Coping with miscarriage emotional impact

Miscarriage is the critical medical condition experienced by pregnant women when the baby inside their womb get aborted or die suddenly and unexpectedly without taking birth. The embryo fails to survive independently and as a result, the pregnancy gets terminated. It occurs mostly during the days of early pregnancy. Miscarriage or still birth is extremely traumatizing for the suffering couple and it makes them depressed and extremely heart broken. There are times when this intense feeling of grief becomes so serious that the ill-fated couple, especially the woman feels isolated and suicidal. Although the baby is never born, it leaves a feeling that the impending motherhood has suddenly been brought to an end. But it is extremely essential to get out of this distress and realize that miscarriage does not mean the end of the world. Coping up with miscarriage is indeed tough for the suffering couple, especially for the mother. But it is important to make a new start too. Here are a few ways by which you can get out of the depression in the post miscarriage stage and start everything afresh with a new ray of hope.

Grieving is a normal phenomena

Since miscarriage is extremely unfortunate for the suffering couple, so it is not unusual that it will be accompanied with intense grief. Since you are a normal human being and not a vegetable so coping up with the fact that the baby that was supposed to take birth is no longer there is really difficult. So do not feel ashamed that you or your partner is grieving for the loss or you have been proven unsuccessful. But this is also true that grieving unnecessarily and extremely is also detrimental for your mental and physical health. Remember that grief has its own tenure and gets gradually suppressed after that. Do not be too fussy about it and at the same time try to console yourself and try to get out of this depression.

Try to overcome the depressing phase

While grief is a natural phenomenon associated with post miscarriage phase, you must also realize that grief is not the only emotional expression associated with the circumstance. If you brood too much with whatever has happened and keep on grieving and coxing your fate, then it can lead to other emotional problems like trauma, isolation, inferiority complex and trauma as well as outbreak of health complications too. Therefore, you are your best guide. Console yourself by saying yourself that miscarriage is not something that you have only experienced. It is a medical condition that can happen to anyone. You have to believe in yourself and be each others support in reinstalling the confidence in each other to start life in a new way again.

Believe in each other most

Miscarriage is such a phase that not only has a negative effect on the mind but can also stain the husband wife relationship as a consequence. Most of the times, the woman who has experienced miscarriage tend to turn inwards and become somewhat unsocial. Either she starts blaming herself or her fate for the mishap, or her spouse for whatever has happened. She prefers to grieve herself. Similar is the condition with the male counterpart. He starts imagining that his spouse is best to be left to herself in this situation or else she might become mentally more disturbed. This misconception prevents the couple from approaching each other and broaching the topic and finding out a more concrete solution on the matter. As a result, the gap between them starts increasing and in many serious circumstances, the relationship falls apart completely. Therefore, this is never a wise way to deal with miscarriage. Be each others friend and share your sorrow rather being selfish and sorrowing in seclusion. Things will be much better.

Socialize and find a mental support

Since miscarriage is the most unfortunate situation, the mental trauma intensifies further if the couples mourn all alone. Its intensity increases manifold when the couples do not share their pain even with each other and prefer to stay within themselves. The best way to get out of this is to go out and socialize with people. Once you communicate with others, your mind will be distressed and you can think positively. Further, when you find a mental support in persons other than you two and openly convey to them that you want to get out of the phase and lead a normal life again, such support systems come in great aid. Making friends and talking to people is a sure shot way to handle the post miscarriage shock.
