I, too, am at a loss for words. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm so sorry Kelpie. The most important thing you can do now is take care of yourself.

Silverleaf

So very saddened for your experience over the loss of your baby. I and my husband have experienced the heartbreak of a miscarriage. Our prayers are with you at this time. I hope your mum will continue to support you and help you through this time. It sounds like she will. Just take one day at a time kelpie,and don't expect too much of yourself right now.

Love, ARoarer

I am so very sorry for you and Rick. I lost a baby about 2 and half years ago. I was 8 weeks pregnant. It was so hard to mourn for a baby that never lived outside my body and heart. Except for me, I was the only who truly felt the baby was real. Even my husband had not made the baby "real" in his heart. It was so hard to go to the KH, too, because there was another sister who was pregnant and only 2 weeks ahead of me. So when she got bigger and her due date approached, it just got harder and harder. Even when I got pregnant with my beloved Teryn, I was hesitant to tell anyone til I was 12 weeks along. And when the other sister gave birth to her baby in December, I was already pregnant, I still mourned my lost little baby.

I will tell you this! Get your body checked and have some blood tests. My doctor said that normally they let you have 3 miscarriages before they will do some of the tests. At 8-10 weeks, a woman can be low on progesterone. I asked the doctor about this and she said due to my age (and her kind-heartedness) that she did not want me to experience the 3 miscarriages since you have to wait to get pg again about 3 or 4 months to build up your uterine lining. So, when I was 8 weeks along on the second pg, they did the progesterone test and sure enough, I was low.

If you are low in progresterone, the placenta cannot hang on to the uterus. My next door neighbor had gone thru the same thing which is why I knew about this. Thank God she told me, thank God I told the doctor and thank God they did the test! I had to take progesterone until I was past the 1st trimester and then the baby makes its own progesterone and your out of the woods. I know how you're feeling. Message me if you want.................

Wait a few months, then get pregnant again............. I now have a 2 year old who is the biggest joy in my life!

I was also low on progesterone, that's why I lost both babies at nine weeks. The injections also helped prevent me from miscarrying my third baby (my daughter). (i had other problems too though and ended up in bed the whole pregnancy, but was worth it!)

definitely keep it in mind about the progesterone testing...might save you more heartache later.

hugs to you simplesally! and more hugs to Kelpie and Rick ((((((((hugs))))))))

Yup, this was the problems with my wife's pregnancy. It can definitely be treated.

Thanks Sally, Ghost and Ashitaka

I will definately look into the progesterone issue. Anything to prevent us going through all that again.

If you have any suggestions. eg, any herbal ways that I can increase the progesterone in my body, I will be glady willingly to hear them.

Bliss - thanks for the visit today and the gifts for us and the children. Much appreciated.

Thanks again for everything

I'm soooo sorry to hear this.....I just want to say that it is not your fault and don't beat yourself up because this happened. Seek some counselling to help you with the grief. Just know and trust that you will heal from the dub-isms and the loss of your baby....'cuz you will heal, sweety.

You are loved.

Kelpie,

I understand that this thread would have been a painful thing for you to write, but thank you for being willing to share your experience.

As painful as this situation is, I feel it is important to be able to discuss tragedies like this. It is a subject that is normally hushed away. Yet so many women have miscarriages every day. It is something that any woman who is capable of conceiving has the potential of experiencing. There isn't much information openly available about miscarriages - which makes it hard for any woman who has one. And I think it is important to be aware of what happens, and the resultant emotions and physiological implications, even before a woman becomes pregnant.

We women need to be educated, and aware of what can happen to our bodies. We have the wonderful capacity to bring forth future generations - something that is too easily taken for granted.
