How do you allow yourself to be happy again?

[Ladybug4023]

After a miscarriage, if you were to get pregnant again...How do you allow yourself to be happy about it? How do you tell anyone? Your partner especially? Is it normal to feel embarrassed? I feel like a failure and I know that's normal and maybe not true but the embarrassment I feel is indescribable...I want a baby more than anything and life just keeps snatching it away from me.

Totally get how you're feeling, I was the same. I couldn't believe it happened to me and kept thinking it must have been my fault somehow.

I'm not sure I've got much to offer in the way of advice, but focusing on my health, fitness and nutrition helped me get back to feeling myself again. I wanted to feel like I was doing everything I could to be as healthy as possible for future pregnancies. (That was 2.5 years ago and I still haven't been pregnant again, but that's another story...)

Don't be too hard on yourself and try and lean into the things you like doing.

You don’t
my first ivf was a miscarriage at 10weeks so when my second cycle got me pregnant we worried through all the 9months didn’t tell or enjoy any of it :( sad really but my daughter is heathy so that’s all gay matters really
even when they are born the worries are all there just over different things now
good luck hope you get your baby ❤️
