Missed miscarriage- cant stop thinking about about what went wrong

No heartbeat was found in the ultrasound.. based on size it appears the baby stopped growing at 6 weeks when i should have been 9.5 weeks pregnant.. i have to wait for 2 weeks for a second ultrasound or to see if i bleed out.. its not been called a missed miscarriage yet by the doctor but i have been told not to be too hopeful either.. I feel so upset.. why did this happen to me.. i took such good care.. i made lifestyle changes, i ate healthy, i took prenatals 6 months prior.. i did everything by the book.. people around me are having babies left right and centre.. some without even trying.. some drinking well into the first trimester.. i know this sounds petty, but i just cant stop thinking about it.. i feel weepy randomly at work.. i dont feel like meeting anyone coz they all talk about thier kids.. anyone who experienced this how long did it take for u to fully heal?#adviceplease

hi i had a missed miscarriage too. found out at week 11 that it stop growing at week 9. we waited for it to come out naturally instead of eating pill. it was painful and very sad and we took time to grief over it. at first if elt guilty, but gynae say its not what we did, sometimes when the pregnancy itself not healthy, it stop growing, n body just discard it. also for a healthy bb to grow it needs a healthy egg and sperm. not just the lady wholy responsible. both have to work tgt to have a healthy pregnancy. miscarriage is actually very common and affecting alot ppl. its really a sad thing to go through it but we also receive and experience alot of love through the episode. we accept it from God as God knows what's best for us. 1 year later we are expecting again and so far a healthy one.
