You never forget the moment … the moment the doctor couldn’t find a heartbeat, the moment you felt something was wrong, or the moment you were told “I’m sorry.”
These words echo in your head for days, weeks, or even months. The world keeps turning, but everything inside you has stopped.
Maybe you’ve experienced:
The emotional weight is overwhelming. You may be cycling through sadness, guilt, anger, numbness, or all of it at once.
And while others try to comfort you with phrases like “At least you know you can get pregnant” or “It just wasn’t meant to be”, these words can deepen the isolation.
Miscarriage refers to the loss of a pregnancy before 20 weeks gestation.
Pregnancy loss is a broader term that includes miscarriage, stillbirth, and any loss before birth.
Stillbirth typically refers to the loss of a baby after 20 weeks gestation.
No matter the label — the emotional experience is real, valid, and deeply painful.
When you’ve already faced the rollercoaster of infertility, a pregnancy loss hits in a uniquely devastating way. You may have gone through:
To finally see a positive test and then lose the pregnancy can feel cruel. It’s not just grief, it’s layered with exhaustion, fear, and the question: “How much more can I take?”
The grief of miscarriage and pregnancy loss is often about a future loss… not just for the baby, but for the future you imagined.
The nursery, the name, the milestones … all gone in an instant.
And yet, society often fails to recognize this grief.
This is what’s known as disenfranchised grief: the type of sorrow that isn’t publicly acknowledged or fully validated. You may feel like you should be “over it” by now, but instead you’re quietly carrying pain no one can see.
