What do you think?

I think it’s refreshing. It resonates. I should have spoken about it at the time.
I did not.

I’m lay here with my hand over my stomach, just realised.
This is a hard watch I think.

I so wish I had someone who had gone through it to talk to. I had no one.
No one to talk to. No one who understood.

I’m not sure how I got through it if I’m honest.
They mention ptsd. I believe I suffered from this. I do.
But it was not recognised by me or anyone around me.

I could talk to people about it now if given the opportunity.
But still, I have no one. No one who has been where I have been.
It’s very lonely.
Even now, after everything I am profoundly affected.

I'm not watching. I am sorry for your loss. Do you want to talk about it here?

Pickypolly · 15/10/2020 23:13

Thank you for replying.
It’s an uncomfortable subject for many. I understand that.

I'm glad it feels like more people are open to talking about it and it's not something to hideaway anymore.

Didn't realise it was on. Hoping I can it on catch up over the weekend

Pickypolly · 16/10/2020 07:45

It was a very good watch.

Just watched it. I think the thing I found the hardest apart from the what ifs was how quickly everyone else around moved on. Sort of like oh well you've lost your Baby it no longer exists now so let's just forget about it. What people don't realise is that you still always think he or she would be this age now, what would we be doing for their first Christmas, first birthday. Watching everyone around you who have children posting pictures of Easter egg hunts etc etc whilst just sitting there thinking that should also be me

I've just watched it (couldn't watch last night as I was worried it would be too much on top of baby loss awareness day).

I've just had my 4th pregnancy loss and it completely resonated with me. It's absolutely heartbreaking. I know done we're a few years ago, but the experiences of the scans have sadly not changed and you're just left bereft, wondering what happened to your baby 😢 and when a couple of them spoke about the practicalities of what to do with your baby, it was really difficult to hear, hug I also went through the same and it's devastating.

I think it was helpful for me to watch as someone who has experienced recurrent losses and I think everyone should watch it - it really captured the rawness of the grief and how you're forever changed.

I hope you're OK OP. X

What channel was this on please ?

VenusStarr · 16/10/2020 17:11

@AnyFucker it was on channel 5 last night

AnyFucker · 16/10/2020 17:20

Thanks

Agree Lozz about people just moving on, carrying on and forgetting all about it quickly.
I didn’t expect anything more as it was my grief, my place to remember dates etc but it was as if nothing had ever happened.

venus I had reoccurring miscarriages, 7 in total, with each of them, the scan experience never improved.
The practicalities depended on the environment I was in.

The lady who described the pain, severe pain, that is the first tome I have heard anyone experience the pain. I thought I was a weirdo as it was never ever “like a heavy period” for me. I laboured until the baby passed out of me.
I needed morphine, gas & air to cope with the severity of it.
My treatment in hospital would make your toes curl if I were to describe it to you.
Horrendous.
