Miscarrige

[Shootforthestars]

Hi, I had a miscarriage last week. My dates would have made me 11 weeks but was measuring about 5 on scan and had a large blood clot. Miscarrige was natural with no medical intervention on follow up scan last Thursday everything looked clear. Physically I’m ok but mentally and emotionally I’m a mess. I feel like I’m doing ok then I get hit with a wave of emotions and everyone and there granny seems to be pregnant. I am so lucky to have a wee boy who’s 6. I just don’t know how to make myself feel better emotionally and mentally. I know its very early days but any advice/support would be appreciated

Aww shootforthestairs this horrible. I have one last June and a ectopic in June.
I was so emotional and still do be at times.
You do think and here about everyone being pregnant and it's awful. I work with newborns and it was so tough.
I took some time off work and got out for plenty of walks when I was able to.
Some days I did just want to lie in bed. Running helped me also. But was not fit to run until a few weeks after as I wasn't eating or sleeping great.
You are lucky to have your wee boy but it definitely doesn't take away from what has happened. I have no babies and feel like I am a little obsessed now, I am only 26 and healthy but keep asking myself why.
I felt guilty and blamed myself for ages , this didn't help. I spoke with my partner every time I felt upset as I needed his support.
Plenty of rest and some time off work should help.
Hope you are ok. Sending some love!!!

I had one*

Thanks you. It really is horrible, I knew today wouldn’t be a good day as I had to do a home pregnancy test to make sure my hormones had dropped so think that just set me off for the day then bumped into someone I knew at the school who told me she was 12 weeks pregnant 😢 so bad start to the day. My doctor has signed me off for 2 weeks ( I work with nursery age kids) so will see how I go.
Trying to set myself little goals so Next weeks is to get out in the freash air for a good walk

Yes it is awful when people tell you about there news and they don't know.
Yes I found that really hard too.
I only found myself coping when I was pregnant again then to get more shit news.
I work in a neonatal unit so it is tough, I would take as much time as you need.
