Miscarriage at 11 weeks

Hello Ladies,

I am feeling deficient today. I have a lovely little 4-year-old boy. I fell pregnant again and was initially not excited because of job loss etc. Eventually, I came around to adoring this little soul. But on Sunday I found out I had miscarried and my world was shattered. I want to try again but I am 39 and I don't know if I will be able to manage another loss if it happens.

Just looking for hand hold and any positive stories after MMC at 40

I’m so sorry this has happened, it’s absolutely devastating. Please look after and be kind to yourself during this time. Sending hugs to you!
Different situation as I had IVF treatment but I had a miscarriage in March 2022 and then went on to have a baby in February 2023. I turned 39 in July 23 so not too dissimilar in age.
Take good care x

I’m so sorry…I’m currently recovering from surgical management of a missed miscarriage. I’m 40 and two weeks ago I found out that my pregnancy stopped developing. I also don’t know if I can try again mentally, and if it will ever happen for me because of my age….you’re not alone! Xx

Thank you, Ladies. I know people mean well but it doesn't help when people around me tell me that I at least have one kid and I should try to accept that might never have another one.😢These comments hurt especially as my pain is still so raw.

@NortWestmum Oh no! Those comments are not helpful at all! I’m sorry you’re hearing these from people. I know it’s hard but shut out that noise and take time to look after yourself. Give yourself a bit of time to heal and see how you feel. But know plenty of women do go on to have babies in the 40s.
@Cinai - I am very sorry you are going through this as well. The pain is just awful. I hope you can look after yourself as best you can in this really tough time.
hugs all round x
