Dealing with miscarriage

[JT287]

Just looking for a bit of support and advice really. Currently experiencing my first miscarriage at around 4 wk 4 days. Was trying to conceive and started the bleeding following some faint positives yesterday. Gutted to say the least, but I’ve never gone through this to know what feels normal. Both me and my husband are incredibly upset, I just would appreciate some comforting words of advice / support from similar experiences to help through these tough early stages, and feel reassured there’s hope in us trying again some time.

thank you 🫶🏼

Sorry you’re going through this. It’s a really sad time.
When I went through it I found it helpful to remember that it happens to so so many people, it’s really common. I almost turned it in my mind into being something that is a normal part of the TTC process and most people experience it. That just helped me for some reason. Knowing that the majority of people with kids have probably also been through it made it feel less lonely.
If you have any friends who you know have been through it then maybe talk to them.
And remember that many many people who experience loss go on to have a baby.

❤️ ❤️ ❤️
im so sorry for your loss but also the whole experience of a miscarriage is shit. It can be physically painful and remember your hormones are all over the place.
ive had a couple of miscarriages and what I would say is it’s a massive shock but time does help.
If you feel comfortable and want to tell work and take some time off so you can heal and recover.
it’s good that your husband is clearly emotionally available and also showing his upset.
I would think about what you can do as a couple in the next few weeks ie go for a nice walk, drive somewhere nice for the day etc
go for a date. All sounds a bit trite but you need to look after yourselves and I’d also say take it day by day.
I immediately ttc again and we got pregnant and my head wasn’t in the right place (we had a miscarriage) so we waited longer, found out the reasons I was having miscarriages and didn’t rush into ttc x
