Trigger Warning: Miscarriage, pregnancy loss, pregnancy complications
As I mentioned a few months ago, I had some significant complications with my pregnancy. In my tenth week, I had substantial bleeding – enough to go to the emergency room.

(This essay was originally written over a month ago, so we now know that the true resolution was actually wonderful.)
At the ten-week mark in my pregnancy, I was lying on the living room couch, still recovering from putting my toddler son to bed. Suddenly, I felt a bubble and then wetness. Running to the bathroom, I saw blood. My breath faltered and then emerged in gasps.
