Does it get easier??

[C4refr33]

I miscarried at 8 weeks pregnant. This was 4 months ago now.

Generally I have come to terms with things but every now and again I get this sadness when I realise I'd have hit a new milestone in my pregnancy.

Today, I was collect DS from nursery and heard another mum announcing her pregnancy, out of the blue it was like a punch to the gut. Got home and been tearful ever since.

Does it get easier with time?

(I don't have anyone to talk to in RL. And DH was v unsupportive throughout the miscarriage so we haven't really spoken of it.)

Me too @C4refr33. I had mmc (partial molar) at 9 weeks that I discovered at the 12 week scan. This was 4 months ago. I'm not pregnant again and I am generally ok, but have moments of deep sadness too. Like today. I also don't have any children yet. A few other people who had mmc at the same time as me are now pregnant again and each time I hear the news it feels like a knife to my gut. I feel like it will never be my turn and I am always going to have this really bad luck.

I also don't have anyone to talk to about it. My DH was very supportive during my D&C, but less so afterwards. He doesn't really understand why I am still upset about it. My mum passed away last year. All my friends are pregnant or just had babies. I still feel very alone, even four months later. Maybe more so because now everyone has forgotten what I went through and I can't fully move on.

So, I don't know if it gets easier. But I am right there with you. Xxx

I hope it does get easier. I'm not quite there yet. I had a mmc in April after 16 months ttc. We had started the fertility process so I'm now having some tests to see if there is an issue preventing us conceiving. I've generally been OK but had a hsg test yesterday and it all came flooding back and I was really upset. I think it was triggered by sitting in the waiting room seeing all these happy pregnant women knowing I should be having my 20 week scan around now and instead I'm having fertility tests :(

Sending love to you @C4refr33 and @sadtoday21 💜

Sorry that you are both in the same boat.

Like you, @VenusStarr, I had been referred for fertility testing at the hospital but cancelled the appointment when I found out I was pregnant. Sadley that wasnt to be..

Been trying to keep busy but it still hurts. I might plan to do something special around my due date. And put together a keep sake box of the baby onesie I bought to tell DH when I found out I was pregnant, a photo of the posotive tests and a few other bits I got at the hospital when I found out I was having a miscarriage.

Its still raw so just have to take each day as it comes!

Look after youselves! X
