Miscarriage Support Group

i am so very sorry for your loss. i think you should tell your cousin and hopefully she'll understand. if not, oh well! you need to do what's best for you right now and not worry about everyone else. i hope everything works out for you :)

I am so sorry.

You probably know best what you can handle. The pain is so raw, and I am sure that she will understand. It is really hard to be around friends and family who are pregnant when you have just miscarried.

Give yourself some time to grieve. People should respect your wishes and give your support. You lost something of indescribable beauty, and value.

Take care of yourself and focus on what is important.
I have been through several of these, and am here if you need to talk.

People I have told about my miscarriage immediately "got it" and I haven't had to explain or apologize for anything I did or didn't want to do. I just wept through an entire church service for a baby's christening, so I know how you feel. Don't do anything or go anywhere you don't want to. You need deserve time to recover.

I am sorry for your loss everyone on this site knows what you are going thru and can help you get thru it. I know how you are feeling because my cousin is pregnant and I just lost my baby. We told everyone about it and that just made it a lot harder to tell them we weren't pregnant anymore. However you just lost a precious gift from God and you need time to yourself to grieve. I told my cousin what was going on, because I couldn't stand to be around her right now. I felt cheated that she gets her baby and I don't. I think your cousin will understand if you just explain it to her. Besides you can get a gift later when you have grieved and are ready to see more pregnant women, Give it some time, give you some time, and I think she will understand.

I agree with the other ladies here, you shouldn't have to feel bad about not attending your cousins baby shower, you need time to heal. Only you know what you can handle right now and I can also say that being around anyone pregnant is very painful right now. I hope it all works out ok :)

Don't feel bad about doing what you need to do to take care of yourself. That's what's most important. One day in the future you may feel up to telling her what was going on and then she'll understand. I skipped out on my high school reunion because it was the weekend after my miscarriage. My two best friends new and told everyone that i was sick and my husband and my mom and I went away to the mountains for the weekend instead. I'm still a little sad that I missed it but there was no way i could put myself through that. There would have been lots of babies there and it would have been to much. I would stay on the side of caution and for a while at least don't do anything that you're not comfortable with.
