Perinatal Counseling In Murfreesboro, TN
We Can Help You Navigate This Time Together
Shame. Fear. Grief.
You feel alone. Afraid to talk about how you’re really feeling.
Maybe your body betrayed you. It was never supposed to work out this way.
You fear you will never bond with your baby.
The sadness is overwhelming and you don’t know if you will survive this grief.
You may have had thoughts like….
How can I have such a mix of fears and hopes about this pregnancy?
Will I ever be able to conceive?
Is there something wrong with me since I am so overwhelmed and find it difficult to bond with my baby?
My body does not feel familiar to me and I wonder if I will ever feel like myself again?
I did not want this pregnancy and now I don’t know what to do?
Why am I Feeling This Way?
Your body is a constant reminder of the changes that have happened during the pregnancy. And if you have experienced infant or pregnancy loss this can be overwhelming as you cannot escape your own body.
You may find it difficult to process your loss since it is so different from anything you’ve experienced before.
You may feel more alone than ever and some people avoid bringing up your loss because they don’t want to upset you.
You and your partner may experience the loss in very different ways and if you are not sharing with one another you can feel so alone.
It can be confusing to have moments of joy with your baby and then find yourself in moments of overwhelming sadness. Your whole life has changed and you are just trying to reorient yourself and attune to your baby’s needs as well as your own.
