Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

Intro

I went in for my 16 week check up on Thursday and they couldn't find a heartbeat. The ultrasound showed that baby stopped growing at 13 weeks. This was my first pregnancy. My EDD was July 31st.

I had a D&C on Friday. Physically, I feel better than I expected. Emotionally, I'm all over the place. Sometimes I just don't know what to feel. Even though it's not time to TTC again, the thought of another loss frightens me.

We have custody of our 2 year old niece and she keeps me pretty distracted. If she wasn't here I think I would probably stay in bed all day.

I'm so sorry for everyone's losses. I wouldn't wish this pain on anyone.

Re: Intro

  • I'm so sorry for your loss. This was my first pregnancy too and I go for a d&c tomorrow. I'm glad this forum exists though that way I can say whatever is on my mind and you all understand and help me grieve and cope.
    Husband and I had the same conversation a couple days ago about how I'm so nervous to ttc after this fearing another loss. But he reminded me that if we put such pressure on ourselves about the worst case scenario we will always be afraid. If we weren't afraid, we wouldn't be human. There is always the possibility of it happening again, which I won't lie, would really suck, but our focus has to shift so we can possibly have better times to come, and if not, we will draw near each other again and get through it the same way we are now. He's my best friend through good times and bad and I wouldn't have chosen a better person to go through it with. Sorry so long, but I hope you find peace and comfort beyond your own understanding :)
  • So sorry for your loss, it sucks that any of us have to be here.

  • Sorry for your loss xo
  • I'm so sorry you're going through all of this. It was my first pregnancy too. I've spent as much time as possible with our nieces and my kids at work as its difficult to focus on much else with them around. Take care of yourself. Hugs.
