Hi mommies! Is it possible to experience Post-Partum Depression for someone who had a miscarriage?

I was pregnant for 10 weeks — it was supposed to be our first baby. Just to share a bit of background: last year, I got a new job. At the time, I had no idea I was already pregnant. After the miscarriage, my husband and I decided it would be best for me to resign from work so I could focus on healing. Since then, I’ve been staying at home full-time. My husband is the only one working now, and what he earns is just enough for our everyday needs. I rarely go out, except for groceries or quick errands. I don’t get to see friends much either, partly because of our budget. Lately, I’ve been feeling really lost. Hopeless, even. Like I’m not moving forward and I’m not sure who I am anymore. I lost our baby, and it feels like I lost a part of myself too. Right now, I honestly don’t know how to get back on my feet. I don’t know where to begin. Even with my husband beside me, I still feel alone sometimes. It’s hard to explain the weight of losing not just a child, but also letting go of a career, and having to step away from the life I was building. What makes it harder is that I can’t help but compare myself. I see my siblings, my friends — they seem to be moving forward in life. Some are growing their careers, starting families, traveling, or just enjoying little moments. And while I’m genuinely happy for them, a part of me can’t help but feel left behind. 😞#Needadvice #miscarriage

Been there mi, i had silent miscarriage with my first baby last sept 2024. After 4yrs of trying which left me so devastated and broken. Kahit ilang months na nakalipas iniiyakan ko parin. But then i realized, i need to be physically, mentally and emotionally ready if ever magkaroon ulit ako ng baby. Now, i'm 13 weeks pregnant ulit. Nagresign ako sa work upon knowing na buntis nako ulit to make sure na maalagaan si baby ng maayos. Pray lang lagi mi 🙏🏻 when the time is right the lord will make it happen ❤️
