in Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss
Hi ladies.. I'm coming from the January boards and full of emotions. I was pregnant with my first and my DH and I were over the moon excited!! This past Saturday I started to bleed and cramp and I just knew something was wrong. I went to the Dr today (exactly 6 weeks) and sure enough I had miscarried Saturday night. im lucky enough that I naturally passed everything and will not need a D&C I'm extremely heartbroken and break down in tears spontaneously.

I'm hoping the support from the January boards will be just as strong here. As I am so unsure of how to feel or get pass this.

    I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my twins this past week. One last Sunday and one Friday. Sorry I don't have any advice since this is a fresh wound for me also. All I can say is yesterday I could talk about it in a very matter of fact manner and only cried once for just a few mins. Today I cried 3 individual times and the third lasted for a couple of hrs. I hear it gets better with time, right now just take it one hour at a time.

    I am sorry for your loss. The first week is definitely the hardest.

    I'm sorry for your loss, I loss my baby last Friday so it's still a fresh wound for me as well. I've noticed as time goes it is getting easier.

    Thanks ladies! I guess my biggest challenge is trying to figure out how one minute I saw the heartbeat and then about 5 hours later gone

    It does get better, it hurts so much but does get better.  I am now 8wks from finding out that my baby had no heartbeat, it is shocking to me that I've known for almost as long as my baby was with me.  I'm so sorry for your loss.  Take it a day at a time, the first week is the hardest, but I can tell you that this last weekend I had an epic meltdown so I'm definitely still feeling the loss.

    I'm so sorry for your loss. My first two pregnancies ended in miscarriage, and it's so tough because finding out you're pregnant for the first time is so exciting. There's no right way to feel, but I think it's normal to cycle through intense sadness, intense anger, and moments of feeling "ok" (or at least feeling like you can function in public).  It gets easier with time, you just have to ride out the first couple weeks and do whatever it takes to get through the day. I always tell people to stay away from facebook, especially as you near the 12 week mark, because that is when you will see people announcing their pregnancies who have due dates around the same time as you, and for me that caused a huge setback.

    I'm also new here from the January Board. I can't even click around The Bump to get to this board without feeling angry that I can't go back there anymore. I'm so sorry for your loss and I'm also hoping to feel the same type of support here as I did there. So far, all we can do is just hang on each and every day, pray for the best and hope for the future.

    Hi, i'm also from the January boards and I just found out today that we are no longer expecting. The only thing that was wrong was the yolk sac missing from the gestational sac on my ultrasound, I had no bleeding or severe cramping.  My dr. determined my pregnancy a Blighted Ovum.  Even though it was in the early stages this still stings the heart and I have been very emotional.  I had to take the rest of the day off with work, I couldn't handle people keep asking me if I was ok.  It was the first time for us and we were so excited.  Now I have all the symptoms including morning sickness that lasts most of the day to remind me that I have a pregnancy that will never happen.  I am so sorry you have to go through this too, and I will be sending many thoughts and wishes your way.
