First pregnancy and miscarriage, struggling to cope

Anyone have any advice on how to cope? Had a mc Monday evening, It’s been quite traumatic as I was rushed to hospital the day after as I collapsed in my town centre. They did a d and c which has stopped the severe bleeding. I feel numb and in a state of shock. I was 11 weeks and due my first scan yesterday. I can’t cry but I want to, I only really broke down when I first saw the blood clot. I feel so empty inside. I got really drunk last night which I regret massively as it has me feel considerably worse. Sorry for the rant.

I'm so sorry. My advice is time. With time the pain eases. Its completely awful I know. Also were you given some support numbers from the hospital? You could call them to talk. Sending hugs x

I’m sorry this has happened to you. Life can be really cruel. Echo the post above, give it time. Talk if you need to and look after yourself.

@Milosunshine I'm currently going through my first miscarriage and it was my first pregnancy too. Mine started last wednesday when I should have been 10 weeks. I'm still bleeding but I think I have passed all the clots and tissue now. I didn't have a D&C, I'm just passing it 'naturally' (it does not feel natural). I feel really numb too. Like I'm not here. I don't have anything to suggest to help I'm afraid, but you're not alone.

I keep swinging between numb and really *&£$&ing angry. I'm just trying to keep busy right now. I'm applying for jobs and took a car full of junk to the tip this morning. Tomorrow there's a bunch of stuff going to the charity shop. But earlier I did watch that Reese Witherspoon film 'Wild' on Netflix. Loss was a theme in that. It felt good watching it.
