Late Term Miscarriage

Not sure how to feel. I go back and fouth, feeling okay & then just bawling. This past Wednesday I had an ultrasound at 15 weeks & we found out babes heart stopped sometime between 13-15 weeks. I had a D&C on Friday & now I feel a little empty. Physically I'm great. Wasn't expecting to recover this fast since it was the second trimester. Mentally, I want to be pregnant again, I'm impatient, and I'm anxious. I'm scared I won't be able to enjoy my next pregnancy. If I have another pregnancy. We got pregnant cycle #2 of TTC and now I'm worried, what if it takes us months or a year + I feel guilty that I'm wanting to TTC again ASAP and it hasn't even been a week since my loss. This is all so confusing. Sorry, I'm just rambling. If you made it this far - thank you for listening ❤️

Totally understandable Michelle, I wanted nothing more than to get pregnant again as well. It took us 6 cycles, which, to be fair, is pretty quick in the grand scheme of things!

I’m so sorry for your loss . I lost my baby at 17 weeks and in the uk they don’t do D&C I think past 12 weeks so I had to be induced and give birth . Took me 6 weeks to stop bleeding . I used to go to the therapist to help me with the grieve but the only thing that helped was to be pregnant again. It took us 6 or 7 months to be pregnant again . Currently 13 weeks with my double rainbow and yes I’m anxious and scared and I’m not enjoying it as much as I should because I’m worried it might happen again that late in pregnancy 🥺 I hope you get your rainbow soon mama 🤍🌈 I would only suggest to wait for your first cycle to come and then try after

@Emma congratulations on your babes ❤️ I hope your pregnancy goes smooth and lil one is healthy as can be

@Nicol oh my gosh I can't imagine! I feel so fortunate to have the option to abort the way that I did. I'm so sorry for the pain you had to endure. I do see a therapist already. Coincidentally I had an appointment the night I found out we no longer had a heartbeat & canceled because I definitely didn't want to be talking about it that soon. To be honest, I don't know what there is to talk about anyway? It happened. I need to grieve. and like you, I don't think I'll be 100% alright until I have a healthy pregnancy. But thank you for sharing your story & congratulations on your current pregnancy ❤️ i hope your pregnancy is relaxing & you can find a way to enjoy it
