Children’s events sad when you have recurrent miscarriage

[YeovilGreen]

I suffere from recurrent miscarriage and we have decided not to try again. Mostly I am doing well but certain moments hit me.

Today I attended a huge event for kids with my stepkids and a parent was going on to me about her child, the way a doting parent is very interested in the minutiae of their kid’s live does, you know the type of thing “oh little Eric has asthma he has to have an inhaler twice a day and in summer it is worse with hay fever” and it’s things like that I where I think god I’ll never have that, to be so enamoured with my child that everything they do is important and interesting and I want to tell relative strangers about it.

It made me sad.

Posting for a handhold really.

(I made up the asthma thing to keep it vague, I know it’s not good for one’s child to to have asthma!)

Thank you

Slightly different but I’ve had multiple miscarriages since I had my daughter nearly 5 years ago. Whilst I am so so grateful to have her after fertility treatment, I feel sad that I won’t have another and also guilty that I can’t give her a sibling. I feel similar to yourself when I talk to people who have more than one child because that won’t ever be me. Don’t feel bad for thinking like it, it’s completely normal after what you have been through x
