Am I a horrible person for feeling this way?

Question

I'm 8w 2d and I'm not excited for this pregnancy. Last year I had a missed miscarriage. I lost my baby around 8 weeks. I didnt find out till my 12 week scan. After that i had to have not one but two dncs. 
Until this week I was jumping with joy and just wanted to tell everyone. Now I don't even want to get out of bed I don't want to eat or even talk to anyone, not even my husband. 
What's wrong with me..? 😭

Answer

You sound depressed. Which is completely understandable, you’ve had a major loss. You’re not alone! Please consider speaking to a therapist. It’s just a safe place to help work out your feelings and gain perspective.

Answer

I had the same thing happen to me. I'm now 10 weeks and i feel like the same thing will happen when I go in for a scan next week. I think it's normal to feel this way. I don't want to become attached just for them to tell me the baby stopped developing. We are probably just putting on a defense just in case.

Answer

You’re not a horrible person. I think how you’re feeling is totally normal. My last pregnancy ended the same way and I was the exact same way.  I was happy in the beginning but once I hit 8 weeks all the nerves hit me at once! Just try to take it day by day mama

Answer

I’m feeling similar. This is my first pregnancy, and I have my first ultrasound on Friday. I’m so terrified to hear bad news, so I’ve been subconsciously preventing myself from getting too excited. I really want to just be happy during this time, but there’s that ever-present doubt in my mind.

Answer

I feel the same way. I was over the moon a few weeks ago when we found out and now I'm just keeping my cool until we go to our scan Thursday. We had a miscarriage in may and I was 10 weeks but measuring at 8w 5d.. when I go Thursday I will only be approx 7w 3d & I don't think I'll feel confident until my second scan two weeks after that. It's nerve wracking. I just don't want to get attached just to be let down again.

Answer

I’m feeling the same way. I have my first appointment tomorrow and I am 8weeks 2 days and so scared.

Answer

I’m so glad that someone else feels the way I do cause that’s exactly how I feel right now I also found out at my 12 week scan that I miscarried around 9 weeks.

Answer

I’ve been this way my entire pregnancy. I’m 11 weeks and just too scared to be happy.

Answer

This sounds like you have a defense mechanism up. I’m 7 weeks 2 days and I’m terrified of it not working out. If I had previously had a mc no doubt I would be even more in my head. I imagine that it will get better over time when you have more reassurance things are going well. It’s hard this early when you don’t physically see a true bump or feel any movements.  Wishing you a healthy pregnancy!
