  • Hi,
    I can sort of understand as I had a MC and found out at my 12 week scan, we had been trying for 2yrs and I had lost my Dad earlier this year so it all came as a shock. I had a DNC 3 weeks ago now and didnt really cry at all while I was off work, I took about a week and a half off work and the night before I was due to return I had a total breakdown and just couldnt stop crying, I think everything had hit me at once.
    I would say try to cry as sometimes its worse to let it build up and then if you dont it could lead to depression, I did find the support of people on this site really helped and hense I am on it everyday for support and just to chat to others.
    Have you considered going to see a counsellor or maybe talking to a family member about how you feel?
    I am just trying to keep myself busy now, sounds silly but I am planning a new kitchen, started University at the weekends which I find is helping a lot.
    My thoughts are with you at this time and remember we are all here for when you want to talk,
  • Hi Kim
    I cried none stop for 2wks after my mc. Dont keep it all in, I think it really helps to let your emotions out.
    Anytime you need to talk were all here.
    take care
    love Helen

  • I broke down in hosp but pulled myself together and went bcak to work 4 days later. I didn't cry again until my 2nd day back because everyone was so nice and I spent every hour fighting the tears. I just want to forget.......
  • Hope you're feeling a little better.
    My grandad called in today just as I was arranging flowers my hockey team had sent and said 'what have they sent those for? People don't send flowers unless they want something!'
    I saw him later and he was really apologetic - said he 'forgot' guess life goes on for everyone else!!!!
    Big hugs for us all xxxxxxx

  • Hi
    I'm really sorry for your loss. I too lost my baby two weeks ago and at first I just couldn't cry. The stress of the D&C just took over and when it was all finished I just felt relieved. But two days later I just couldn' t keep it all in and started crying all the time and it lasted for a whole week. It was awful but it did help a lot. Don't worry about losing control, if you need to cry then it might be best to let it happen. I feel a bit better now but there are still many things that upset me and I just start crying again. I think it' s part of the healing process in a way.
    Hope you feel better soon, love , Lola
