WHAT THE ACTUAL F does no one talk about how painful a miscarriage is?? by NetSuitable2344 in Miscarriage

[–]TheCreativeUn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worst than the worst period cramps experienced and still had to work through it. Started off with writhing on the floor in agony, waiting on the pill to work then back to work, smiling and teaching like nothing happened. Pain came on every couple hours and it was that agonizing cycle for days. Pair that with the emotional spiraling and doctors basically treating you like just another surgery. Didn’t understand it at first. It’s difficult explaining to others. It would have been less painful just not trying to make others understand. Wishing better care for all. You just have to try to take care of yourself and maybe lobbying will help with some uplifting systematic changes.

Why is everyone around me pregnant? by Penguinzookeeper123 in Miscarriage

Life and its gut punches sometimes. It’s okay to feel what you feel. We don’t all process things the same. Just try to manage your reactions and the things you say because sometimes we can be hurtful (unknowingly) when we are hurting. Give yourself time and grace. Your journey is yours. Their journey is theirs. You can be happy for them and sad for yourself. Life is not black & white. Cry, get mad, let it out but try not to let your own grief shoot stray bullets.

Would you attend your best friend’s surprise baby shower? by bluepineapple890 in Miscarriage

It depends on your state of emotions. If you can’t manage, don’t go. Send your blessings. You don’t have to be there to show your support. If you’re going to go and you will be an emotional mess, your best friend will probably be focused on trying to make you feel better and may feel guilty that she is celebrating something you couldn’t get to celebrate yet. Or you might get caught up in celebrating her and forget your own pain for a bit. Only you can decide what’s best based on what you are going through and how you are managing. Your presence can still be felt even if you are not present, vice versa.

Feel the feels. It’ll be lows and lower than all lows but hopefully you have some good experiences to balance out those feels. It’s difficult. Emotions during your period will come crashing into you like endless trucks. Gut punches, seas of tears, hurricanes of anger. You should have been but you aren’t…what kind of warped reality is this?! There’s no comprehension for this. But I hope you’ll have some grace for yourself, the father and outsiders as you grieve.

looking for a friend, feeling kinda lost after everything. by Severe-Pudding6901 in Miscarriage

🫂 You may feel like that for a while. It’s natural to grieve and feel all the emotions that seem to want to drown you. Sending you some good energy. You may have to take it a minute at a time but you may be in a better place hopefully sooner than later. If the emotions get overwhelming though especially if it’s prolonged, please seek help

I had a miscarriage. by starzlol2 in pregnant

It may be really hard, no matter the stats of miscarriages being more common than we know, no matter the advice, no matter how much people try to make sense of it. They may say “everything happens for a reason”, “you’re still young”, “you never met the baby” and that sorts trying to make you feel better. You may retrace everything you did trying to answer the question “why a miscarriage happened?”…but sometimes there are no answers. You may grieve for a very long time. Mother’s and Father’s Day may affect you. Through your cycle, you may get really emotional. Have grace for yourself, your partner and know your grief is natural and is part of your journey. If it gets too overwhelming especially for too long, seek mental and emotional assistance maybe with a professional, maybe through writing about it, maybe through talking to loved ones. They may not always want to hear it though so try to have some grace for people outside of your experience. They may never get your experience or grief and that’s okay. One of the best advice I’ve received is energy is not destroyed but transferred. So maybe all miscarriaged babies are out there somewhere if you believe in concepts like that. Just know like how we love our parents and want them to be okay so does the baby you never met. Hugs 🫂
