miscarriage

1305767 tn?1361192676 ” Regardless of what anyone says, a miscarriage is a miscarriage. You do not have to justify your grief or compare it to anyone else’s grief for it to be valid. A chemical pregnancy was still a pregnancy, and for many women, it’s still a loss of a baby and grief that will always they will carry for their entire lives. It’s also OK to not be too sad about a very early miscarriage and to decide you just want to try again.
Avatar f tn at the sametime im trying to get pregnant again but havent had any luck since after my miscarriage my period is all over the place..can any one advice me on how i can deal with all this..im just fustrated at this point..
Avatar n tn I'm sorry for all of your losses. I just had a miscarriage and am trying to just find somewhere to fit in and understand when it's safe to TTC again. I wish you luck in your TTC efforts, Melli. I know it can be difficult sometimes, but I know you'll have a beautiful baby one of these days. It's just the waiting that's difficult. Right now I'm just trying to recover from the shock of losing my baby at just over 12 weeks.
Avatar f tn Everyone deals with anxiety and grief in a different way. Talk with your partner, your healthcare provider, a therapist... talking usually is the biggest help in these kinds of situations. I've had four pregnancies and have only ended up with one baby, my last miscarriage was just last month so it's really tough. Avoiding stress and anxiety they say is a huge part of successfully carrying a pregnancy... but sometimes even knowing that is enough to increase stress... so what can you do?
726324 tn?1324074610 And yet my sister has had 3 perfectly healthy pregnancies. I have had 4 pregnancies (two daughters and two miscarriages). Some of it could be genetic. But for the most part I wouldn't set yourself up for having doomed or scary pregnancies. Just take things as they come!
Avatar f tn I'm sorry for your loss. It's always sad when a person miscarries. Soon you can try again. GL.
Avatar f tn If it is just spotting.and not heavy bleeding then it may just be a sign of pregnancy. But there isn't anything doctors can do if it is the beginning of a miscarriage. But you do have different symptoms for every pregnancy. For me I had way worse cramps at the beginning of my 2nd pregnancy. And felt a lot sicker.
Avatar f tn Maybe you can find a grief counselor. My HMO has a specialist in grief issues related to fertility, who works in the ob-gyn department. I had several appointments with her and it helped a lot. The first appointment, I basically just cried. It's helpful to talk to someone who has dealt a lot with grief issues that are specifically related with fertility, if that is what you're going through. I think that kind of grief is like no other kind. I hope you can find someone.
1817664 tn?1316993601 I do want to give you a glimpse of hope though a lot of first pregnancies end in a miscarriage. I have had two fullterm babies since mine and am pregnant with number 3... 8 weeks! The fear of another miscarriage was there with every pregnancy. My prayers are with you and I pray that you will find some peace with the miscarriage.
Avatar m tn Have you had a miscarriage yourself in the past?
Avatar f tn You should be ok. Our babies are more resilient to stress than we think. Its not good to be excessively stressed of course but everyone has bad days here and there. I went through a break down at 7 weeks... my life was over...
Avatar f tn Docs told me not to put too much faith into the hcg numbers as it can drive you crazy...but I was just wondering if anyone else out there was going through the same thing....
Avatar f tn Is anyone experiencing grief from the loss of a loved one while pregnant and how are you handling it? We found out we are having a baby a month after my sister passed away.
Avatar f tn Yes, it's an actual fertilized egg, which means you most likely can still conceive. Chemical pregnancies are not preventable.
915369 tn?1355314810 I'm sorry to hear about your girlfriend's miscarriage. Grief and depression can feel very similar, but also very different at the same time in my experience. It's raw and powerfully overwhelming, inescapable. Depression for me, at least, is numb and lifeless, a void of emotion rather an a devastating flood of emotion. Like the other posters said, it's very possible that what you're feeling right now is a natural grieving response to a major loss.
Avatar f tn I'm so sorry for your loss. I had a miscarriage in Dec 08 and an ectopic Jan '10 so I can absolutely relate. Unfortunately, only time will heal your pain. My mom, who also lost several pregnancies, says she never got over her own grief until she had children. I can tell you it gets easier and the worst part will be all the insensitive people around you.
Avatar f tn Had a previous miscarriage in April this year. Even though I was told I can go on to have normal pregnancies and it's the only miscarriage I've had, I'm still very scared and worried about it happening again as me and my boyfriend struggled with the grief last time and don't want to go through that experience again, 7 weeks so far and due on the 2nd March, was 11 weeks when we lost our first baby.
Avatar f tn I was just wondering about other womens experiences in pregnancies after Trisomy 21. I have recently lost a baby at 19 weeks that had Trisomy 21. I am 29 years old and have two healthy children already. Has anyone out there experienced two trisomy pregnancies in a row? What sort of prenatal testing did you opt for after the trisomy pregnancy?
1489197 tn?1300974568 I was wondering how long after a miscarriage (medically) can we TTC again. I had at D&C done this past Fri (11/19) and am starting to feel better. we really want to TTC asap.
Avatar f tn I found out I was pregnant at 3w4dys my lmp was 10/02/2016 and my next one was due 10/31/2016, on that date I started to hve light bleeding but no clots nor pains, so I went to the hospital and got told I was hving a miscarriage but they didn't run any test or anything they just assumed but for both of my pregnancies I had light bleeding around the same time my mc was due but i didn't know I was pregnant until my next mc didn't come...
Avatar f tn I know everyone handles grief differently. I guess this was just something I never expected. It kind of just knocked the life out of me.My husband has been a big help. If it wasn't for him, I don't think I would have ever left my house. It's everyone's looks that makes it hard to step out. Or even worse. The people who still come up and try congratulating me.
6658361 tn?1384717351 I'm so scared of doctors & finding out that something is wrong I'm 18 in a half weeks pregnant and still haunt been seen by a doctor except when I was 6 weeks, I'm scared to find something wrong can someone please help

Avatar n tn I am also hesitant to try for another pregnancy with the worry that I will lose that pregnancy and have to deal with this pain and grief all over again. any suggestions? can the scar tissue be removed? & what sort of procedure is involved in removing it? any advice is welcomed. thanks!
Avatar f tn Sadly more than 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage. Many early ones go unreported so figures might be far higher. I've had a few, the last was Oct 2014. I conceived again in Feb, due in 16 days with my first and it's a bit of a miracle as I'm 40 years old. Miscarrying is a hard thing to go through physically and emotionally and we're mostly expected to keep it to ouselves; not talk about it, which makes it far harder as it is grief that we are dealing with.
2052746 tn?1330383218 You are not heartless for not feeling grief over your loss. Everyone deals with it in their own way. My husband just said it will be OK. And that was it. Then about a year later a friend of his at work had asked him to borrow 700$ to pay for his wife's d&c. He told me he was only going to lend him the money because he remembered how helpless he felt when we had "our" miscarriage. I wanted to cry because there I was thinking he didn't care and he did.
