Kind of lonely

I'm going through a miscarriage at 6 weeks today. I know I'm lucky it's not later from some of the threads I've read here. It just feels lonely. I'm lucky to already have one child and my husband is wonderful. I just can't really tell anyone else. I'm also early 40s so I know there's not really any help. Tough to plaster a smile on and bring my child to camp. I'm a teacher and I already know a colleague is pregnant, so I'll be seeing her in September. No doubt half the school will be pregnant. Just sounding off really. I seem to get pregnant OK but can't make it to the 2nd trimester. Solidarity to anyone going through the same. It's hard because I had really accepted us as a 3 and then this pregnancy raised my hopes just to dash them again.

I totally understand where your coming from, currently going through the same, waiting for an appointment at the early pregnancy unit, but been bleeding for 16 days now so it’s kinda pointing at a miscarriage. No one knows other than me and my husband, and I feel so lonely and lost. Sending you so much love x

@Landrover19 thanks so much for your reply. Sending you a genuine hug. It's really tough. I'll take another pregnancy test next week just to make sure but I've been bleeding lots so I'm sure it's over. I even toyed with the idea of telling my MIL, just to have an older woman to talk to. I don't have anyone really. I decided against it in the end. Don't want to tell friends. I hope you conceive again. Probably not much hope for me now because I'm 41 but I suppose nothing is set in stone.

My mil would be the last person I’d tell, it would just be another thing for her to judge me on. And never say never. ❤️❤️
