Miscarriage 5 weeks-really upset

[Cheesybiscuits01]

I only found out I was pregnant last week. I already have one child. Started bleeding yesterday. Unfortunately I'm an NHS worker so had to tell work I was pregnant because of covid and so also told both sets of parents. Feeling absolutely devastated. I had a chemical pregnancy before my first child and managed to just shrug it off but I can't this time. I think it's almost worse because people know. Then I feel really silly for being so upset. I already have a child and it was so early I was barely pregnant. People go through much worse. No point to this post really just had to share the sadness.

Im sorry for your loss. It was still your baby and you have every right to be upset. The fact you have told people will make it harder but obviously you couldn't help that so I understand while you are stressed about this. Be kind to yourself and just get through a hour at a time.

You’re not silly, you’re grieving. From the moment we see the second line a lot of us immediately imagine the whole of the pregnancy, the baby, the way life will change with them in it. You’re going through the loss of all that, your hormones will be in turmoil and you might be in pain physically too. Be gentle with yourself.

I've been there, it's absolutely ok to be upset. Be gentle with yourself xx

Thank you everyone. That's so kind of you to respond.

Hope you get some sleep Cheesy and give yourself as much time as possible to recover. Very hard to do at the moment, of course, but do try

Thank you. Had not a bad night and having cuddles with my little one now.
