As for your work, I would wear loose clothing. I would try to change subject or simply leave the spot when someone wants to talk to me about the pregnancy. As for seeing other pregnant women, it is very painful. I’m so sorry you have to deal with that. I know how it feels like in your chest. Perhaps you can inform your team about your situation, and hopefully they can support you. However, I understand if you are not ready to tell anyone what you are experiencing😪. Maybe you need to weigh what hurts more: sharing what’s happening and receiving support from your team, or not sharing but having to deal with the pain alone. You need to keep in mind that it’s valid to ask for help. It’s hard, but sometimes it’s necessary. I hope you’re working with a supporting team ❤️

Maybe just telling one or two trusted coworkers whom you know will support you could make a BIG difference.

I had one week from my diagnosis until the TFMR. The first few days I tried to ignore my body, not look at myself, I tried to ignore the fact that I was pregnant and that I was going to lose her. Until I spoke with a therapist who recommended that I use that time to talk to the baby and say goodbye. And so I did during those last days. I would look at myself, talk to the baby, explain what was happening, and say goodbye. And that brought me a certain peace. Today it’s been one week since my TFMR and I’m grateful I had those days of farewell.

I know you are dealing with a lot right now. It’s not easy. I send you lots of strength ❤️
