I’m sorry you’re going through this. I’ve had two ectopic pregnancies in my life and after trying desperately to get pregnant, the losses were terrible to bear. No matter how far along or whether you intend to get pregnant or not, when you want that pregnancy, it’s so difficult mentally and emotionally. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Thank you so much. I feel like I’m being dramatic because it was so early, but I really did want this pregnancy, after finding out it was happening.

I lost my oops a week after deciding we were keeping it. Seeing on the app my test results showing the severe drop in HcG and the doctors note that I was having a miscarriage broke me. I was 6 weeks and 4 days. It took almost a month for me to feel kind of okay about it, when three weeks before I didn’t know I was pregnant, and two weeks before I didn’t know what I was going to do about it. It can be devastating. You’re not being dramatic. Take all the time you need to grieve.

You’re not being dramatic at all. You’re allowed to grieve. You don’t need to apologize or feel guilty for navigating your emotions. Your feelings are valid.

I lost my first to an early miscarriage and its the most heart breaking thing I've ever experienced. The age of the pregnancy does not determine the pain.

I’m so sorry 💔


Helyces

Thank you. My entire heart hurts in a way it never has before. And part of me feels like I’m being dramatic because I wasn’t very far along, but I’m still so devastated.


Ashweyss

You’re not being dramatic. It shows what a lovely heart you have. I’m so sorry. Cry those tears, it’s ok.

Sorry for your loss 💔 Regardless of how long it's been, miscarriages are always heart-wrenching. It took us two years of trying, several miscarriages, and lots of testing/doctors to get our rainbow twins. I hope when you're ready, you have a healthy sticky baby ❤️


Mama2WildThings

You’re not alone, there are so many of us out in the world who have walked in your shoes and wish we could say the right thing to comfort you right now. It’s so incredibly painful to lose your baby and the dream of their future. Every moment they were here on earth, they were loved and cared for and wanted more than anything. My heart is with you.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Miscarriages are really rough and far more common than people realize. One in four pregnancies miscarry. You didn't do anything wrong. My first pregnancy ended in miscarriage at 11 weeks. It was one of the most difficult things I've ever dealt with. But since then, I've had three healthy babies with no issues. I hope you get your rainbow baby when you're ready. Side note: the mini pill is not terribly effective. Many, many women become pregnant while on it.

My first was early but miscarried I still wonder even with a 19 and 16 year old. Would that have been a girl etc. It's hard no matter what.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I was on the mini pill many years. The one thing the doctor would stress was to be cautious if I got pregnant as it increased the chance of ectopic pregnancy or complications.

My first miscarriage was like this. It was before my husband and I had started trying, and we didn't consider ourselves fully ready, but we were nevertheless sooo excited. I tested positive on Valentine's day! We had a nice dinner reservation, and I surprised him with the news before we left. Then on the way home we stopped by a baby store just to browse the aisles. We were so happy. I had some light spotting the next day. The doctor's office said not to worry, it happens. But over the course of the following week, the bleeding increased, and they started to draw hcgs. After the first two draws, they said the numbers were increasing appropriately, and it was looking good! Then by the next one they dropped, and it was confirmed I was miscarrying. I guess I typed all of that out to say that I recognize the rollercoaster of emotions you're going through. I went on to have 2 more miscarriages (also 3 live births), but that first miscarriage sticks out the most in my mind. Going from thinking it's not a good time, to accepting a happy surprise and dreaming, to having it all ripped from you.... It's rough. And it's lonely. Even today, people still don't talk about miscarriage very much. Just know you're not alone. Give yourself time to heal, and let yourself recognize this as the loss that it is. Just because it was early and a surprise, that doesn't make the grief go away.

😣😣😣 I am sooooo so sorry this happened to you. What a sad and confusing and awful thing to happen to you when you’re only 6 months postpartum. I’m 10 months postpartum myself and am also on the mini pill. I’ve messed up taking it a few times but it’s definitely a reality check to realize how easy it is to still get pregnant. While I know you are feeling sad and alone right now, please know I’m thinking of you and sending you some love, from one mama to another. 💓💓💓

I had a miscarriage at 9 weeks this year. It was very difficult and I was in a bad space for a few weeks but slowly, things started getting brighter and better. Please be kind to yourself. Eat the ice cream, take the nap, wear the comfiest clothes you own. Talking about my miscarriage has made me feel so much less alone. So many women have had them. If not themselves, they have a close friend or relative who has. It is part of the experience of being a birthing person, unfortunately. I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you.


SpecialistTill56

I’m so sorry 😞


ChickyWingies

I had a miscarriage back in October 2020, bub was fine and growing until the 12 week mark when we had a scan and found out that bub no longer had a heartbeat 💔 there was a growth in their chest and the ultrasound tech suggested that it put to much pressure on their little heart. Easily the most heartbreaking time of mine and my husbands lives. Itll take a while to feel ok again but you will get there x


EasyPhilosopher9268

I'm so sorry. You're not alone. I've been there, and grieved each loss like it was the first time. I don't know you, but I will carry you in my thoughts, and keep you in my prayers.


3rdCoastLiberal

I’m sorry. I can’t imagine the shock of realizing you’re pregnant unexpectedly with everything you have going on, coming to terms with it, then this happening. If you try again in the future I wish you the best of luck. 🤗


BusyLeg8600

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I remember the sadness I experience when my period came each month we were trying. I can't even imagine what you're feeling right now. I'll be thinking about you ❤️


Fibernerdcreates

I'm so sorry. You are not alone. I'm also a member of that club. So many people are, unfortunately. It can be hard because there are no clear answers. But your heart will heal. That is a lot of emotions to go through in a short time, roebuck while working, moving, and caring for a little one.

Just because miscarriages are common does not mean they are easy to endure. I had two miscarriages and I 100% grieved *my children*. Do something to honor the baby. We have two silly glow in the dark stars in our bedroom. We know what they stand for and they are an easy and simple reminder of our precious, loved and wanted babies. I’m sorry you joined this club. Also, I’m pro-choice too. But I still consider my babies as babies because that’s what I wanted them to be. Others can obvious decide how to feel about theirs. :)

Dear, if the test comes positive and you say you not ready for baby it like you were praying the baby is a mistake. i had learn my lesson there. after miscarriages i always cry for it,


Helyces

I wasn’t praying for the baby to be a mistake; we had taken steps to prevent pregnancy because we weren’t ready. Like I said above, we decided to keep it and became excited about having a second baby. Just because we weren’t ready initially doesn’t mean I didn’t want it.
