I found out a couple days ago at my 12 week scan baby stopped growing at 10+2. Had seen a heartbeat at 7 and 8 weeks so was a huge shock. This is my first pregnancy, I got pregnant and my boyfriend broke up with me and we've since just focussed on being coparents.

I'm now not only grieving for this baby but also the future. I was so ready for this and am heartbroken, I want to have a baby but now because of a low egg reserve I will have to try again on my own with donor sperm as I don't have time to wait. It's so much to process and I feel overwhelmed, devastated and scared. Has anyone been through anything similar or have any advice on how to get through this?

Hi I am the exact same as you heartbroken from the loss of my baby and the guy I was seeing he wasn’t ready for relationship was seeing him for only 4 months and he ended things the day before I had a positive pregnancy test long story but I miscarried at 8 weeks all alone and went for surgery to remove the fetus. I am 45 and have fibroids so I never thought I would get pregnant. !!!! It was such a shock and after some time I really welcomed it and thought I can do this by self even if he supports me but now I’ve lost both the baby and him so I’m devastated. I hope everything works out for you. I’ve had counselling joined miscarriage support groups , taken up yoga , sometimes a few glasses of wine but hey that’s allowed ! Mindfulness and meditation ect but I now long for a baby if only and I’m angry with life for initially being kind and then sweeping the rug from under me :(
