Coping after miscarriage when everyone around you is either pregnant or giving birth?!?!

Question

I’m having trouble it’s been a month since I miscarried and it’s still hard. Me and my boyfriend are trying again this cycle but I can’t help but feel sad and angry when I find out that yet another person I know is pregnant. It’s a struggle because I hate feeling this way towards another persons blessing that has never been me yet I just can’t help it. It’s just a reminder that I’m not pregnant anymore and I’m back where I started. Has anyone felt this way if so how did you cope???

Answer

I'm fighting with the same feelings. I miscarried at 5 weeks on May 8th. I just started yesterday and had a gender reveal to go to yesterday for a co-worker. It was so hard to do. She started trying stuff months after my husband and I and end up pregnant a few months later. I found out I was pregnant on April 28th. We lost the baby 1.5 weeks later. This has been the hardest thing I've ever gone through. I go to work everyday and have to be around it. Yes I am happy for her but it doesn't make my pain any less. It makes it harder. This period I'm having now is heavier and I have clots. I didn't think that it would be this hard but it reminds me of when I miscarried. People think that we should just be able to move on and get on with our lives but I had to call into work because of not only the physical pain from my period but also what I am going through emotionally. I wish I had the answers for you but I don't. All I can say is sometimes it's not even taking it day by day.....you literally have to take it hour by hour. Big hugs to you.

Thank you I’m sorry that your going through this but on the other hand there’s comfort in knowing someone feels the same way you do. Especially since no one else can relate. That’s the other trouble with this after a while everyone else moves on or they’ve said all they can and there ends up being no one to talk to at least that’s how I’m feeling. And I experienced the same with my first period after my miscarriage. It was scary I thought I was having another miscarriage but then it settled down and now I’m just dealing with my hormones being out of wack. Luckily the physical part should pass soon. I appreciate you taking your time out to share your story I hope it gets easier and that our time will come soon!
