Totally agree with stumpysmum

nails wishing you lots of love going forward and hope you have plenty of support to keep you strong.

nailsathome · 05/03/2016 17:44

Thanks Lilliana

Unfortunately it's not my first mmc Sad
I don't know if I'll be ttc again. Pregnancy is hard for me, I'm 35 and I couldn't go through another loss. That makes it all the more sad for me.

Lilliana · 05/03/2016 17:46

Sorry, I remember now. I'm in a similar situation. I will be thinking of you xx

peardrop2 · 05/03/2016 17:47

Really really sad to read that people are suggesting that Sausage and I are not being "supportive" just because we've shared our issues with anxiety. It's not supportive to single people out and just to clarify again...I for one certainly don't want to stop people talking about sad events or sharing their sad circumstances. I'm just sharing that I'm finding it hard. Absolutely nothing wrong with us saying that we've needed to take a step back.

BaggyPantz · 05/03/2016 17:52

That's just the thing though, you didn't need to share that information, you could have just easily stopped reading the thread. Nobody keeps tabs on who is and isn't contributing. No need for the flounce.

For someone to say they're leaving BECAUSE a PP has shared their sad news is not constructive and will only add guilt to the myriad of emotions they are going through right now. Highly insensitive.

Annarose2014 · 05/03/2016 17:54

Oh nails I can't imagine it. Sad

Lilliana · 05/03/2016 17:59

thank you baggy that would have been my next post!

sparkleshine83 · 05/03/2016 18:00

I'm so sorry to hear what's happened, nails.

Agreeing with peardrop has said, I don't think the intention of any posts was 'don't post your m/c here' but 'I personally need to stop logging on for a bit because everytime another m/c is posted my heart bleeds for whoever posted it - and then I panic about my own pregnancy and it's making me sick with anxiety and I'm struggling to cope'. Which is completely reasonable, and not in anyway judgmental (which I think was clarified from the first). I think it's a very mature response with an aim to take yourself away from a source of stress, rather than force others away from a support network.

Seriously, I've limited myself to terse-seeming one-liners to express my sympathy but only because I've no idea what on earth I could say that could possibly help.

Kitkatmonster · 05/03/2016 18:05

Sorry sparkle but the mature response to something that upsets you is to remove yourself from it without feeling the need to explain what you are doing and why. That is what seems insensitive.

peardrop2 · 05/03/2016 18:09

Baggy - you've got that wrong. Nobody said they were leaving because of anyone. Sausage said she was leaving because she is struggling with anxiety and I shared that I completely understood and had similar feelings with anxiety.

Sausage - if you're still reading this then I really hope you're OK and that your GP continues to support you and that you've got people in RL to support you Thanks xx

I really hope everyone else going through their very sad Mcs and anyone else struggling with anxiety is getting lots of support in RL too xx Thanks

sparkleshine83 · 05/03/2016 18:12

I understand how it might come across that way, Kitkatmonster, but I read what happened as sausage explaining her impending departure from a thread in which she'd been a regular poster, which is not unreasonable.

What sausage actually said was, "I am in no way saying that these ladies shouldn't speak out, I'm just saying that to keep my own sanity that I need need to leave MN. Maybe I will be back before September, if not I wish you all the luck and love xx"

I'm reading that as a stressed and frightened lady, probably in need of lots of hugs of her own, wishing the best on everyone who's posting.

It's so very easy to come across hurtful via text without meaning to, but with a sign off wishing people luck and love I'm sure that's not what was intended.

Kitkatmonster · 05/03/2016 18:12

Flounce, flounce. Better suited to nethuns. Yes I'm lowering myself but ffs.

nailsathome · 05/03/2016 18:16

Sparkle there is nothing you can say except sorry to hear that.

As someone who had already experienced a pregnancy loss, my anxiety levels throughout pregnancy are also through the roof.

