Just Need to Get It of My Chest ! I Lied!!!!!!!!!!
Posted: 06-08-06 17:00pm

So I lied life sucks !!!! Why is it that 6 days after I feel worse now than I did before.
My husband is on nights this week and tonight with my bottle or red that I should not have opened I cant understand why it hurts so much, every one I know that knows dont talk about it ! Its forgotten!!!!!! But I forgot to forget!
I feel like I cant grieve because I never new them they were never born but to me they are my twins and my baby!!
Please tell me it gets better and there is hope of another child and there is no more wine in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks em xxx

Hi little flower, I am sorry to hear about your loss, I too had a mc earlier on this year and I want you to know that grieving is a natural and necessary part of the emotional healing that has to take place after a mc, yes you did know your babies, they were a part of you....You may not have seen them yet, but that attachment was formed as soon as you found out you were pregnant, and your feeling of loss is real and it will take some time to get over it. Drowning your sorrows in wine is not going to help anything, it just numbs the pain for a while...But the pain will not go away until you go through the grieving process.

Also don't put a time limit on your grief, for some it takes a month or two and for others it takes longer.

Tears and anger......I know alot about that. I actually got angry anytime I saw people going about life as usual. I thought my child deserved more than just a few days of mourning. This all happened in january, I had the mc on new years day, so yes I am feeling human again. I think it has alot to do with embracing my feelings, when I wanted to cry I cried, when I wanted to scream I screamed, when I just wanted to stay in bed and be depressed, thats exactly what I did, and eventually things got easier and easier. I still get sad when I think about the baby I will never hold in my arms, and just like any other death of a family member you will always be sad when you think about it, but the unbearable pain is gone and I am ttc again.

As far as not getting wrapped up in babies I personally think that is impossible . We as women are born with producing and nurturing tendencies, and at a certain age (ages vary per person) this instinct just kicks in and we need to produce offspring and nurture them throughout their lives. Once that instinct kicks in, it is hard to ignore.......At least for me it is :d .

My suggestion is to stop ttc until you have completely grieved for the twins and your other baby. That way you will be emotionally ready.
