To ask for a handhold I feel so alone

I'm due to have a 6/7 week scan tomorrow after multiple miscarriages (double figures) and I've got period like cramps and bleeding.

I've been bleeding on and off for 2 weeks, no clots.

I feel so alone and I just want to cancel my scan in the morning. Time and time again I've sat in that waiting area, I've had to listen to the "I'm sorry" words, I've had to sit in the family room with a useless leaflet about miscarriage and a box of tissues.

I'm not religious but I could really do with some positive thoughts being put out there for me tonight, I'm not sure I can endure another loss 😢

Thank you so much everyone, I can't even explain how much your messages, prayers, good thoughts, stories mean to me.

Somehow, against all the odds, baby has a heartbeat and everything looks good for now! Baby is tiny! X

Amazing news, congratulations!

Op that's so heartbreaking, I'm sending you all the good wishes and vibes. We had a lot of trouble at the start of this pregnancy and I know my head was just away with the worry of it. It can feel so lonely. I really hope you get some answers at your scan but we did have to go back again at 8 weeks before we actually saw anything because it was so early for a scan. One thing I would say if you feel up to it is tell a friend or family member you trust because I found it really hard not telling anyone I was pregnant because it was still so early, but then having to go through all the fear and worry with DH alone. So if you have someone you can confide in I do think it makes a difference. I felt so lucky that one of my friends had been through a similar experience so I knew she understood and we were able to be there for each other and she didn't come out with the useless insensitive nonsense people say. You are not alone, you are very strong and I really really hope this works out for you xxx

I missed the update!!!! Delighted for you!!! Praying this little bean gets stronger every day!! Just be gentle with yourself, it's normal to feel anxious after everything that went before but remember you also deserve to feel the joy in this pregnancy too. Xx

Thinking of you, @elm26
I had lots of miscarriages but already had children, I can't imagine the pain.. I did eventually get my last baby to term! :-)
My sis had lots of bleeding with her only child, but was fine.
I will say a prayer for you.. God Bless. xx

DDivaStar · 07/10/2022 07:13
