I suppose if you're going to have a miscarriage at 12 weeks it's crap whever you are. But I ask you, on the other side of the world while sharing a house with your parents in law.......don't know what else to say really. I feel absolutely dreadful and I miss all my friends and family so much it hurts. I feel like I have to keep concentrating hard on how lovely DH and DD are or my heart will break.

Oh, darling. I am so sorry. Where are you? A cyberhug from someone you don't know won't be nearly enough, but it's all I can do. MIxxxxxx

Oh Welshmum I'm so sorry. 12 weeks seems so late -just getting over the crap stage. How long are you staying wherever you are? Are you coming back?
I've had 2 m/cs(but much earlier than you) and I defo needed some friends around...it must be awful in someone elses house.

I know what you mean about concentrating on your daughter and hubbie but somehow it doesn't ease the pain. I have no advice except take it easy and be very kind to yourself. Keep your daughter close & believe you will have another......lots of love

Welshmum -

Hope you find the support you need. You have a beautiful daughter to cherish.

Do you know what could have caused it? Probably not top of your priorities at the moment.

Take care.

How sad, you poor thing. Be kind to yourself and cry as much as you need to. Somedays I thought I would never stop crying, it is such a heartbreaking thing to go through. Lots of hugs over to you xxx

How awful. Much sympathy and love winging its way over to you. Perhaps a phone call to a really good friend will help, someone you can really 'pour out' to ? I know that when we lost Hollie (at 26 wks) I couldn't bear speaking to anyone face to face but I found the phone helped. It allowed me to keep part of my protective barrier up but also enabled me to vent my grief.

Oh God, how terribly sad you poor poor little thing.
Motherinferior says it for me really - a cyberhug is all I have to offer.
Do keep concentrating on your DH and DD and Mumsnet is ALWAYS here, 24/7.
Lots of love to you - Thomcat xx

Welshmum, I'm so sorry to hear your news. I had a m/c at 11.5 weeks in October - looking back I suspect that the baby died at 8 weeks, which is within the usual early miscarriage timeframe. It must be very difficult being in someone else's house so far from home. I'm sure your friends and family wish they were close by too and would prefer you to call them, if only to cry. Take care.

welshmum, I am so sorry to hear your news. I am not much help in Auckland but if you want to pick up the phone and let rip to somebody you have only chatted to in cyber space just ask tech for my details. I had a m/c here at 8 weeks earlier this year (we had only moved here 6 months before) and the hardest part was being so far away from family and friends and people you could just chat to without having to think.
my heart goes out to you.

Welshmum, that's terrible news. How terribly unfair. How long are you in NZ for?

Report
Welshmum · 16/12/2003 19:26

Thanks for all your kind thoughts - it really is a comfort. I'm going for a scan this morning - so ironic that this was supposed to be a holiday. It's like a black comedy - a very black comedy.

Welshmum .... so sorry to hear this
If you want to talk (I had an m/c at 12 weeks last year) just get in touch with me through contact a talker and I can ring you ... I am in Auckland but at least it is closer than the UK!
