Anybody else going through a miscarriage? I was 7+3 when it stopped growing and 3 scans have confirmed no heartbeat. Feel numb and hate the waiting

Big hugs I have been there myself. Please be kind to yourself and give yourself time to heal xx

I suffered a miscarriage in June, I'm so sorry you're going through this. It's the worst kind of grief. Be kind to yourself, make sure to communicate with your partner and lean on each other. Take as much time as you need to grieve. When you're feeling more up to talking about it, consider some sort of grief counselling/therapy if you can afford it.
I was told planting a tree in memory or lighting a candle can be therapeutic, however neither of those appealed to me. I wrote a letter to my baby, might sound odd but I found it helpful to write about the hope and dreams I had for that baby and just get out how I was feeling.
Sending you lots of love Thanks

Thanks for replying. I do need to speak to my dh but I'm finding him very irritating. He keeps trying to hug me but I feel like he doesn't mean it and if I hug him bag it's like a charade. I think it's just the grief. I just want to go to my mums really but I know that's not very grown up and will just drive a wedge between us

I know what you mean, I struggled with my partner in the early days as he just didn't seem as upset about it as me and kept trying to 'cheer me up' and I didn't want to be cheery, I just wanted to wallow and grieve for a while.
If you need to see your mum, go and see her. Tell your hubby that you just need your mum right now, I think that's perfectly understandable given what happened.
He's probably just grieving in his own way. I think in general men really struggle to process their emotions especially when it comes to things like this, especially if they feel like they need to be 'the strong one' which is how my partner admitted he felt.
