Feeling sad.

I just had a miscarriage and our friends have just excitedly announced their pregnancy to us via Facetime. I am happy for them, but sad for us. It's hit me like a tonne of bricks, particularly as she is the same gestation as I would have been 💔. I know these are ugly feelings but I feel so angry at the universe 😔. I was actually feeling OK about what had happened, until the last couple of days, and now this.

I completely understand what your going through! I just had a ectopic pregnancy at 7 weeks and my partners niece found out she was pregnant the same day as me and we would have been a few days apart. They’ve just had their first scan and I couldn’t stop crying. Don’t feel guilty for how you feel it’s completely valid and normal. I’m so sorry for your loss and I hope things get easier for you xx

You can be happy for your friends while still being sad for yourself, it’s totally normal and ok. When I had my miscarriage I was devastated but one of my best friends was pregnant and it was tough at times thinking how I should also have been having a baby shower etc but I also knew my friend deserved her bundle of joy too! It does get easier but allow yourself to feel it all and take extra care of yourself! A little self love goes a long way at these time and hopefully it won’t be long till you have your rainbow baby ✨

@Jade sorry to hear this. I'm glad I'm not alone. It's so hard isn't it? I just need to be kind to myself I think

@Elle thank you. I hope it does get easier. My pregnancy tests are still positive and I just wanted it to be over so I could move on and start trying again. We have a 2 and a half year old and I just don't feel like time is on my side age wise either
