Intro. Still shocked

[nitecheese]

Hi everyone.

I'm 31. DH is 34. We have one DS who is seventeen months old.

I had my first MC today and I'm just feeling numb and scared and awful. I was 5w4d.

Going to read and wallow for a bit.

Just trying to figure out how to navigate all these feels.

I am so sorry you are joining us, but welcome. This is a great place for support. You need to take care of yourself right now. Grieving is a confusing process so just take things slowly. I've been here for two weeks and these ladies are wonderful! Lots of ((hugs)) being sent to you during this difficult time.

I am so sorry for your loss. As you navigate your grief, I think it's helpful to remember that there is no right or wrong way to do this. I think sometimes our reactions surprise us and the best we can do is be gentle with ourselves as we're going through the unthinkable.

Big hugs. I'm sorry you're here, but I'm glad you found us.

nitecheese, I'm so sorry for your loss and that you find yourself here but welcome. We all understand the Rollercoaster of emotions during and after a loss. We are here for you to help you navigate through it *hug*

[nikolie93]

nitecheese, how are you holding up?

Just wanted to offer some *hugs*

[nitecheese]

Thank you, everyone. I'm hanging in. I met with my midwife on Monday, which was comforting. She gave us the go ahead to try again when we're ready, and let me cry and be generally unreasonable. DH has helped, but is of the, "move on and you'll feel better" mindset. Sigh.

I'm all too familiar with the "move on" mentality. I'm sorry, that's hard. I understand that our husbands experience a loss as well and I don't like to downplay that but I really think it's a bit different for us ladies since we physically go through it, as well as mentally.

Even though you were given the clear make sure you're mentally ready to start trying again.

*hugs*

I'm so sorry for you loss. These ladies here are a huge support. Be easy on yourself and take your time to deal with things. nikolie93 is right, our husbands experience loss too, but sometimes in a very different way than us who carried these babies.
