How long does it take?

How long does it take for pregnancy symptoms to go away? I hate it, I know there is no baby there anymore but my body is acting like there still is and I can cope with everything else but just not this. I really liked having the vivid dreams as I would dream about my baby growing in my belly but last night I dreamt that I was holding my dead baby in my hands as it was gasping for breath, that is not what it was like when I lost "her" but I cannot get those awful images from my dream out of my head. I just want to feel "normal" again and move on :(

Big hugs hun, Ive been there, done that. Its not nice at all.

I think the fact that youre dreaming is a good thing, I feel we process all the emotions and things we are maybe having a hard time dealing with consciously in our subconscious, while we dream. But its so hard to dispell those images when we wake and have to deal with the reality of what weve lost.

So sorry for your loss, I dont know how long it took for me to stop having "those " types of dreams. I do know though that they did re occur when I got PG again, probably all my subconscious fears coming out.
I hope your day gets better hun, take it easy, keep talking, were here for you xx

I have no advice to offer as I've never been pregnant, but my thoughts are with you, and I hope your life goes back to 'normal' sooner rather than later.

I'm sorry Darling, I know it hurts. I remember throwing my folate tablets across the kitchen, couldn't bear to see them for a while. Then had to go hunting for them when I was ready to TTC again.

For me it took a couple of weeks to ''feel normal'', but then not having nausea or sore boobs felt really strange. The whole thing just sucks basically, but we're here for you. It takes time, grieve however you want to and be gentle with yourself xo

Oh honey i totally understand how you are feeling and agree that while the dreams are not nice they are probably helping you greive. I also understand that you feel that it is too soon to say goodbye to your ticker. We all understand that and i think that you should take your time in all areas of greiving. This is a horrible process and none of us really have the answers. Just keep posting and talking about your feelings. We are all here to listen, even when IRL people start to think you should be moving on.

One thing that has always helped me, is i light a candle for a whole day. It means that it is there in the background or i can go watch it when i need. And then yes, when it comes time to blow it out i have a good cry....

Thinking you at the terrible time! Wish there was more i could do!
