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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
2006473 tn?1422033301 My friend recently found out she was pregnant again. She has been worried about it since she miscarried last time around. She told me this morning that she thinks she may be having another miscarriage. My husband and I are trying to have a baby as well and I don't know what to say to her. I told her she can talk to me whenever and that I am here for her but it just doesn't feel like enough. Any suggestions?
1195411 tn?1277328333 There are professionals out there that focus on m/c and grief. You may find that to help. Grief is a terrible road to walk down and it can be quite bumpy. The road can start to feel like it goes on forever. Our bodies need time to heal it take 3 or more cycles for everything to regulate. Our general health may be the affected the most. It's very important to have a follow up app w your dr to ensure that your body is healing and that there are no signs of any complications.
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 n tn I have had several miscarriages and have 4 beautiful babies with 1 on the way. The best advice I have is to take it one day at a time and when you all are ready enjoy each other. Don't be anxious about the process if it doesn't happen right away because by the grace of God it may, let it in due time. I personally trusted in Jesus through everything because God is a restorer but that's my testimony and yours is yours. Many blessings to you on this journey.
Avatar f tn Well :( I went to my dr this morning for an ultrasound that I've been so excited about. I'm 7 weeks and was hoping to head my baby's heart beat but instead they told me they didn't hear/see anything and informed me that they believe I've had a missed miscarriage. They told me to come back Monday for another Ultrasound and of everything is the same that I would need to schedule a DNC. My heart is broken! I am 26, no kids.
Avatar f tn I started my first meeting on Sunday - that was hard but I felt relief. I know I need aftercare - I know I need grief counseling too. I can go thru my work or my church but I want someone who knows what there doing because to tell the truth I have 7 years of he** to come to terms with (I used to numb EVERYTHING). Something's still overwhelm me but I know now what it feels like so I take a walk or go someplace quiet or simply focus on breathing - it gets me past that moment.
Avatar f tn I googled complicated grief and found information at the Mayo.com site. "For some people, feelings of loss are debilitating and don't improve even after time passes. This is known as complicated grief. In complicated grief, painful emotions are so long lasting and severe that you have trouble accepting the loss and resuming your own life.
Avatar f tn I'm right there with you.
Avatar m tn One moinute im fine then the grief kicks in again and i still see her lying on the hospital bed lifeless.They say times a great healer i know its only been 6 weeks but i still cant get my head around it.If it wasnt for my two daughters i think i would have given up.Its just not fair my wife was only 45.
Avatar f tn We also have a miscarriage forum here where you can share your loss and grief with other women who understand. I'm posting a link below. I hope you have a support network of family and friends to get you through this time. If you need to talk or just want to vent you can PM me anytime. Again I am very sorry you are having to go through this. Losing a child is the worst pain a mother can feel. With time it does get easier. I find little things help me to get by...
1634919 tn?1300154298 If the embryo stopped growing and no heartbeat is detected and she is also bleeding bright red blood with clots it is very likely a miscarriage. BUT the womb in very early pregnancy can be such a mystery and the bleeding could be the result of something else. Her dates could be off because the dates are merely estimations.
Avatar f tn It is such a difficult thing to go thru. I have been mourning for our little one since our miscarriage in May 2010. Things have finally gotten better. I went thru some depression and anger but I think I am finally thru the worst of it. It just takes time. You need to let yourself mourn and go thru the process. Looked to loved ones for support and find a why to grieve and remember the loss that lets you move on, as heatherNalan did.
Avatar f tn I just had a miscarriage. Im crying right now because I just lost someone who meant the world to me.
Avatar f tn m to a scheduled ultrasound got it done still bleeding and they told me I had a miscarriage baby was suppose to been 9 weeks but the baby stop growing at 6 weeks ....
Avatar f tn So I had a miscarriage a month ago and this just *****! I went to hospital last night to see my best friend's brand new baby. I'm so happy for her, but my grieve is terrible. I put on what I think passed for a happy face, but could hardly make it to my car before the tears started. Wish I could just wake up tomorrow and it would be months down the road and I would feel better. I hate having to wait on "time" to get over this.
Avatar f tn My friend and I are pregnant at the same time. I'm 12 weeks and she's 7.5 weeks. Last night she had a miscarriage. I'm not sure how to act around her. We were both so excited to be pregnant. I'm not even comfortable talking about my pregnancy around her anymore. Any suggestions how I can mourn her pregnancy and still be happy for my pregnancy?
Avatar f tn Part of me was relieved, and then I felt guilt and hated myself for feeling any type of relief, and then of course the rest of me felt nothing but intense grief at the baby I lost and that I felt I hadnt appreciated enough while I was lucky enough to have her. Its been two weeks since and though I am up out of bed and doing what I should I cant shake the grief and hurt at the loss of her. I also feel completly alone and slightly betrayed by my husband.
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.
