Late Miscarriage, feeling so poorly and desperate to conceive

[Mummyof2miracles]

Hi
I'm new here but really wanted some mummy's to relate.
I lost my baby boy 15weeks ago at 17weeks 4days. His heart had stopped beating when we went for private gender scan
Since then my body has gone on shut down and I've been poorly ever since. Really low iron, vitamin D and really low B12.
I take tablets for them all now.
I've had Costo chondaritis all over my chest, back pain, headaches, flashing in my eyes and nerve tremors since.

I had my bloods done and they said all went up and we're at good levels but I still feel drained.

I'm desperate to start TTC as I feel this would not ever replace my son but fill a small gap where my heart has broken.

I also think it would make me feel physically better as well as mentally.

Anyone else been in this position and had physical problems since????

Hey, so sorry for your loss. I've had several miscarriages but none at such a late stage.
With some it's taken weeks for the physical symptoms to wane and it's so cruel but not unusual. Keep checking in with your gp though, they can often fob you off.
I had some counselling from a charity called petals and I found the help mentally also helped my physical symptoms.

Thank you replying!
I'm so sorry to hear of your loses! It's heartbreaking to go through, especially more than once!

I've really been trying to get on the mend but the next week there's something new to make me feel more run down.

I'll definitely keep nagging the doctors although they all say the same, that I'm trying to find something wrong with me 🙄 xx

Goodness, that's heartbreaking, OP. I'm so sorry. Also had a number of early losses, but nothing like this - a stark reminder that the second trimester isn't risk-free either. Sounds like you're holding it together really well. Of course you will feel like this, it's a big shock and also a big adjustment back to being not pregnant. Keep listening to your body and ask for second opinions if necessary. You know yourself best. I hope you find what's wrong and second the point about psychological wellbeing helping physical healing. Have a look at Tommy's too, if you haven't already, I've found them really helpful in the past. Hugs to you. 💐

Thank you
I'm sorry to hear this for you too!

Just when you think everything is going to be ok and you get excited it's suddenly taken away in a moment and leaves you forever broken.

I wish I knew what my body wanted but all I tell myself is that I want to be pregnant, I'm just worried if I'm not physically well I could make it worse and I really can't go through that again!! Xx

I'm so sorry. I've been there.

Nearly 15 weeks, private scan, little boy.
It's the most horrific thing to go through.
Let your body heal first so you can be at your strongest for another pregnancy.

Best of luck x

I'm so sorry to hear this 😔
It's the worst pain imaginable.

That's what I keep telling myself that I need to feel well again but I just feel like it's a constant circle of something new wrong.
Maybe psychological.
