ashamed and embarrassed

[MerlinsBeard]

Had m/c on 1st June which has been dragged on by hosp not willing to intervene and wanting nature to do its thing. Hadn't told anyone i was pg so didn't feel able to tell ppl i had had a m/c. A friend announced her pregnancy last weeek and i texted her afterwards to tell her why i hadn't congratulated her. Now that people around me (other than close family) know i feel embarrassed and ashamed that i m/c in the first place. Don't know why.

Wondered if anyione else had felt like this?

I'm really sorry.
When I was pg with ds, i bled for the first 3 months, although i didn't m/c (ds died at 9 weeks old), i felt really silly and embarrassed about what to tell people if i did m/c. I did feel a bit silly and embarrassed about telling people he had died though, i'm not really sure why, i think it was just the awkwardness of it.
