after a miscarriage, advice please
ok so i have very recently had a miscarriage at 10weeks & 1 day, my emotions & hormones are still all over the place & i'm still trying to comes to terms with it all & get my head together. I guess i'd just like to hear from others who have been through the same, advice as to how you managed to deal with it & it would be really nice to hear some positive stories to remind me there is light at the end of the tunnel

-Everyone was so happy I was pregnant with number two but I knew something wasn't right... I missed my first OB appointment because of miscommunication of the location of my new OB had moved to so I had to reschedule for 2 in a half weeks later.
When I got my ultrasound, before they even thought of telling me, I knew the baby had died. I was almost 9 weeks and the baby had died around 5 1/2 weeks. I knew it, I felt it, before I actually miscarried the fetus. It was tough and very heartbreaking. But another baby at that time just wasn't meant to be, obviously. Everything happens for a reason, or so I keep getting told.
He or she would be turning one year old today.
To @Cali83 @kayleigh27 @momofmany79 thanks for your comments & support, sorry you have also been through similar & congratulations on your current pregnancies, it does give me hope. I am lucky to have support of a brilliant partner, family & friends & do know when/if the time is right it will happen xx
im so sorry to hear of your loss. heres my story.
I got engaged in july 2010. We said we'd wait till after the wedding to start trying (wedding set for october). Well sept i found out i was prego, even tho it wasnt great timing i was excited. 2 days b4 we left for our vegas wedding i had my first dr appt and ultrasound. The next day i found out it was a blighted ovum (just an empty sac). I was packing for my wedding weekend at the time. I wasnt able to really grieve for my loss. I had to focus on the joy instead of the pain. It was difficult to try and not think of it. I cried on the drive to vegas and on the way back, but did manage to hold myself together the rest of the time. I told myself everything happens for a reason, even if i didnt know what the reason was at the time.
I have a 13 yr old, from another relationship. He was very upset about the preg. He even cried at school about it. He kept saying i was not going to pay attention to him anymore. Well when i told him there wasnt going to b a baby, that i was gonna lose it, he was upset. He hung his head down & said "i guess u never really know what u have till its gone". It was so sweet it made me cry.
Now im 10 weeks prego and he's so excited. He asked if he could come with me to one of my ultrasounds. When he kisses me goodbye in the morning he touches my belly & tells the baby goodbye. It's so sweet and im thankful that i got this "silver lining" to my dark cloud.
Thanks, sounds like you really had a hard time, so glad u have a little one the way. Amazing how much the pain eased once i was pregnant again. Congrats.
