Parents of lost babies and potential of all kinds: come here to share the technicolour, the vividness, the despair, the heart-broken-open, the compassion we learn for others, having been through this mess — and see it reflected back at you, acknowledged and understood.

for one and all > Struggling after 2 miscarriages in 6 months

Hi everyone,
I’m new to this forum. I had a miscarriage in August and one in January. I’m really struggling because I’d be ready to pop if I was still pregnant with my first. I do have other problems besides this and I feel like every time I see a toddler or infant on tv or in real life, I die inside. I have mental health issues and I’m clearly struggling. After my first miscarriage, I got a new dog, I have two dogs. With my last miscarriage, it seems harder to get through. Please help☹️

Dear Amanda,
I am afraid I can't really help you. But let me tell you: I see you.
I am so sorry that you have to go through this. I am sorry that you lost your children. I see your struggle.
