So I’ve recently found out I’m pregnant, having had a really tough end/ beginning to this year…going back in October I wasn’t in a great place (mentally & financially)& fell pregnant, my partner & I decided not to go ahead with the pregnancy. Long story short it resulted in a really traumatic experience and me instantly regretting our decision. Then early January this year, my father in law suddenly passed, due to stress I experienced heavy bleeding which resulted in me actually having an unknown miscarriage……now I’m here 2 months after losing our baby and going through so much trauma & stress. I’m kind of in denial right now, I have 3 lovely children already my oldest being 7 & my youngest soon to be turning 1 next week. I just honestly don’t know how to feel right now or to even have an inkling on what to… soo I’d love some kinds words & advice
thanks L. xx

Hi, so sorry to hear about what you have been through. I can totally relate and you are not alone. I terminated a pregnancy in December at 7 weeks due to prenatal depression/anxiety and my life has been hell ever since. Sorry to hear that you also suffered a family loss shortly after as well as a miscarriage. Life can really really suck sometimes! I would recommend you find a therapist and talk through all your feelings of grief. It does not just magically go away I’ve found, really need to prioritize mental health and wellbeing first. I already have two children so I am really also trying to focus on them and being present with them right now. Its hard, sending you hugs!

Thankyou so much, I appreciate your reply! I’m so sorry to hear that for you, all these big decisions in life are certainly not easy and definitely weigh heavy on us, especially being a mom. Honestly it really can suck at the best of times, but us mothers we just have to keep plodding along no matter what gets thrown at us! Yes definitely, I think I will try therapy as I just tend to bury things other than try to actually deal with them, I guess that’s an easy option for me like you say especially with having other children!! Honestly it means so much to me to even have a reply back, thank you for you kind words! I wish you well, sending big hugs back.
