What to Do Next ?
Posted: 05-29-07 03:54am

Hi
I have read alot of the questions and answers in this forum on various topics and feel this may be the best place to ask some questions.
A month ago I miscarried after many years of trying. I was ecstatic and went in for an ultrasound (10 weeks). The doctor came in and informed me that there was no heart beat. I opted for the relatively natural alternative but after suffering major bloodloss and sever cramping I was admitted to hospital and had a D&C.
This is where it gets strange... I dont want to think about ever trying for another baby. The thought just makes me cry and I cant even consider it. Some people have said it takes time and to try again, I admire people who try and lose babies more than once, still they try again and have healthy happy little babies. I always thought I would be like that but I cant shake this feeling of not wanting children anymore.
The other problem that I have is that I am really moody, well, more than usual and I cry at the smallest most insignificant things. I snap at people when they talk about happy moments and I hate myself when I feel any sort of joy. Everyone is telling me to move on, and I am honestly trying but it seems to be getting worse not better.
Anyway, sorry the post is so long, I just have alot to say, alot of questions and no one to direct them too.
Any reply would be appreciated. Thank you so much for listening (or reading!)

sounds like you are still greiving which is perfectly normal and natural.

you might find talking with a counsellor helps you sort things out in your mind and can help allay your fears.

one month isn't any time at all.
Don't worry that you don't want to try again now.
Take whatever time you need - maybe that will be 6 months, maybe a year, maybe 2 or 3 or more.
Maybe the time will never be right for you to feel happy about the idea of becoming pregnant - that's OK too.
