Q: Miscarriage
asked by: First_time_mum on September 1st, 2005

Miscarriage is a very distressing experience. I never thought it will happen to me. Being young and active is not a safeguard that it will not happen to you. I went through it last year and thought I will never get over it. I keep on blaming myself coz' maybe there is something wrong with me. My husband, family and friends have been very supportive and I think that made the difference. After that unfortunate incident I am pregnant again and on my 6th month already. I hope this will help especially those who just had miscarriage and still coping with the lost of the baby.

Do you know its a known fact that 50% of first pregnancies miscarry?

With my first pregnancy, I went to have an abortion at 10 weeks and found out the baby had died at 8 weeks...
It was so easy to think maybe there was something wrong with me.
But then I got pregnant again and this time I carried two little girls to 19 wks 5 days but lost them due to ttts.

If it wasnt for their condition they would have been born perfectly healthy..
And the condition isnt hereditary so I know there isnt anything wrong with me.

Just remember that 50% of first pregnancies miscarry, so hold ur head high with confidence next time ok??? :)

i will pray for you. Sxcgirl_me is right. 50% of first pregnancies miscarry. In one of the leaflets given to me in the hospital the ratio is 1 out of 4 women (some 5) miscarry within the first term of their pregnancy. My husband once told me that nature has its own way of putting things in order. Our body rejects things that are not properly developed and retain those that can survive. It will happen eventually....Just keep on practicing and be sure you do it when you are ovulating. I am also one of those women who keeps track of their ovulating calendar to be sure we hit the target. And do not forget your folic acid. This will further prepare you for your planned pregnancy.

Miscarrige
I had a miscarrage last oct. I had my tubes tied in 2002. I since then had gotten devorced an remarried (to someone else) I wished I hadnt had it done. I wanted a baby with my husband more than anything. I had no idea I had gotten pregnant, so I carried on doing the normal things. I was playing with my kids one day and took a really hard blow to the abdomin. It put me to the floor. I have never been in so much pain then came the bleeding. I went to the hospital and thats where I got the news. I was so devistated. I still havent gotten over it.I cant afford to have a tubal reversal so now I feel like my one chance is gone.I cant help but blame myself. I should have paid attention to the signs and been more careful but how was I to know right. Anyway, to all of you who have been through this my heart goes out to you and I pray you find comfort and peace.

i am sorry to hear 'bout the loss of your baby. But I do admire you sharing this experience to us. They say that talking 'bout it with friends and with others who have had similar experiences help ease the pain. In one of the leaflets I read and quote "don't blame and expect too much of yourself. You may never forget the baby you have lost, but the pain will get easier."

dun blame urself. Things were meant to happen, but how come u didn't realise u missed ur period or had symptoms of pregnancy earlier. Anyway, what has happened had happened. It was an expected pregnancy. Luckily u didn't know u were pregnant and then went on to have a miscarriage. That pain is really a pain. God bless u. Cheer up!
& things will work in well for u soon....

Cheer up dear!

Re: Thanks
I did miss a period and had noticed having sore breasts and nausea but didnt think much of it. I figured I had a virus or something. After all when your tubes are tied being pregnant is the last thing you would think of.I just prey god blesses and someday I can afford the reversal and have another baby.

I know how u feel. After my miscarriage, I have afew people telling that u could easily get pregnant after a d&c so I started trying then after 2 months of no good sign I gave up the idea. I told my husband I give up. It makes me stressful and very upset to keep buying pregnancy testers and having delayed mensus. I guess my delayed mensus were a cause of my stress and upset emotion.

This year I was concentrating on other things and having a not exciting sex life becoz I was feeling emotionally down. My husband understood and didn't force me. He told me that if I really want a child, I got to try during my fertile days and not give up. Then in june I was ready and I tried. In august I thought I made it... Had symptoms and delayed mensus but the test cam out negative and I had spotting for about 9 days.

I felt cheated then I decided to keep tracking my basal temp. I also asked the doc for medicine to jump start my period. I am taking folic acid and the doc medicine.

Hoping I will have a proper mensus soon and when I try, I conceive.

Then it's all up to god to give me a hand. I am trying for baby nos. 1 and I am already 27.

So I hope you dun get upset over this issue. But continue to try... Sometimes, our body and mind dun get along well. U got to relax and everything will fall in place...

Hi There Girls
I feel for all of you. I'm there with you all. I'm probably pregnant but miscarried my first baby in feb 2004. I'm terrified I will lose this one too. I keep thinking "once I see the heart beat i'll be fine" but then I think "what if I get my hopes up and get too comfortable and end up having a still birth" or "what if I feel all great and everything with a live baby and it dies of sids". Also, I am not angry at anyone who says anything related to what I am about to point out, but I do not believe that "it was just meant to be". That is just not how it works and to anyone who says something like that off hand, it is very hurtful... To me anyways.

I ahd 2 previous miscarriages and when I got pregnant this time I didn't want to tell anyone till my 2nd tri but people at work knew before I did even cause all I was doing was barfing. Every lil thing, cramp, discomfort made me worry. My son will now be 3 months old on wednesday. The one "good" thing about the 2 previous miscarriages was that I got a lot of ultrasounds done!

I had my first miscarriage at about 8wks. It was an unplanned pregnancy but we still welcomed it. My husband and I decided to try again, but this time I had an ectopic. I had my right tube removed. It hurts but just thinking of being pg again helps.

Miscarriage
I had my first miscarriage in august 2004 and my second one just two days before xmas 2004 and that was a twin. I was 11 weeks. I am now 9 weeks pregnant again and although I am very worried I have a really good feeling about this pregnancy. I relaise after my two miscarriages that there is nothing I cud have done about them and that everything was in god's hands and I have learned not to question what he does no matter how much it hurt me. I cried and and cried until I had no more tears left and sometimes I still get very emotional and ya know what? I am entitled to feel sad about the three babies that I lost. But something just tells that god is going to bring me thru this pregnancy now just fine and I have to believe that and I will. Losing a baby is never easy and all we can do is just be there for each other.
