I cant sleep anymore....

[soulsister]

Oh ladies - why is this all so hard.

First off, I am truly sorry for all our your losses - it is such a shame we all had to meet this way.

I am currently experiencing a miscarriage at 7/8 weeks (baby stopped developing at about 6 weeks). I had an induced miscarriage at 23 weeks last year with my son as he had a fatal genetic condition that meant he was not compatible with life at all (I hate that saying - just dont know how else to express it anymore).

Anyways, I'm kind of ok during the day, and have to stay strong for my little girl and my hubby....but at night, I cant sleep a wink anymore.....

I spend my whole night consumed with the "what ifs" and "why me's"....its like I keep myself awake so I can torture myself a little more....

I'm exhausted, and feel like its all getting to much for me....

Does anyone else feel like this? Ok sometimes and then really not ok the next?

sorry you are going through a miscarriage the now. I find it hard to sleep at night at the moment I have just finished miscarrying naturally and it does go through you mind alot if not all the time, the mornings seem to be the most emotional times for me at the moment, think it will get better once I go back to work get into a routine again.

I think it's only natural to go through these emotions. So sorry to hear about your son. Take care of yourself and hope you mange to get some

oh hunni i feel exactly how you do. keep it together for my girls and my partner but nighttime thats when i let it all out and my brain just cant switch off thinking about why i have lost 3 babies and why i lost jessica when i was so far along. i'm hoping once i get jessicas results and start on recurrent misscarriage tests i might be able to sleep better. like you say its like we torture ourselfs even more.

hun i hope you manage to get a good night sleep soon. x

Oh sweetie

I think most of us on this board can relate to this.... I can never sleep - I stare at the ceiling, and the what ifs running through my mind, thinking about how much I miss my son, the list is endless.

During the day I manage to keep it all together ususally, laughing and joking at work, and I'm not pretending, I genuinely feel good, and then the low points hit me like a truck and I'm crying and wishing I was dead.

Have you seen your doc about this? They might be able to get you some counselling, or prescribe you some medication to help with the sleeplessness/moods.

I hope you start to feel better soon

late at night and first thing in the morning have been some really tough times for me as well, sometims i think its good to have time to think but alot of the time, when its to much I either read a book or listen to music as i find it distracts me enough until i get so tired i fall asleep. Such a painful time and so hard to make sense of
