Have any of you been to a support group?

At the hospital where my D&C was done I was given a booklet of information. Inside was a brochure for a support group for other woman who have had lost their children my m/c and stillborn. I was thinking about going but I dont really know what to expect. Do you usually bring your significant other? I dont want him to go with me if he's going to be uncomfortable and the only man there. But it does say if the father cannot come you can bring someone to support you.....? Did you take anything away from it? I just think this will be a good release for me where I can go and talk about what has happened and not feel ashamed or felt bad for. What do you think?

Hi thanks so much for your comment! I have went to therapy once and was embarrased same as you are feeling. It was strange telling a complete stranger my inner most thoughts and feelings while she just sat there and listened. I felt like I didnt really connect with her and never went back. Although I didnt go back I did feel better afterwards being able to let it all out. It's hard to talk about it with my significant other because he doesnt like talking about it anymore. He feels like I should have moved on by now. This site has been great to be able to talk to other woman who have gone through the same thing. I will definitely tell you how the meeting goes. I think I will feel a little embarrased at first but will be fine once I get my story out there and hear about others'. I wish you the best of luck on your journey of TTC. Sending some baby dust your way!!
