How to cope?

Question

Today I would be 5 weeks pregnant. But I woke up feeling like total crap. I had a terrible feeling from the second I saw two lines on a pregnancy test. I've been so worried something wasn't right...and sure enough. I miscarried today. This was my second pregnancy. Thankfully I have a beautiful 10 month old baby girl, but I was really really excited about another baby. This is my first and only miscarriage. I'm struggling to deal with the loss. Help?

Answer

I lost my baby on Saturday between 8 and 9 weeks and my heart is shattered. I honestly don't have a lot of insight on how to cope with it because it's a pain and sadness like no other. I'm a firm believer in everything happens for a reason but that isn't going to ease the pain. I've just been trying to take it one day at a time. Each day I cry less and feel a little better, my appetite is slowly coming back and I am trying to pull myself out of bed. All I can say is you are not alone. Just do the best you can each day, grieve as much as you need to, cry when you need to, don't hold it in. I'm so sorry for your loss and pray the universe will give you a happy and healthy rainbow baby.

Answer

I had a miscarriage today....i totally understand how you feel. It's so difficult right now as we were so happy last week and now so sad...take it one day at the time. Talk about it with your partner and your friend. Don't be shy to cry it's normal. Well it's my first miscarriage too but i feel thats its normal to cry after you lost a baby. I was 5 weeks pregnant too but you already love that baby as soon as you know its in there. Be strong and take it one day at the time. Xox
