Miscarriage at 6 weeks

[KatieD6]

Hi

I found out yesterday that I had miscarried at 6 weeks and I am absolutely gutted. The pregnancy was a surprise but a welcome one and now I don't know what to do. I am 36 and know time is running out for me plus I am insulin controlled diabetic so not ideal but I have been making sure I keep my control as tight as possible.

The scan never showed a baby and I almost feel like I maybe imagined the positive pregnancy tests that I did. I thought at first the bleeding was normal but I knew pretty quickly that it wasn't and now I just feel sick every time I see the blood as know that it means I am most definitely not pregnant anymore - it just seems so cruel.

Everywhere I go I seem to see babies and new Mums and it just makes it harder...anyway, I just wondered if it had happened to anyone else and how they felt/coped?

HI Katie
It has happened to me - I have lost three pg's at around 6 weeks. It is a terrible thing to go through, and you will be feeling grief stricken and just lost right now. I promise you thought that it does get better. I always think of my lost babies in the month they would've been born, but I have managed to move on and count the blessings I do have (2 dc's) Don't expect too much of yourself - allow time to grieve and have a cry, and then when you feel ready, try to focus on the future. It is not easy, and I think unless you have been through it you don't really know how it feels, but life does move on, people do go on to have successful preganancies and the pain stops being so raw with time. Take care of yourself - MN is a great source of support if you need someone to talk to xx

Thanks so much for your reply, much appreciated. So sorry to hear you have gone through 3, I cannot believe how common miscarriage seems to be. thanks again x

im so so sorry for your loss katie. last january i had a mc at 6 weeks i have polycystic overies and unfortuantly had to have an op on a thursday a week after me and dh found out we were expecting i had to sign a form saying that if i mc that i couldnt hold hospital responsable! the monday after i started bleeding and knew exactly what was happening. i rang epu on tuesday morning and my scan proved what i already knew. i took this really hard and blamed the hospital and also myself. but darling there is light at the end of the tunnel it has taken us just over a yr but i am currently 7 weeks pregnant and am more positive than i have been for a long long time. i hope you take care of yourself loads of hugs sweetie xxxxxxx

Hi Katie

I'm very new to forums...

I am so sorry to hear about what you are going through, and can sympathise... I'm in exactly the same boat - I'm currently miscarrying at 6-7 weeks and this is my second. It is soooo hard, today I went to work and did my job and then came home and sobbed on my husbands shoulder for an hour...

I can only say that it does get easier day by day, you will have set backs and be prepared to run a whole range of emotions, you are allowed to be sad, angry, jealous, sorry for yourself, and you do never forget - my due date was a big landmark for me that helped, I could finally properly look forward after that, and now I have another one to think about... but I do believe in no regrets and everything happening for a reason so I so hope that you keep that faith and get your little baby one day, and in the meantime, I hope you can find comfort in friends and family and a few of the lovely folks on here :)

Take care

Estelle

Thanks again for replying to my message - don't feel so alone now x

Hi Kate I'm mc twice. Most of the people I know from school seem to have small babies or be expecting. 2 of the. Have children around the age my youngest would have been so I understand completely how you feel. All I can say is it gets easier. You never forget and you will have bad days but it does get easier.
