Feeling so lost

I lost my mum on Christmas Day. I found out I was pregnant on Christmas Eve.

I don't know what to do with myself. I'm only 7 weeks gone and have had 3 previous miscarriages. I'm trying to be strong for the baby but my heart is in tatters after losing my mum.

She had metastatic breast cancer and was given 6 months to 2 years- but only lasted 3 months. The pain is unbearable.

I go to bed at 10pm and sleep until 11am with a nap at around 5-6pm. All I want to do is sleep away my time. I also have this dreadful restless feeling when I am awake.

No idea what to do or where to turn 😔

I’m so so sorry. Do you have a supportive partner? Please just take an hour by hour right now, sleep and rest as much as you can. Try and eat a little something and drink hot tea.

(((HUG))))

I am SO sorry to hear about your Mum 🌷

It hurts massively whenever it happens, but on Christmas Day, it’s even harder x

Did you have the opportunity to tell her you were pregnant?

If you can sleep, sleep! There’s no harm in it while you can.

Eat as well as you can and drink as much water as you can (or tea)
Look after yourself as well as you possibly can.

I really hope this pregnancy sticks for you.

There’s always someone here, whether you want to talk about your mum or just be distracted by nonsense!

Sorry for your loss @TellMeMore2020
I lost my mum 2yrs ago. It really hard to lose a parent.

I lost dd1, when I was 7mths pregnant with dd2,4yrs ago.
I went to bed, put the duvet over my head and stayed there. Sadly it didn't make anything better. Try and drink as much as you can you don't want to end up dehydrated.
Take care of yourself
