Miscarried at 7 weeks

[Jampot36]

Hi, i miscarried 4 days ago at 7 weeks.

I feel utterly broken. We were so happy and I'd had all of the symptoms that my baby was doing ok then suddenly i started to bleed. A hospital scan confirmed the sac but no baby was visible so i had to wait to miscarry. The physical pain was beyond anything i ever experienced. I'm still bleeding and incredibly sore. Mentally i veer between crying and feeling totally numb and useless. I'm barely sleeping and have no appetite so not eating much at all although im trying to as my husband is making me small meals. Mostly living on caffeine and water. My husband, parents and friends have been amazing but i just want to be on my own. I've taken this week off work. My husband thinks i should try to go back next week even phased return to try to get some routine and distraction, he's worried I'll isolate myself.

I dont know how to move forward and i wondered if anyone who had been through this could tell me how you coped and what got you through?

Thanks x

It's hard to give advice to such a sensitive issue. I had a miscarriage a few years ago but I had my baby at the time to keep me busy. I'd say just go through the emotions and don't hold anything in. I bought a little teddy so when I think about it I can cuddle it and somehow it makes me feel a little better. I have the teddy on my bedside table. Everyone is different so find a little something that works for you. Also when things to get on top I write everything on a piece of paper that's annoying me to get it of my chest then rip it up. Sorry not much help but bottling up is no good. Sorry for what you went through no woman deserves such a horrible thing to happen.

Hi I had a MC at 8 weeks around 7 weeks ago.

I took 3 weeks off work. 2 week sick line and 1 week holiday which was already booked. Dont rush going back, go back when you feel ready.

I felt talking to people helped me. I only told a few people, family and close friends. Dont shut your partner out they are going through it too, just in a different way.

I spent alot of time in my house crying and eating chocolate. Eventually I realised sitting in my house crying wouldnt change things and i felt getting back into a routine with work, gym, meeting up with friends helped.

Also think having something to look forward to helps. We're goin away for a few days and got a family wedding coming up.

I think about it every day and I dont know if that will ever change. But it gets easier to deal with.

Sorry for your loss. Take things easy and be kind to yourself
