TTC After a Loss
Options

New here

Hi!

I read over the TTCAL blog, so I hope I don't ask/say something that people are tired of reading.

I had a missed mc at 8 wks. They did a D&C on December 21, which was.. horrible. It was the worst experience of my life.

I am trying to heal, but it seems like I have these weird mood swings. I don't want to be around certain people, either, for seemingly no reason. I feel like I've become antisocial. I feel like I'm overreacting because really eight weeks is nothing.. some people have it far, far worse than I could even imagine. 

Anyhoo, I was hoping I could join this board and connect with some women who are in the same boat.

    Welcome to the board! I'm so sorry for your loss ((hugs))

     Please do not feel like just because you lost your baby at 8 weeks that it was "nothing" You have every right to hurt just as much as anyone who's going through this.

    This board is great (I'm new too) and I've felt welcomed and happy to know that I have a group of people that I can talk to about how I'm feeling..knowing they all understand what I'm going through.

    Yes for reading the blog :)

    8 weeks isn't nothing! It's okay to be sad & upset, some people may have suffered worse things, but that doesn't make this less painful, less real, or less important.

    Yes  I'm sorry for your loss.  Welcome, I hope your stay here is short and sweet.

    SO sorry for your loss. 8 weeks is still a big deal in YOUR life and don't let anyone tell you otherwise! Yes, others may have been further along, but your life is the only one you wake up in every day! I went through that same phase of not caring to be social, etc etc. I will say time does heal, though of course I don't forget. I hope you find much comfort and support here!

    8 weeks is absolutely not nothing! I'm so sorry for your loss. I went through an antisocial phase for the couple months following my last miscarriage. It was too hard for me to act like nothing was bothering me and I didn't want to bring my friends down. Take time to heal. Those that know you well will understand and welcome you back with open arms and kind words once you're ready. I hope your stay here is short and good luck to you!
