Misscarriage
Posted: 08-05-05 12:35pm

:cry:
even though I felt funny, I didn't believe I was pregnant until friday july 29th when I went to my doctor's office and took a test. I knew something was different, but i'm 27 and this was the first time, I couldn't believe it. We were both very happy about this, I figure I was about 6-7 weeks. Monday night, I started spotting lightly. Tuesday morning I was bleeding like a period. Thursday, august 4th I found out I misscarried. It is devistating. I don't know how to feel. I cry whenever i'm alone, and when someone says "i'm sorry" it is almost impossible not to break down in tears. My mate calls me when he's not near me to make sure i'm ok. It's a beautiful thing to be so supported, but at the same time, i'm so sad. It is such a feeling being pregnant, even though I wasn't far along, I felt it. I miss it....

...I'm very sorry to hear what has happened. I am not one to tell you 'i know how it feels' because I don't - but I do know how it feels to have a loved one miscarry. My sister miscarried on her second preganancy. I was the only one she told. I felt her pain, I felt her anger, I felt helpless. I do commend your mate for being so supportive with you as many do not know how or what emotion to show. God bless you all and I wish you the best in the future!

Thank you all for your responses... I am starting to cope with it finally, i'm not crying all the time, and actually, I didn't cry at all yesterday. I know this doesn't mean I won't cry in the future, but at least I can deal with it now. And who knows, i'm sure we'll try again...

Hi there! I am so sorry to here of you miscarriage, I understand what you are going through, I have been there myself, it is hell, they should have offered you help, such as a support group, did they discuss a d&c with you. I am glad to hear that you are starting to pull yourself out of it and that you have someone to help and maybe you can try again when you your mind and your body is ready but that is between you, your dr, you body, your mate.
The best to you and your mate, hugs to both of you!

I am sorry to hear for your loss, I know that there is very little we can say or do to make you feel any better but know that others have been though this and come out the other side ok.

I had a misscariage on december 30th last year, great way to welcome in the new year if you ask me! I would say that it took me a good 4-5 months to get back to normal, I felt like I was being punnished cause no mattwe where I looked there were newborns or hugly pregnant women.

I was 3 weeks late for a period about 4 months after it happened, I was being sick and had ever so friendly nipples, I never did a pregnancy test and when I finally came on it was heavy, I dont want to know if I was pregnant as this time denial is far less hurtful.

I am now 2 weeks away from my original duedate... And I am finding its in my thoughts again, but whats done is done and what will be will be, chin up girlie, there is light at the end of the tunnel.

have you been trying to conceive? Do you want to try again. The only thing that saved me from all my miscarriages was the fact that I was preg every 2 months for 4 years. I had 2 live births in that time and 6 miscarriages. I dint try to get preg, actually I used condoms and spermicides faithfully most of the time, well on the last 3 miscarriages. First three was in my 18 year. So, eventhough I lost I was constantly expecting something better. It helped me threw. Like the 4 1/2 month baby that was born alive--he was the hardest, but by the time his due date came around I was pregnant with my girl who I have today(she is almost22 years old). I did think of him, but it was easier.


If the last year you left with sorrow you should bring in next year with joy---right??


Wishing you both the very best--this too will pass, I promise. I do know how hard it is. God bless you both

*squishes fatfamily02*

no, we had not been ttc, I had been away for a month on holiday came back and I guess we were maybe a little too pleased to see each other! The result being a wee one. I only go tas far as 7.5 weeks, I ran a fever of 103 for 2 days, I could not get it down, my doctor told me that basically it fried as it cant withstand that heat, but I was also told that if I lost it that early then there was probally genetic things going wrong and it would have never survived if I had had it till full term, tis amazing the things people tell you to make you feel better!

It was made 10 x worse though as a woman I work with also fell pregnant at exactly the same time, we were 1 day apart, so she will be hatching any day now, I belive shes at 38 weeks, so seeing her getting big and round was mental torture as every time I saw her belly I would see what I should be like, but what does not kill you makes you stronger.. Right?

I would say that I am over it now, and its been 8 months, I dont cry over it any more and I am sure its a blessing in disguise as when I do get to start my family I will appreicate them that much more.

I am fretting at the moment thinking I may be pregnant again, (every so friendly nipples and something funky going on down there) but I wont allow my self to take a test till the 22nd august, as that was my due date. If I am it will be a nice ending.. And begining to it all and if I am not, well then its just not meant to be.

But thankyou for your kind words, it means alot to me, and I am sure it will also mean alot to mamaslyfe. Any support at a time like this is appreciated.
