Don't know how to feel!

After bleeding lightly all last week I went for scan on Friday, needing an internal scan I assumed everything was lost until a tiny 6week baby popped up on the screen with a thudding heartbeat. I'd read up that at 6weeks with baby having a heartbeat you have 78% chance of continuing you're pregnancy but Sunday morning bleeding got heavier and by that night I was passing large clots (sorry TMI) then a sudden pain in my lower abdomen shot through me and rushing to toilet another clot passed but this time the sac with tiny little baby was inside. Now I feel lost and empty, I've suffered two miscarriages before each of my youngest two boys. I have 4 boys all together and I'm trying to keep myself together for them but it's a struggle. The baby wasn't planned and my partner didn't want another baby but as he came around to the idea everything was lost. I've recently began writing about it, I don't know if it will help heal me but I hope so because I don't want to go through another breakdown. Sorry I just needed to talk about it because talking to family or friends they don't seem to understand how I feel x

Lozzy I'm so sorry you lost your baby. I think it often helps to write it all down, it can be a very lonely thing to go through, but it needn't be, there are lots of women here who've had similar experiences and can understand how wretched the whole thing is.
I've had 4 MC and found that the later ones brought up unresolved feelings about the earlier ones. Have you had any counselling? It might be worth looking in to even if the previous losses were a long time ago.
