morning sickness was so bad that I threw up everywhere, just from thinking about the pretend meal that a kid had made for me. FML

Today, I bumped into an old school friend. I'd heard she was pregnant so the first thing I did was congratulate her. Not only was she not pregnant, but the reason she managed to get so fat was because of comfort eating due to her miscarriage last month. FML

Today, suffering from severe morning sickness followed by cravings for salty food, I had stacked our fridge with yummy snacks. When finally emerging from our bathroom after retching this morning, I found out my husband had eaten all my snacks the night before. FML

I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope you have close people who you can share that information with and will give you all the support you need. There’s no shame in miscarrying, it happens to far more women than many realize. Take care of yourself.

Assuming the pregnancy was wanted, then I am sorry for the your loss. On the other hand - Your family was right about your having been pregnant even if they based it off the wrong observation, weren’t they?

I'm confused. In the middle of a painful miscarriage you're going out to lunch? Why?

It seems pretty clear OP was hiding her pregnancy from her family and hence was also hiding the miscarriage - Since to have a miscarriage she would have had to have been pregnant first. OP does not say if the pregnancy was desired or not.
