Jenni L-O’LThe silence around early pregnancy and waiting to tell anyone until you can be more sure that ‘it will stick’ has always bugged me. So when I found out I was having a miscarriage I did the exact opposite of be quiet - I shared what had happened with friends and family on Facebook. And strangely enough, it helped. It was like their kind words of support and knowledge of what happened helped us carry the burden for a while.I did the same when I miscarried. I even shared about it in my annual Christmas letter, becaus I wanted to break the stigma. Most people never commented, some people emotionally reached out, and others were relieved to know so they could send love and support. Overall, I found my miscarraige to be an empowering experience because I was able to hold my head up despite the sadness.I had a miscarriage 8 days ago at 11 weeks gestational age. I'm still in the grief of it but I can feel myself returning to the world. it's a hard thing to let go of all our hopes for our tiny babies when they've stopped growing inside us. it's been so helpful for me to have friends who have shared about their own experiences in the past. I'm grateful for the knowledge I have that miscarriage is common and, at this early stage, even healthy. I'm grateful to my body for doing all it could to support my pregnancy, even after the tiny baby stopped growing. I'm grateful to my body for releasing the pregnancy so efficiently and gracefully after we found out. I'm grateful we had told everyone about the pregnancy so that we were able to celebrate it while we could, and also so that now our community knows what we're going through. I shared my experience on Instagram, and it has been so helpful to come back to that post and reread the kind words people have left. thanks for helping to end the silence around this common experience!Ironic to see this all today. I’ve just miscarried today, my first time being pregnant at 38. Ironic because I considered posting this on Facebook but allowed myself to talk myself out of it. Still so raw but all of these links and podcasts are exactly what I need in this moment. -AlisonI had a missed miscarriage at 12 weeks with my first pregnancy. These comments reflect my experience as well--I unthinkingly followed the advice to not tell anyone (even family) about my pregnancy until I was sure things were "ok." Then when they weren't...I had to have super painful conversations with close family and friends to explain why I wasn't ok. I realized that this is terrible advice (at least for me). With my second pregnancy, which resulted in a healthy birth that I am so grateful for, I told close family and friends who could share in my joy, and be there for me if things went wrong again. Also, I've made a point to mention my miscarriage to my extended friend circle so that they can know they are not alone if they have a similar experience. I had a friend who was open with me, and it was a huge relief to know I could talk to her after I went through the same thing. Sending lots of love to everyone out there who is going through (or has gone through) this pain. - AnnaI have very openly posted about my stillbirth and subsequent ectopic pregnancy on facebook- and everytime I've shared something that wasn't the usual pregnancy announcments and happy first day of school photos women have come out of the woodwork to privately message me whispering.. me too. me too. - Grace

Elizabeth Life after miscarriage podcastFeatures interviews with women who have experienced miscarriages. It may seem like a bad idea to listen to traumatic stories but I have felt less alone listening to them, and many have happy endings as well which gives me hope.

Stacy InfertileAF podcastThe host, Ali Prato, went through a string of miscarriages before finding success through IVF. She interviews a different person on each episode to talk about their fertility journeys. A lot of different stories and outcomes — some make you feel hopeful, but all make you feel a little less alone.

Fleabag Season 2 Ep 1like the rest of the series, this is quite brash, but covers a woman choosing to hide the fact she is having a miscarriage and her sister's attempt to reach her in her denial. not for early in the grieving process but was extremely cathartic for me as the loved one of someone who had recently lost a baby
