MC Day 2

5 replies

ALittleOCD · 07/04/2021 15:14

Hey everyone. I'm 27, first pregnancy and going through day 2 of a MC. I'm really so disappointed and angry at myself because honestly I thought my body was made for this. I thought the conceiving would be difficult, not the staying pregnant. Feeling overwhelmed, work is also unbelievably stressful at the moment and just needed to vent to someone

Hi, I didn’t want to read and run. I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way, it can be so frustrating. Have you got support IRL?

Hi, I'm so sorry for your mc and everything you're going through.
I have had a few mc and when I went through it no one really told me what to expect, or how I would feel. It was horrible. I was expected to just get through it (at 8 weeks each time), deal with the hormonal changes and get on with daily life. I was told it happens to everyone and it's very common but when you're going through it, you feel very alone. But for some it's just not that simple. I completely understand what you're going through. Now with time I have realised that it is very very very common however I still feel so sh!t about it all two years since the last one.
I don't know where I'm going with this but give yourself time to understand how you feel, look after yourself, treat yourself and do anything you can to feel better. I'm sorry you're going through this. Sending lots of love xx

@GoBrookeYourself**@tulips87

Thank you so much for your messages. I'm really disappointed but I have an incredibly supportive husband. He's really upset too and he was so unbelievably excited. He'd already planned everything, all his lists were ready. Just really really heartbreaking.

@tulips87 I am sorry you ave been through this multiple times, I can't imagine how it must feel to do this all again.

I'm sorry your going through this.

It's the worst. I was also angry with my body when I had MC. I felt like why me? Why doesn't that have to happen to me, I really want this baby. I like you, had planned and imagined everything in the short space before MC as did my friends who had a MC so you are not alone in getting excited and making plans

Take some time to yourself to deal with it and come to terms with it. It took me a few months to properly come to terms with it.

Don't feel guilty for any feelings you have right now and don't lose hope in your body

Echoing what @soditall56 has said- whatever you are feeling right now is valid, and nothing you could have done could have prevented this. Be kind to yourself.

I know this might not help right now, but you are young and have plenty of factors on your side so hopefully your next little bean will be sticky. But of course you will still mourn and that’s okay, just be kind to yourselves. How far along were you?
