I lost our first four weeks ago. It was awful, but as with most things in life, it does get better with time. Allow yourself to grieve as long as you need! Tell people if you need to, I found that was actually the best thing, because then people understand what you're going through, and you might find unlikely sources of support from random places.
Losin it
I miscarried last weekend. It was my first pregnancy and.. it sucks. It’s a double-edged sword not telling anyone. One one hand, there are less people to tell bad news to. On the other hand, it’s really isolating. I told a random stranger today.. and feel both mad at myself for probably ruining her break... but also a little bit better. It sucks to feel like I’m required to “get over it”. Is this timeframe actually something people expect? Or is this something we tell ourselves to prove we’re strong? I am strong. This just sucks.

I was pissed after my first miscarriage that no one talks about it and it’s taboo, when in reality it’s quite common. That said, 2.5 years and no kids later as I see my nieces and friends kids growing at the same age my 4 angel babies should have been, it does get somewhat less devastating but easier. Perhaps it’s not easier, we just get stronger. You’ll go on to have a healthy baby, this is very common, and your not alone. Take as much time to grieve as you need, and use this app to connect. Very important.
agree. For me, it has gotten harder as more time passes actually since we are still without another pregnancy. Once I started telling more people I found out how common it is and also was encouraged by the success stories of healthy subsequent pregnancies afterword. The worst is the complaining pregnant ladies at my work - still have a very very hard time being sympathetic when they eat a ton of fast food then whine about heartburn and getting “fat”
Ive lost 2 in the matter of months. I was in my 20s and life at that time was hectic and stressful. This year it would've been 12 years. I still think about it. Yes sometimes I cry. It does get better bit there's no time limit on this. Still ttc after being married 9 years to my hubby. At 36yrs old. But don't let someone tell you to get over it. Im sorry for your loss. Hugs.