Unfortunately though, once you have been there, you know how fragile it all really is and that mc is a reality for many of us. I have not shared many of my thoughts and anxieties over the last 12 weeks here because I knew that those of you who are lucky enough to have never experienced it wouldn't want to hear those things.

I don't want this thread to take a downward turn on my behalf. Please do just spare a thought for the fact that I would love to still have a viable pregnancy to be anxious about.

I wish you all the best in your pregnancies.

sparkleshine83 · 05/03/2016 18:19

That's pretty much what I thought, nails, and that's why I didn't try to say more and fumble with trite words over something so devastating. I wish I could somehow magically do something to help and you have my sympathies.

CatFaceCrayola · 05/03/2016 18:27

On a side note. Just a reminder that if you would like to join the FB group PM me your email address :)

GuessHowMuch · 05/03/2016 18:42

Nails I'm so so sorry to hear your sad news and also that you've been subjected to some insensitive behaviour on here. Obviously doesn't mean much right now but sending you lots of strength to get through this difficult time X

wombthereitis · 05/03/2016 18:49

I think it's fine to be anxious about miscarriage and to express those worries. But there's a time and a place and immediately after someone announced their miscarriage isn't it.

I'm so, so sorry you've had to go through this again nails.

Sproutingbean · 05/03/2016 18:50

Nails I'm really sorry to have heard your sad news and sending you lots of love. You'll be in my thoughts tonight as well as the other lovely ladies who have recently had losses. xxx

ThatsNotEvenAWord · 05/03/2016 20:29

Just wanted to echo the other ladies in saying my thoughts are with those who've suffered losses, can't imagine what you must be going through. Lots of love Flowers

Arborea · 05/03/2016 20:38

Just echoing what Thstsnotevenaword said, am so very sorry to hear about your losses Flowers

Sharesinpampers · 06/03/2016 11:05

I'm so sorry nails and for those suffering with anxiety. It's very hard to find an online 'home' that suits everyone but I hope many can still come and share whatever they are going through, including those who have so sadly lost their baby and those who need to share their anxious thoughts.

I'm really grateful for those who post on here, I know no one in real life at the same stage of pregnancy as me.

OTheHugeManatee · 06/03/2016 15:06

So sorry for your loss nails. Please take care of yourself.

For those of you posting just to say how difficult someone else's miscarriage is for you, you need to take a good long look at yourself.

Lots of us have anxiety to deal with. It's no excuse for a compassion bypass Hmm

0hCrepe · 06/03/2016 15:49

Went to a friend's gathering today and had all the usual questions thrown at me by her mother-unexpectedly as I'd asked my friend not to tell anyone, even my own dc and dm don't know- so I got "was it planned?" (Yes I know I'm old and there's a huge age gap), followed by "how far are you?" 12 weeks but scan's on Wednesday so not saying anything yet (I've also had a mmc in the past) which was met with "are you sure?" Pointed glance at my tummy and "well it is your third." Cheers thanks friend. I did say well you know before my own mother. Then another friend of hers I barely know scurries up saying congratulations, I was a bit short with her saying that's the last time I tell friend anything! I felt like everyone knew but luckily no one else said anything.

FrazzleRock · 06/03/2016 18:12

I wasn't intending to come back here, but I saw the preview of it on 'Threads I'm on' and saw *Nails' awful news.
Nails I'm so so sorry. If you need a chat, please PM me. I'm having my first counselling session tomorrow in the hope it will make me feel a bit better.
And....
"I don't want this thread to take a downward turn on my behalf. Please do just spare a thought for the fact that I would love to still have a viable pregnancy to be anxious about.

I wish you all the best in your pregnancies."

Exactly THIS Flowers

0hCrepe · 06/03/2016 18:28

Such a horrible time for you. I hope you've had a lot of love from your dc today and that your session helps tomorrow. So sorry for the pain you nails, boots and the others are experiencing. I hope you feel that most of us would not put our anxieties over your real grieving and that we are here to reach out to you. You are always welcome.
