Anyone else struggling with al the miscarriage posts?

Question

I’m 5 weeks pregnant and riddled with anxiety about loosing the baby and I’ve noticed there’s a lot of posts about past or current miscarriages in the group and it’s scaring the life out of me. 
(Please don’t think I’m saying people shouldn’t be discussing there experience and looking for support. I was just wondering if anyone was struggling with it like I was) 
Maybe I should delete the app for a little while 😩

Answer

The post don’t upset or bug me 
However I have had 6 miscarriages myself and know the pain and the need for support 
1 in every 4 pregnancy end in miscarriage-  
We need to support each other! Just not with the morning sickness, etc but also those that due experience a loss
A very close family member and I found out we were due the same day and her sadly just ended in miscarriage 
Anyways, thinking of all the moms who have had to experience a loss

Answer

My first pregnancy ended in miscarriage . When I posted on here about it I had so so much support. I was so scared my first pregnancy that I was going to miscarry and unfortunately I did. Miscarriage really sucks and it’s so unfair but the truth is that about 20 percent of pregnancies end in miscarriage .

Answer

I think there’s always going to be things on the app that make you nervous or that you don’t want to see. I had a miscarriage my first pregnancy and until I did, I did not realize how many women I work with who have and family members too. 1 in 4 pregnancies will miscarry. It is incredibly common so people will post about it. It’s also scary as hell so when you go through it & you want advice because honestly I felt like my doctors office was just like “well, you’re not pregnant. Go home and if you get clots go to ER. Call us when pregnant again.” So I think a lot of women come to Glow for support because my experience and many I have talked to have been the same.
I also tried for almost a year and I remember both during TTC and post miscarriage seeing all the announcement posts on here or even on my social media that would put me in tears and make me wish it were me. For a long time I deleted almost all the groups because I kept seeing happy pregnancy posts and I wasn’t pregnant and desperately wanted to be.
This pregnancy I am cautiously excited. Honestly, the posts do not bother me since I went through miscarriage. They remind me that this journey comes with a lot of bumps and ups and downs. I don’t think I will not be nervous until after 10-12 weeks.

I feel you! I'm 5 weeks 3 days and I've seen so many posts. It makes me anxious and a little worried. Fiancee and I have been trying for 2 years and we finally got our positive.

Answer

I hide them as soon as I see them. I already have enough anxiety after infertility.

Answer

Omg I’m feeling exactly the same, I’m completely riddled with anxiety! 
I’ve booked in for an early scan, at 7 weeks, for peace of mind. Hoping that it will reassure me that everything is okay. 
Sending love and hugs!

Answer

I’d say if you think you wouldn’t feel that anxious if you didn’t see the posts than it’s a good idea to delete the app. 
If it’s just something you’d feel anxious about anyways though than it’s fine to keep it.
One of the hardest lessons for me in our journey has been that TTC and pregnancy is just scary at all stages. I had a mc and my good friend has a healthy pregnancy but bled for a month of it. There’s so many bumps in the road and it’s just hard. 
Take care of your mental health first and delete if you need too!

Answer

I think deleting the app for a while is a good idea. My first pregnancy ended in miscarriage at 6 weeks in October and I’m really trying to stay positive this time around but every time I see a miscarriage post, it brings back everything from October. I’ve thought about deleting it too.

Answer

I’m the same way- I’m 5 weeks and so sacred that it won’t stick!

Answer

Don’t be anxious. Iv had 2 in the past year and I’m currently 5 weeks pregnant with my little rainbow. I’m so scared it will happen again but I’m not going to stressed unless it actually does. I’m just staying positive and thinking of a beautiful outcome now. ❤️
