How to deal with a miscarriage

[lauraemily94]

Hi girls,

I have been reading everyone threads since finding out I lost my baby at the start of the year at 7 weeks. I wasn't aware of how common miscarriages was.

Can anyone give any advice on how they have dealt with it? I'm struggling to even think about it, I feel very numb.

We don't want to try again for another couple of months due to wanting to make sure we can cope if it happens again.

Thank you :)

I am so sorry for your loss. My husband and I are working through this at the moment. We lost our baby at the start of the year too, just a couple of days after seeing the heartbeat.

We take it one day at a time and finding other things to focus on so we are not dwelling, but everywhere we turn there is pregnancy announcements or newborns and it feels like a punch to the stomach every time. We have found it helpful to take time to think about and talk about what happened. Being able to talk and cry about it has helped to lift some of the overwhelming sadness and not feel so isolated. But everyone will have their own way of coping with the loss. Just take some time for yourselves and look after yourselves. It's really difficult but it will get better with time

Thank you, I'm sorry for your loss to 😔.
I havnt cried yet, A few months ago I got put on sertraline anti depressants, and I find I don't have emotions now. I don't get excited or sad and I'm worried if I don't reflect on it, it will knock my mental health back.

Thank you for your comment though :)

Time is a healer, you have to be kind to yourself and get some support if you can.
Massive virtual hugs to you x

I had a mc at 10wks on 3 Jan and have already found the mile stones I created for myself (telling work, 12wk scan ((we saw a hb at 8wks)) buying first maternity outfit etc) a bit emotional.
I don't want to ttc for a few months because I think I'll get myself so stressed out by it just now.
