Moving on

Just found out I have had a miscarriage, absolutely distraught 😭 not even sure how many weeks I was due to this journey not being great from the start. How do you, when do you, think about or decide that you want to try again? I just feel at the moment that I don’t know how I’m going to move on from this. I am lucky enough to have an 18 month old so I am blessed but it still hurts.

I had a miscarriage a week ago now and I have been consumed by wanting to try again as soon as possible, the empty feeling is hard to describe and I want nothing more than to fall pregnant again! My mom said she felt exactly the same with her mc however you also see people put off trying again. I think you will know when you’re feeling mentally ready, personally the first few days were horrible and like you I have another young child so I kinda forced myself to pull it together for them with the help of my mom and I am feeling a bit better physically and mentally, still very sad but able to carry on with life

@Tee it’s just indescribable, and it’s the what ifs and what could have beens that hurt. I’m not sure what I’m thinking or feeling other than upset right now but it’s hard to think forward. Blessed and thankful to have my boy to keep me going x

I felt that way too. I hugged my toddler so tight when I had my First MC. I’ve since had another. So I just feel ultra lost right now. Thinking it’s time for me to stop trying but also worry because I am approaching 40.

@Lisa I’m so sorry to hear that! It’s so hard when it’s something you really want. I feel like that, people keep saying I’m still young but I don’t feel it and said I’d want another one within the next 2 years and this one was unexpected so we were so happy and now it’s just such an empty feeling, even though we have our boy who we love soo much, still leaves a hole xx
