Question

coping after a mc

Hello ladies. Im just after a bit of support really. I suffered a mc a few weeks ago, and I'm not coping well at all. I have a 2 and a half year old to run around after, so I'm very busy during the day. When he goes to bed though, I'm on my own every evening and I just cry and want to curl up into a ball. My 12 week scan would have been this Thursday, and I'm really struggling. I can't even look at a pregnant women without bursting into tears. When will this start to get better?

Ahhhh bless you hunni, I'm so so sorry for your loss. I also had a miscarriage last month although it didn't progress as far as yours. Do you have a partner or are you facing this by yourself?
I know it's cliche but it does get easier with time. You just take as much time as you need to grieve xxxxxx

Hi there, I'm really sorry for your loss. I had a miscarriage in October last year and while you never forget it, time does help heal the pain of the loss. I still have days when I'm emotional and wonder what this wee life would have been like. I guess it's the loss of the potential of what this life would have been. I understand how you feel when you see pregnant women, I still feel a wee bit like that, especially if they are due around the time I was but it is getting easier............take care xox

So sorry for your loss. I suffered a miscarriage at 14 weeks had scan to find no heartbeat as I didn't start bleeding myself I had opted for medical management and when that didn't work I had to have a d&c. Most traumatic thing iv ever had to deal with. I have a 9yr old and a 5yr old. I will tell you it gets easier I still have days I just cry and don't want to get out of bed but not as many. I have friends who are pregnant and I can't help but feel that should be me. It's a very huge thing for any woman to go through it can't imagine it been easy for anyone to lose a baby at any stage because you have hopes and dreams from the beginning. Everyone deals with it differently but just focus on your 2 yr old and the future that's what I do and anything added is a bonus. Big hugs xx

I am so very sorry for your loss. We are all here for you! I miscarried this past November and I was just devastated. You will have days that you are emotional, it's okay. It's okay to cry. I felt alone, embarrassed, and deeply saddened. Talking it out with the hubby helped more than I could admit at the time. All I wanted to do was shutdown and what I was really doing was closing myself off to those that loved me and wanted to be there for me. I found that keeping a journal of how I felt and writing exactly what I was feeling was helpful. It didn't take the pain away but it helped.

I don't know when it will get better, but it will not be this bad always. I know that is not what you may want to hear right now. But you also have to allow yourself time to grieve. We are all here if you need to talk. My prayers are with you.

Oh hun, im so sorry for your loss. I too had a miscarriage last month. (feb 20th). it's such a hard thing for anyone and i wouldnt wish it upon anyone. just take it one day at a time. baby steps as my husband says. he helped me more than he realizes. talking about it helps too, we're always here for you, to offer our support and advice. it will get easier as time passes. I still have a hard time being around pregnant women or when someone says "it happens for a reason". some days are worse than others. take time to allow yourself to grieve, and if you feel you need to really cry, then cry. it helps. i know im not much help, and dont have much advice, and im sorry for that. just know that your not alone. sending prayers and lots of hugs your way.

I also would recommend planting a tree or a plant (symbolizes life) . something to remember your baby by. thats what i did by planting a lilac bush. and to be honest, im so glad i did. i think it was part of my healing process and i felt a huge weight come off my shoulders a few days after. i highly recommend it.
