Miscarried

[Elephy]

I had a miscarriage 2 days ago at around 6 weeks and 6 days and I am devastated. It was my first pregnancy at 28 and I was unsure if I was even able to conceive. We were so happy when we found out and its just gone like that..

I have so many emotions going on and I feel so sad for my partner too as he is devastated although he's doing everything for me, being so supportive.

Don't know when I'm going to be able to continue as normal.

I am so sorry for your loss. Miscarriage is so hard because you are grieving the pregnancy but also the hope and plans and excitement too. Its so cruel that such a happy event can be taken away from you so suddenly.

You need to take time to come to terms with it, you will start to feel more normal again and ready to TTC again I promise. And it is quite common to miscarry your first pregnancy but then go on to have a successful one next time round. Time and biology and stats are on your side I promise. But for now just take the time to cry and grieve together and over time you will feel stronger again xx

Hi Elephy, my heart goes out to you as I know how emotionally painful this experience is. I also lost my first pregnancy in the 10th week and had no clue what I was going to be told when I went in for my regular checkup that morning. I thought everything was going fine with my pregnancy as I had no bleeding, no pain, nothing. I didn't even know what a missed miscarriage was until that day. To say I and my husband were in shock when the doctor told us there was no heartbeat anymore is a massive understatement. I went through all the emotions at the time, cried a lot, watched friends and other colleagues announce pregnancies and just throught life isn't fair but eventually you do come back to feeling yourself. In my experience the loss and sadness will always be there but time is most certainly on your side and I hope if and when you become pregnant again you never have to receive this crushing news again. For now, take care of yourself and your partner and give yourselves time to heal.
