What to tell new boyfriend

Hi everyone,
I had a miscarriage back in January and have started a new relationship since. As my due date is becoming closer (August 27th) I'm starting to feel really upset again. I wondered what people thought I should say to new boyfriend about my feelings. He knows about the miscarriage but I haven't said how I still feel upset by it because I don't know how he would react. I feel awful not talking about the miscarriage because I don't want it to seem like I've forgotten the baby but at the same time I don't want to push my new boyfriend away by telling him how I feel. What do you think I should do?

Tell him. It is an important thing to you and grieving properly is important. If he can't handle it or freaks out then he is not worthy of you. Be up front.

I am so sorry for your loss. Be kind to yourself and do whatever you need to. Xxxx

Everything mumwhatnothing said. If he can't cope with you and your feelings then he doesn't deserve you xxx

Thank you for your replies. I will try talking to him. It's hard because I mainly dealt with the miscarriage alone and so opening up to someone now is difficult. Hoping he will be understanding xxx
