The time in between finding out at my scan that my baby had died and miscarrying a week later, I feel that I came to terms with what had happened. I felt positive for the future because after ttc for 14 months, at least now we knew that we could, and even though it was sad that we couldn't have this baby, we were looking forward to the fact that we could have another one soon.
It's now been a week since my miscarriage and although I still feel all the things that I've just described, I feel more sad and angry than I did before. I've been told by the people at the hospital that many women who have had miscarriages go through a similar process as women with post-natal depression due to the change of hormones. I thought that because I was already feeling positive and accepting of everything, that I probably wouldn't be affected by any sort of PND type feelings. Now I'm starting to think I might be wrong.
I don't feel like myself right now. I feel angry at silly little things that wouldn't bother a normal, rational person. I lie in bed at night thinking of awful things that might happen to me or my OH and how either of us would cope if the other one died or something. The I get really upset and feel stupid for being upset. These thoughts and feelings are not healthy!!
At this point, I don't feel out of control or like I'm going off the rails or something, but I'd like to know if these types of depressing feelings will go away by themselves? Maybe once my cycle is back to normal then my hormones will go back to normal and the problems with rectify themselves? Other than anti-depressants and counselling, what other solutions could there be?
I don't even know why I've written all this. I guess it just feels good to let off some steam.
