Miscarriage support

ncsmummy

Thanks all, thought I was having an ok day but this afternoon I cried on OH . I have talked to him a lot about it, he is fantastic. I used to suffer badly with panic attacks but I havent really had any for over a year but I have had a few over the last couple of days, I think its the stress. Totally lost me appetite to - everything tastes of nothing.

Hi NCS, so sorry to hear your news, take it easy & be kind to yourself. As others have said here there's no set timing for grief and for recovery. The board is really helpful for support, advice and a vent when you need it, I have found it a great support (thank you ladies x)
I'm now about 5 months post-mc, still having sad times (often after a trigger) but now just getting back to ttc and have found counselling & talking really helpful. Best wishes to everyone

hi ncsmummy,

sorry you're going through this. I completely echo what the other ladies have said, there's no right or wrong time frame for dealing with the grief and loss that come from mc, and it's a horrid, horrid, awful place to be.

huge hugs x

Hello

I had a miscarriage last week on 3rd April at 6 weeks while I was on holiday abroad. I'd only found out that I was pregnant a few days before we went on holiday. I am totally devastated and feel like my world has collapsed. It took OH and I 8 months to conceive this baby and I still can't believe I've lost him/her. We already have a 3.5 year old daughter who also took 8 months to conceive. I'm not getting any younger and I don't think I can handle waiting possibly another 8 months to try and conceive again.

Very sorry sparkly...it's devastating I know....there's nothing anyone can say to make it better, it's been 8 months since I had a miscarriage and I'm still sad and still trying, maybe later this year will be better for us all. Sincere condolences and I hope you get lots of support from those closest to you, take care xx

So sorry to hear this. I don't have much advice other than look after yourself, give yourself time to deal with things (physically and emotionally) and treat every day as a new one.

I'm very sorry sparkly. It's awful isn't it because not only are you not pregnant you've got this awful road of trying again stretching out infront of you.

I am trying 4 months on now, I just have to keep hoping.

You should join us on the ttc thread lots of us have had miscarriages & know how you feel. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Thank you for your kind messages Claire16C, Sweaty Betty and Jox.

Just feeling a bit alone at the moment because we hadn't told any of our friends and family that we were trying to conceive and not told anyone that we were pregnant so I have no one to talk to about this.

Really sorry to hear about your loss sparkly.
It's an utterly devastating time, and nothing helps when all you want is to still be pregnant.
This thread is great for support, and as clare says the ttc thread is alo great for general chat and also support from other women ttc as well.
Its a cliche I know, but time really will help. You never forget, but it does get easier with time.

So very sad to hear that, sparkly. It's really hard to handle when something like that happens but it must have hit you very hard to be away from home at the time - and at a time when you felt everything was going to be great. Please rest up as much as you can and don't be afraid to tell people what's happened even if they didn't know already about the pregnancy...you need care and consideration, and most people will be lovely to you.
Take care of yourself and post here as much as you want/need to.
MsB
