Forum for miscarriage notices?

Question

Hi all, I'm in no way meaning to come off Insensitive because I can't even imagine how hard it must be to go through a loss, but I'm really struggling with coming on here and seeing posts about people having miscarriages everyday. I'm already so anxious and worried about that happening and I am just wondering if there was a separate group or area where people can post about such tragedies and get the support they are looking for. Anyone else feeling this way? Again, not in any way saying you shouldn't be posting about it if that's what helps you get through it. Just thinking there could be a separate place for such posts.

Answer

I think your anxiety is yours to manage,  and it's unfair to ask other women to direct their feelings elsewhere because you are unable to sympathize with another woman's loss without projecting it on yourself. 
This is reality. A large group of women joined this group,  expecting babies in June, and a not insignificant number will lose their babies before June. That's scary,  and I get that. But it seems cold hearted to ask these grieving women to mourn elsewhere because you don't like it. 
Be kind. Offer comfort where you can,  send your good thoughts,  and take the opportunity to feel grateful that today you are still pregnant,  and still expect to be hold your baby this coming June. Not everyone will be so lucky,  and a little bit of empathy will go a long way in their lives,  and in yours.

Answer

So women that were due during the same time frame can not state how their pregnancy is (not) progressing? To be 100% honest, if seeing other people's reality upsets you that much maybe social media is not for you. A miscarriage is a possibility for every single pregnant woman. Asking them to stop talking about it or to announce it in a different group is just rude.

Answer

I think you should of thought more about this before posting it. No matter what this is/was thier birth month and it's ok to come and ask for advice or share good expierences but not the unfortunate ones? I've had 2 losses and could very easily have a 3rd due to issues that I have and I don't get upset when people post about easy healthy pregnancies. Pregnancy loss is unfortunately very common and they should feel like they are welcomed to post here for the support of others.

Answer

I don't think you were being rude by posting this. In fact you were very careful in what you said. I see both sides of the coin. Of course any woman going through something tragic should be able to seek comfort and/or advice. But I also don't feel like these women should be so offended at the feelings of other women who are expressing their sadness when constantly reading about such experiences. I understand your feelings completely.

Answer

I encourage all women that have lost their pregnancy to comment on this post, and let this person know exactly why we have a right to discuss our pregnancy loss and help women that are going through it now on this forum

Answer

I like this page because I can kind of anonymously talk about all this pregnancy stuff. And I think if I had a miscarriage I would like it to do the same. And it's helpful in both scenarios to read about what is going on with other people physically and emotionally. It makes me a little sad and worried when I see someone post about a miscarriage but it's nice to know that if something similar happened to me I would have this group to talk to.

Answer

I'm so glad you put this out there. I can't help myself and often find myself clicking on stories I know will add to my anxiety. I agree 100% about having a forum specifically to support mom's and dad's experiencing this kind of pain, maybe a board/category just for it?

Answer

There is but current members are just saying goodbye and wishing well... That's all. I haven't seen anything other than that, unless I missed something.

Answer

Is it the word itself that upsets you? I just can't comprehend how it makes you that anxious/uncomfortable. Don't read the posts if it's that upsetting.

Answer

I've lost 2, had 1 and hopefully continuing on my way to have my 2nd. Miscarriages are a very real thing, and are very scary. It is normal to worry about one. It's crazy to me that so many people still can't handle hearing about them. It's part of us, just like having a live child is. So many woman go through them and I think it's comforting to know they aren't alone and comforting to know that so many are able to have healthy pregnancies afterwards. Hence why it's posted in a "pregnancy" forum. If you don't want to read the stories, just don't click on them 😊
