Hello!

If you’ve sought help of a mental professional after miscarriage, how did you go about getting it and did it work/not work etc??

  • I got offered by the doctor but refused. It all depends on how you grieve. I can’t talk to outsiders about my issues I tend to shut down and grieve. I found support groups on Facebook and read how other people were feeling. It takes time but days get easier. But it is something you never truly get over x stay strong


  • I’ve never had a miscarriage. I doubt I would have had counselling for it though


  • We sought help after a stillbirth – got our obstetrician to refer us to a pyschologist.


  • Go to your GP and get a mental health plan done, they will refer you to the correct professional.


  • No,I did not want to prolong the agony & make a special appointment 2 talk about it to total strangers.


  • There is a lovely group on facebook that help out with this kind of thing! I went there and they are so lovely! It’s good to get everything out in the open! Sorry for your loss! X


  • great answers from the mums
    stay strong


  • Yes and it does work!!!


  • i haven’t had to do it but i believe it helps if u have support and what better if it’s a professionals help.


  • I think a GP is the best first point of call. There is a lot of great advice on this topic here.


  • Yes I had a miscarriage and my GP helped me through it.


  • Go to GP let them know how you feel then they can help you to the next step.


  • My cousin had lots of family/friend support


  • there are a lot of support groups


  • just ask your dr for a grief counsellor name or someone similar to this. There are a lot of support groups also


  • If you are thinking you need help then you probably do. Speak to your gp or your obs. They will point you in the right direction.


  • I initially spoke to my doctor, and she referred me to a psychiatrist. I saw him a few times, but felt that it wasn’t doing a lot of good. A friend told me about a female psychologist and grief counsellor that she had seen, so I made an appointment to see the lady. Best thing I ever did. She encouraged me to talk, she offered suggestions, and ultimately led me through the grieving process that I was so scared of. She had a miscarriage some years before, so she knew exactly what I was going through, and she helped me to talk about it, and find my own solutions to getting better. I hope you find someone who can help you, and I really do wish you well.


  • there are some good comments here


  • ive been though 4 misscarriages so far have not have a baby to make to it sadly…
    the only thing that worked with me is to be at home with my partner and my step daughter, it takes ages to get over and i wish i did talk to someone when it was happening but you will start to feel better again just need to relax and not think about it too much it will drive you crazy


  • My heart goes out to you, hopefully your GP can connect you with some help. We thought we had miscarried at 9weeks and it was one of the most difficult experiences
