TTC After a Loss

Anxiety after a loss

is this normal. This feeling of uneasiness and anxiety is overwhelming me today. Is this normal? I had a d&c 4 days ago. I hate feeling like I could lose it or cry any moment.

Mom of one adorable little boy and excited to do this again.

Re: Anxiety after a loss

  • The grieving process takes a while. You may find certain milestones or events trigger it all over again, for years to come. It's something that wil always be with you, but it does get better with time. Be kind to yourself and allow yourself to feel whatever you need to feel for as long as you need.

  • I had a lot of anxiety issues the first week or two after my mc, but it eased up after that. There will be ups and downs for sure, but it will get easier over time. In the meantime, be kind to yourself and do whatever you need to do to stay healthy physically and emotionally.

  • Completely normal. I think we've all experience this to some degree. Go easy on yourself ((hugs))

  • I am exactly 14 weeks out from the day I found out our little one had no heartbeat (it absolutely kills me to write this)  That means my baby has been dead longer than alive.  I still have bad days, yesterday was a really bad day for me I just felt so alone in all of this and I cried and cried.  I'm so glad you found this board because I think it has been a saving grace through all of this to talk to people who genuinely get it. 

    Anyway I'm sorry about the tears, but they will come and go and with time get farther apart <3
