Help? Advice?

Question

I recently miscarried in April,  and I honestly can't handling hearing about pregnancies, seeing them, talking about them anything. I'm so happy for them, but it kills me.  Any advice on how handle or get over it?  It makes me feel like a terrible person...

Answer

You might want to stick to the miscarriage support group for a while. I'm sure there are tons of women in your exact position who could help you out. Honestly, I don't want to sound rude but CC isn't somewhere you should be right now, if you're super sensitive to certain things. I'm really sorry for your loss. It will get better.

Answer

I had MC #2 not too long ago. I'm having the opposite reaction. Hearing the pregnancy announcements are making me happy and hopeful. The stories about other women having MCs help me feel not so alone, but honestly, they also terrify me about trying again. The happy newly pregnant women give me positive vibes for some reason, especially hearing them from women who overcame fertility problems or past losses.

Answer

It's a completely normal feeling. I know it well. The best way I have found is to have some humor about it.  I got this idea from someone else: whenever I see a pregnant woman, I say to myself, "that girl is super fat." Which is absolutely ridiculous and it makes me laugh at the absurdity of it.

Answer

I was in the same boat. Journaling helped me a lot. Also having someone who you can talk with honestly  about it also helps. I don't think I could of gotten past being bitter if I couldn't rant to my mom.

Answer

You are NOT a horrible person for feeling this way. Give yourself permission to grieve the loss, really feel it. It's okay to be sad.
