Depression and anxiety

2 Replies

After suffering a miscarriage almost a year ago I have still yet to emotionally recover. I was 17 when I had my daughter now 8 years on I am 25 and engaged to a wonderful man and in such a good steady time in my life that naturally I wanted another child and a brother or sister for my daughter and to experience having a child and a partner to share it all with, totally different to the experience I had at 17. I feel so ready. When I found out I was pregnant I literally cried my eyes out I was so happy and excited and ready. Then at 8 weeks pregnant the dream was ripped away and I was totally distraught as was my partner. A few months after the misscarage we decided maybe we would benefit from having a bigger home if we are growing our family. We are currently renting but have decided to move in with relatives to save to buy a house. Now we cannot try for a baby as our plans have changed with our living situation and I am terrified of having to wait a few more years to have a baby as 1, the broody level is through the roof 2, the miscarriage has left me feeling like there is a little hole in my heart left empty 3, I'm terrified if there is something wrong with me due to the miscarriage happening and having to wait a few years before even trying again has made me super anxious to wether my body will carry a baby and if I'll wait all this time just to have another gut wrenching miscarriage. I don't know how to get this off my mind. Any advice would be amazing, please x

Hidden -- Your desire to have a house in the near future seems to be standing in the way of your desire to have a baby soon.
