Miscarriage at 7 weeks

Hi everyone,

I wanted to get some things off my chest, and I thought this would be the most none judgemental place.

On Wednesday I found out I had a missed miscarriage. No heartbeat was found at the early pregnancy unit (had some bad cramping). I’ve been given the tablets to take at home and the second tablets are to be taken tomorrow.

im not overly sure how to feel. The pregnancy wasn’t planned and I was convinced it was what I wanted. I cried whenever I saw a pregnancy announcement, would imagine my life with my baby etc.

Since I was told about my miscarriage, I’ve not really felt much. I cried on the day, but since have felt ‘in different’? I go through stages of ‘oh, well I guess that’s that’ to ‘well, I’m kinda relived’. It’s really made me think do I want a child? Or was I just being swept up in the ‘this is what society tells you to do’.

My partner is supportive, he says he gets how I feel and that we don’t need children to complete our relationship, as we have a pretty good life now.

Im really confused and unsure about the entire thing. I feel like such an a hole for thinking the way I do, as I know some people are desperate for a child and I’m fortunate I was able to get pregnant, however I really don’t think I want to ever be pregnant again.

Im sorry this awful thing has happened to you. Planned or not, it can give you horrible symptoms. I hope you have all the medical and emotional support you need for this time to pass.

You dont need to decide right now whilst hormones are doing their thing with you. Give yourself a break. Let your body recover and your mind heal from this experience.

You may feel differently about having children at another point in your life, and you may not. Give yourself time.

I have had five pregnancies en in miscarriage, and have now two living children. The first time it happened I thought it might mean the end of motherhood but it turned out differently for me. Above all I wish you peace with your loss and hope for whatever comes your way in the future.
