Miscarriage Announcement?

Question

We didn't tell anyone we were pregnant. We lost our daughter full term in April, and we wanted to keep this one quiet for a little while. I told a couple good friends and workout buddies. But this past Tuesday, we miscarried what was twins. I feel like I lost two more babies, even though they only measured 6 weeks. I feel like I'm a mom of 7, even though I've now lost three. I feel like I shouldn't mourn, that it shouldn't hurt. But I also think it isn't something I should have to keep secret. If it was you, would you post about it? Would you tell people? Would you count the loss as children? I've never been through this and I'm so confused. I let myself get attached to this one. We named it. I imagined giving birth to a breathing, screaming baby. I didn't even see the miscarriage coming. It just freaking happened. ):

Answer

We publicly announced our first miscarriage back in April, but we are going through another one now and I think I might stay quiet about this one. I just don’t want people feeling sorry for me. Although, I have told my immediate family and only a few very close friends, as they are my support system.

Answer

I’m so sorry for what you’re going through. I miscarried my first pregnancy at 7w4d. We hadn’t gone public with it, but enough people knew that I had to tell people what happened. I’m usually an open book and for me, talking about the loss helped. I considered that my baby and mourned like it. My husband and I grieved. I even got a tattoo for the baby. 
This pregnancy started as a triplet pregnancy and we lost two of them about 12 weeks. Though it’s equally as sad, this has been a different mourning process, but they are our children, too. I will eventually add to my tattoo (when safe to do so) to commemorate these babies too. 
I don’t feel like there’s any right or wrong way to go through this process. Do what you feel is best for you. Lots and lots of hugs and baby dust for your future. ❤️

Answer

Lost our second pregnancy at 8 weeks. And I definitely mourned! And we told our families and now I speak about it openly. It’s made me feel better. It was a wanted baby and speaking about it makes it feel real and not forgotten.

Answer

I miscarried twice. I was on birth control both times. It’s hard to not think about it. My kids still remember my last pregnancy. It’s harder on my daughter (my oldest. I lost my first one at 18. My then boyfriend woke me up because we were covered in blood. His mom and grandma knew. We still talk about it from time to time since I am pregnant with my 3rd successful pregnancy and he’s a dad too. I lost my second at 27. I went to the health dept and piss test didn’t pop. Even though my belly did. The nurse kept asking me if I was sure I wasn’t pregnant. I was going in to get an IUD. The dr and his nurse asked me. Well 4 weeks later I ended up violently sick, throwing up, blacking out, and ripping it out at home. *There was a snow storm that iced the roads so bad people abandoned their cars*. The following day I saw my baby.

Answer

If you feel like it, do it. Its something people barely talk about but needs more to talk about really. People don't know sometimes how hard it is. I would talk and be open about it definitely.

Answer

We told our families of the miscarriage at 12 w3eks even though they hadn't known I was pregnant with my first. It felt like the right thing to do. And I feel like miscarriage shouldn't be such a secret.
