1419501 tn?1320206310 Coping with a pregnancy loss is what most people would say the worst time of their life.After a miscarriage or stillbirth, your grief may be so overwhelming that you wonder if you will ever be happy again. You may never truly “get over” your loss, but know that your grief will become more manageable over time especially if you recognize your feelings as valid and accept that you may need time to work through them.

Avatar f tn Deana590, I'm so sorry for your loss. You'll hear alot of "well meaning" words from family and friends that aren't comforting. But, you've come to the right place. Because we've been there and heard it all - you can come here for support because we share your grief - you're not alone. The women here helped me through mine. Any miscarriage is devastating - and the pain takes a while to go away.
Avatar f tn So on Saturday about lunch time I went into hospital as I was experiencing some bleeding. Found it was old blood and wasn't alot, may or may not be having a Miscarriage. Following morning I woke up, lots of fresh blood heavy period like and lots of cramping. Rushed back in straight to gynaecology ward as it's Sunday and hardly any staff. Get checked out and as I'm getting undressed for examination, I see it. Start freaking out that something like a massive clot is hanging out of me.
1554910 tn?1297429911 I know exactly how you feel. I went through a miscarriage last March and I felt the same way with my sister. Still to the day I have some anger towards her. She also had a miscarriage the year prior to mine so I thought that she would know what I was going through and be there for me more than she was.

I've been avoiding pregnant friends and friends with babies..

Avatar n tn Anyone else dealing with grief and having to take anti-depressants. I have not had any problems with depression or sleeping prior to my dads death. I have not ever lost a loved one, this is the hardest blow I have ever been dealt with in my life, and I am not coping too well. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am at my wits end as to what to do. And how long should I be taking antidepressants. And how long does it take for them to kick in.
Avatar f tn Hi, everyone. I was on here about two years ago. I had my son and everything has been great. He's 15 months old now. Yesterday, I took a HPT and found out we were expecting number 2. I took 2 more, both positive, and had a weak but positive urine test. The estimated my due date to be October 21st. Today, I noticed some bright red blood while using the bathroom. I went to the ER and had bloodwork done and they said my HCG level was at a 13.
Avatar m tn I am very sorry for your loss. The answer is that he died because his particular liver could not take it. It really doesn't matter if other people drink heavily all their lives and don't die early, I am so sorry but his own particular liver was not built for what happened to it. Either this was caused by (it certainly was not helped by), the fact that he was a heavy drinker; maybe he also had some congenital weakness of the liver that made it more susceptible to problems.
Avatar n tn Oh, I am so very VERY sorry to hear about a sudden death of your daughter. That has to be devastating. Mom to mom, few things would be more traumatic for me if anything. That's about the worst it can get. And I'm sure you are in shock. When did this happen? And ya, driving with a new, young driver . . . grandson or otherwise is nerve racking.
915369 tn?1355314810 Grief is a very powerful emotion and you can have both grief and depression at the same time. Grief and depression are like brother and sister, if you will, and both can cause you to have feelings of suicide etc. So, what you need to do is get in to talk to someone who knows about both grief and bipolar. You need to move through this process of grieving and take care of yourself and your girlfriend. You can do this together, and support each other. I am so very sorry about your loss.
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 I was told by several doctors that I was going to have a very difficult time conceiving without medical help. It was hard news to swallow but my now husband and I had faith things would work out, especially since I am still only 21. I found out two weeks ago that I was finally pregnant. 5 weeks along. I was so excited. We told our friends and family. Then this past Tuesday night I began spotting. Wednesday, my husband took me to the hospital where I lost my baby.
Avatar f tn s not like miscarriage is something to be ashamed of, and if you are in grief, your friends will want to know why. There is a lot of support out there among women who have had miscarriages. I wouldn't hesitate to tell your closest friends and your family that you have miscarried, even if you hadn't announced the pregnancy yet.
Avatar f tn I'm so sorry for your loss. I know how hard it is. I really do. I should have a two month old baby by now, but I don't because I had a miscarriage at 9 weeks and 5 days. There is no set amount of time to grieve and don't you let anyone else make you think otherwise. I had a really hard time trying to cope with my miscarriage (and still do at times).
136689 tn?1419580447 I'm so sorry to hear that :( Take it easy, let your body heal and when you feel the time is right try again. I know it doesn't make the loss and grief any easier but the majority of women experience atleast one miscarriage in their reproductive lifetime. I have had 2 and a full term stillbirth (cord related) so I understand your loss, but I also have 4 beautiful healthy kids and I'm 8 weeks pregnant.
Avatar f tn I'm so, so sorry for your loss. There is nothing quite like the emptiness after losing an infant. My two-month-old son, Ian, passed away on Sept 5, 2009 from a brain tumor. It was very quick and very unexpected. He got sick one day, and 24 hours later he was on life support. Our lives will never be the same. I just keep reminding myself to get through the next hour, the next day, the next week...and now I've made it six months. I can't believe I've come this far.
Avatar n tn I'm sorry about your loss hun, I am coping my own miscarriage as well but I was only 5 weeks & 3 days. But as for your question: Yes bleeding for couple weeks is very normal unless you are bleeding super heavy that you have to change every hour & have constant cramps, then yes you need to go see the doctor. But if the bleeding is regular is normal... HAVE IN MIND, every woman is different... some bleed for 1 week others would bleed up to 4 weeks...
2052746 tn?1330383218 Hi there, Im 25 and just had my first miscarriage. I was in hospital for quite a few days, they did a camera Op to check for en ectopic pregnancy then the next day they decided that it was non-going so they had to do a D&C. I seem to have an emotional detachment from it all..I cried while in hospital when people spoke to me about the miscarriage or the chance that it would be one but now I dont seem to have any emotions concerning the loss of my baby. I named it and recognize it but..
470885 tn?1326329037 Hi everyone! I'm a 30 year old female from Canada....have been lurking on the site for a couple of months now, reading posts - and I finally just decided to join you :-) Anyway....basically, I just want to know how you deal with health anxiety, for those of you who experience this? I lost my mom to kidney cancer nearly 6 years ago and thought I'd dealt with my grief (never sought counselling at the time, though)....
