Pregnancy Forum - Pregnancy After Miscarriage

I just thought I'd share my experiences with those who have had a miscarriage and are scared to try again.
I've been reading msgs on here since around may 06. I wanted to feel better after I miscarried in march 06. I wanted to feel it wasnt the end of the world. Alot of ppl did help me out and talking about it helped a great deal.
I miscarried after 17 weeks and it was the worst experience of my life. The physical and mental pain were unbearable. Seeing my 17 week baby will be on my mind forever. It did take a good few months to stop crying! But talking on the internet and to my friends on text helped. Bottling it up does not help one bit.
Alot of women are terrified to try again for a baby just incase the same happens. They think maybe their bodies were not designed to carry babies. This thought entered my head quite a few times but it didnt stop me.
I fell pregnant march this year. I was rushing to the toilet every second thinking i was bleeding and always thinking to myself its going to happen again. The fear has stayed with me until now. Im now 32 weeks pregnant. I can't actually believe I've got so far. And not one single problem. Not a sign of blood or a cramp. I will worry until hes born though!

With my first pregnancy I did everything right and by the book. i had so much love for my tiny baby even though i was still in early pregnancy. But this time I did hold back my feelings a bit because I didnt want to hurt like i did before. Sometimes i feel i loved my 1st baby too much and that was good enough for him, thats why he left so early! I know its silly! But it makes me feel a bit better!!

I just wanted to let the women know that have had a miscarriage and are scared to try again, that alot of 1st pregnancies can end in miscarriage. But it doesnt mean you cant hold a child until full term. Believe me i know its hard to deal with but you'll realise once your next child is born and you can share your experiences like i have.

Mine is due at the beginning of december. I cant wait to meet him! But terrified of giving birth!!!!
