Posted: 04-11-07 22:24pm

ok. i had a miscarriage this past november. and i still can not get over the loss. i still want a baby and financially i feel that i am ok. but i still know that i should wait, i just don't want to.

does anyone have advice, maybe a way to get past this. or possibly a good talk to help me get on with my life and finish college (i'm going for nursing, so excited!)

maybe i just need someone to talk to?

I am sorry for your loss. I imagine you are feeling a lot of pain at this time and it is probably hard for you to keep focused on other things. Waiting for something that you want so badly can also be a difficult thing to do.

There must be a reason of why you must have to wait, I don't know what that reason might be but if it is for medical reasons then waiting for the right time would be a good reason to wait. You don't want to harm yourself or rush into something that might harm the baby.

I am sure that you are extremly busy with school and while you are in class it probably helps to keep your mind off of the miscarriage and want for a baby. If it does help to keep yourself busy maybe finding a hobby that will help take your mind off of it as well might help.

I know you probably hate hearing the words "be patient" but sometimes thats all we can say. If you ever just need to talk to someone about anything that might help you in anyway you can PM me and we can talk about the weather or our home towns, tell eachother a few jokes or stories. Anything you want that might help. I hope you have a good night and keep your chin up it will take some time but it will get better.

You sound like you know what you should do. Waiting isn't always a bad thing. There are many things to do in this life before having kids. Finish school. Travel (even if it's just 'around' and not extravagant). Go out with friends. Having a baby is not as easy or as fun as it sometimes looks like it is. It is a lot of work and people give up a lot of their former lives for kids.

I'm sorry for your loss.

hunni, i've have 14 miscarriages in the past 3 years. not one of the babies was planned, and the one that's growing healthy in my belly is also not planned. you seem to have the plan... so all you have to do is wait for the right time and the right situation. i wish i had ambitions in my life to have made me wait, you have those...

i believe that you get what you get when your suppose to get it. i wasn't suppose to get those babies, this one i AM supposed to get. wait, and if it happens along the way then that's how it's supposed to be.

hoping all is well!

I was going to say something too because if you haven't been using birth control and you got pregnant that many times I consider those babies planned. If you aren't using protection you might as well plan on getting pregnant. It happens that is why the make condoms, IUDs, the pill, etc.

I'm curious how, at your age, you know you aren't supposed to become pregnant. If you've had 14 miscarriages, what is making this one different? Are you seeing a specialist? Are you on bedrest? What are your PTL risks?

i'm just making my appointments now.. i finally got insurance so i'm happy about that... but when i was 7 i had a really bad accident where i got pinned between a car and a guard rail and it severed my fallopian tubes... they said one of them had healed but that my ovary might be damaged also.

and hopefully this one IS different... i was pregnant before at the age of 17... there were complications with the pregnancy and it had to be terminated... but this one doesn't feel like that one... and i've made it much further on this one that that one without feeling the pain, so i'm guessing i'm fine and the baby's fine...

as for your other questions i have no answer due to me not being able to get to a doctor just yet
