Hi, looking for some advice on how to cope and feel better. I recently had a complicated miscarriage at 10 weeks with infection and retained products eventually having to have surgical management. I think I sort of went in to denial and was just happy to draw a line under it all once the medical side of things was sorted out. Since the miscarriage, several friends have announced their pregnancies and whilst I am happy for them, it has reminded me that I should be pregnant too and the strategy of pretending it didn’t happen and not thinking about it isn’t working.
I have a 2 year old who it took over a year to conceive and I think stress played a large part in this. This most recent pregnancy was actually unplanned (I never thought it would be possible for me to get pregnant accidentally) and has made me realise that I do want my son to have a sibling. Now thinking about TTC again I feel this horrible panicky feeling in my chest that it is going to be like the first time with me getting stressed that it’s not going to happen etc. I am in my mid-30s so don’t think I can afford to just ‘wait and see’ as time is not on my side which also adds to the pressure. What strategies did people use to help them relax when trying again after a miscarriage?
