Coping with missed miscarriage while having a toddler
Show your support
Well for me I had two miscarriages after my son when he was a toddler but both were in the 5 week mark. Now I'm 38 weeks and 5 days with my double rainbow baby and he will be here sometime next week hopefully. My son is now 3 years old will be turning 4 in October of this year. My advice is to grieve but not ponder on the what ifs. Your time is coming and it will be worth it in the end.
I have deal with this three times now, I just kind of stopped talking about it and he seemed to kind of forget. He’s 2.5 years old now. If I get pregnant again I will wait a lot longer before I try to fully explain it to him.
I had a miscarriage at 18 weeks, I spent 3 days in the hospital, and when we came home our 2 yr old toddler hated us (for leaving him), he gave us the silent treatment for a day. We brought him to Walmart the next day and basically bought him anything he wanted (which was a Cars backpack, good to grow juices) and seeing him smile helped us a lot. It made us realize we are very grateful to have one kid, one is better than none. As for the baby we just stopped talking about it and our son kind of forgot about the baby in the belly.
I too just got over a missed miscarriage. It took almost three months for me to pass it. I found out at 12 weeks baby stopped developing at 10 weeks. Fast forward to 2.5 months, I finally passed it. I was sad yes, and I'm sure when I get to the due date I will also have some feelings but. We are going to try again and my daughter will have a sibling. Our Angel baby will come back to us when they're ready. Hang in there girl, but don't let it overcome you. Having my daughter around while I was going thru all that was my saving grace! You have to find light in everything you can, and she was my light.
