I had a mmc at 11 weeks. Baby was doing great at my 7 week appointment. I had a d&c the last day of September. It honestly just takes time to grieve. In the beginning, I constantly thought about the baby and what could've been. I cried myself to sleep most nights. I feel selfish some days for not thinking of the baby constantly, but I know it's just a grieving process. I also had two healthy pregnancies before and this was my first miscarriage. It does get better in time. I'm here if you need to talk ❤️
D&c today… feeling sad
Found out yesterday at 10 weeks that there was no heartbeat, and baby must’ve passed sometime after our last appointment (which was at 7 weeks when we first heard the heartbeat). I had a d&c this morning. I don’t know what I’m looking for, this is my first miscarriage. I guess just wondering about other people’s experiences after a d&c or any tips on dealing with all of these emotions that come along with miscarrying😓 its just crazy thinking about how yesterday morning I was pregnant and excited and pumped to be almost done with the first trimester, having no idea anything was wrong, and now the baby is just… gone. I feel empty. it’s like I’m fine one second and then it hits me like a ton of bricks and I break down again. My husband and I have an amazing support system and great friends who I’ve been able to talk to. I am just so sad. If you have read this far thank you for listening. ❤️😞

I’m so sorry you are going through this. Do whatever you need to do to take care of yourself, and don’t be afraid to let your feelings be as big as they are. Scream, cry, yell. Grieve however feels proper to you. I’ve lost 4 babies over 3 pregnancies (the last was twins), and it is brutal every time no matter the gestational age. I know what it’s like to be shellshocked after seeing a heartbeat, thinking everything was fine. Something that helped me was to honor each baby and especially to keep tokens or visual reminders that they existed. It’s so hard to just have a baby suddenly *gone* from your body. Hang in there, I’ll be sending you so many good vibes.
