Blame

[Pips841]

I still completely blame myself for this miscarriage! Joined a gym to keep
Me fit and healthy but there is a dark 'blame' thought in my head still....

Hugs!

I think this is a completely normal feeling on the road to emotionally dealing with miscarriage, but I really hope you can convince yourself otherwise.

I don't know your exact circumstances, but there are so many reasons for miscarriage and there's not really anything the mummy can do to stop it if the baby isn't developing properly.

Exercise is great both to get fit for a pregnancy and also encouraged during pregnancy to keep mummy's body healthy and working well to nourish the baby. www.tommys.org/pregnancy-information/im-pregnant/exercise-pregnancy/exercise-faqs/does-exercise-cause-miscarriage

I found out I was pregnant by going to the gym as I couldn’t finish. Also I know plenty of people who continued throughout pregnancy.

Do not blame yourself. It is horrible what has happened to you and I am really sorry, but it really isn’t your doing

I've since joined the gym so feeling more positive about myself (despite my weight!!!) not huge but stopped my competitive exercise when I found out I was pregnant so it crept on in the first 12 weeks. I blame myself as maybe I didn't protect the little thing enough!

Stopping competitive exercise won't have harmed your baby. You did protect it, and there's nothing you could have done to stop it happening. I'm so sorry for your loss. xx
