I feel disgusting

[Avarose1234]

I think this is the wrong place to write this but I couldn't find anywhere else to discuss it. I had a miscarriage recently and after the emotional turmoil of loosing my baby which i am still getting over I feel absolutely disgusting in my own skin.
I used to have lovely full boobs and now they're just saggy and disgusting, none of my trousers fit properly because my hips are wider, my stomach is constantly bloated . Has anyone else experienced this after miscarriage and if so how long until I feel normal again?

Sorry to hear you're feeling this way. I'm quite sure you are not disgusting!!!

How far along were you?

I had two mcs this year and my body changed. I gained a stone and my tummy / hips altered. I have lost half a stone now and I'm excercising to make myself feel better. It takes time but your old shape and figure will return.

Hey so sorry to hear about your MCs hope your doing okay.
I wasn't even that far along - only 6 weeks. I just think if had had my baby I wouldn't have cared how I looked but now I'm left with horrible droopy boobs. I don't know if it's because they had been quite swollen and sore when I was pregnant and I'm comparing them to that.

I sympathise. I feel the same, and I'm so sorry for your loss. 3 months on and I've gained more than half a stone and it just keeps creeping on despite trying to be good.

my boobs were deflated, my nipples are lower, but I'm more used to the sight of them now so its not so traumatic anymore. you'll get used to them - in a way its a hint about what is hopefully to come for you (only after a whole 9 months and some breast feeding they could look worse!) so stay positive :-) it's also a reminder of the joy you had for a little while, you'll have it again.

I didn't mind not fitting into my work trousers while I was pregnant, but now its so depressing having tight clothes. I felt under so much pressure to be back to normal - but it's going to take a while. I really feel like my head is much better - but my body is still recovering - yours is too.

I would suggest, try little things to make you feel happy, and don't dwell on the negatives. cleaning the house cheered me up loads at the weekend - first real blitz in months cos I couldn't lift the hoover (v. heavy) when I was pregnant, then I just didn't WANT to lift it after

don't rush yourself and look after yourself. its still very early for you

Ava things will go back to normal with your boobs, just give it some time and all will settle down I'm sure. You will get another healthy pregnancy soon and then you'll feel much better about things. Hang in there, you're going to be ok. Love n hugs xxx
