Really after some advise or even just to get this off my chest- I had a miscarriage at 12 weeks in March and though it was super hard to accept it initially, life moved on with a hectic work life and a 4 year old to look after. The past month has been really difficult with horrible mood swings and me getting irate or snappy with my DD and DH.. I don’t seem to have much control on my mind and I feel very down and don’t have much positivity.. I dunno if this is hormonal but am very guilty of my behaviour along with feeling very useless, and not confident I can do anything well. My DH is supportive but equally has moved on from the miscarriage experience and I thought I had too.. I don’t have any friends and find it difficult to open up to family who are far away… I am desperate to feel happy and positive but I dunno what’s wrong.. I don’t think I can do anything right , my job, being a mom… I feel like such a failure.. that it hurts..

I am so so sorry you feel this way I lost my baby boy 3 weeks ago and I have a loving DH and very sweet 5 year old DS but found myself yesterday snapping and being upset with them. I think it’s normal process of grieving and also talk to your DH he may still be grieving too but trying to be “strong” so that you can “move on” also look into talking to a professional or councillor I am currently talking to the bereavement midwife and maybe because she is a stranger I feel so much better after talking to her sending you lots of love you are not failure

Thanks for your message @Daisy155 … and am so sorry for your loss… it’s terrible.. hope you are coping OK.. much strength and hugs to you x
i am looking to speak to a counselling service to see if that helps, there are days when am OK, but there is days/ weeks when nothing feels right and I feel the whole world crumbling.. I feel guilty to feel that way when I have a lovely family and life… somehow feel am imperfect and foolish to be sad.. about something that’s not there while not appreciating what I have.. but thanks for your thoughts and for reaching out to me when you are grieving xx
