Is it normal to still feel pregnant after a miscarriage

[Sophiehnt]

A few days ago I lost my baby at 16 weeks at home due to a weak cervix, I’m only 17 and it’s been a massive shock. I keep feeling like I’m still pregnant in my head and going to touch my stomach then I realise that I am no longer and then I can’t stop crying. Has anyone else felt like this? Is it normal? I feel like I should just know it’s not there instead It’s like I keep forgetting that he’s died. Also I would like to have my baby buried and be close to me, has anyone else taken this route? I’m not bothered about expense but does it give you closure instead of your baby being cremated with all the other losses and you never having a private place? Thankyou

Take care OP 💐. I lost two babies but very early on at 6-8 weeks. I didn’t feel like I was still pregnant afterwards but I kept touching my stomach and feeling sad but I was much less far on than you. Go and speak to your GP OP. Someone may come along and advise about what helped with grieving. I don’t mean to give you false hope OP but I had a friend of a friend who was pregnant and lost her baby which obviously she was still grieving for and it turned out several
weeks later she was still pregnant. She had been pregnant with twins and she went on to have the other baby. When I touched my tummy I kept thinking maybe I am like X and I am still pregnant and the doctors have got it wrong but I had lost both my babies. After giving birth when I was in bed I also felt nostalgic for my babies when they were born as I missed having them in my tummy.
