six weeks

today i had my miscarriage confirmed.i have all the symptoms, sore breasts, heartburn and sickness. i was so sure the few hours of bleeding would be ok. my mum bled for half her pegnancy. everyone reassured me.i work at a nursery surrounded by babies. i have a 10yr old daughter already but once i divorced i thought i would never have the chance again. then James came along. he is much younger than i and not ready for a family. then after a night together and not using contraception (a joint decision) i fell pregnant. i knew after a week i felt it. i still feel it.James came around to the idea, my family and i were overjoyed. then last week i got a cramp. on going to the toilet i noticed period like blood. the hospital said it was too early for a scan. then as quickly as the bleeding started , it stopped. i felt fine. now i feel so miserable. James is working away from home and i have no baby. i cant try again because as i said James doesnt want them. i am 34 now anddont know what to do with myself. i know i haveto be strong for my daughter but inside i am falling apart.is there light at the end of the tunnel for me???

Our sweet baby boy,you'll forever be loved.

Hi, Im a 28 year old mom of a 3 year old baby girl,and this was our second pregnancy,uhmm, we had a due date for june 26-wich happens to be my grandmotherr's b-day too-, i was uhmm 19 weeks pregnant it was a baby boy.... we were so excited and.. we couldnt wait to see what he would look like...

on sunday February 10th,I started to feel contractions and we calll the doctor and asked us to got get tested because it could be an infeccion on my urine.. so we did, but the pain never went away,we asked her to check us with an ultrasound.. after a whiile she asked us to go upstairs to get a more professional ultrasound, because she couldnt find the babys heartbeat..
I had to be admited , labor had to be induced so my body would expel the baby naturally... and clean me up inside..so.. I still cry... up to this day... its sooo hard...and we werent given the babys body.. they told us it was way too small.. apparently it a was a virus..but i never felt anything....What pisses me off the most its that i asked them if i could seee him, they said yes, but after he came out.. they took him away to pathology...
Its been 5 months, and we had the 6 months limit to start trying again, but i have to be honest... im terrified............

my poor little angel

I was really excited to go to 12 week scan on 9th July '08 and all i could think was "I’m going to see my baby for the first time!!" when my husband had asked me that morning if i was nervous i had just assumed everything would be fine. I’m in my early 20's, I’m fit and healthy and this was my first pregnancy, surely nothing would go wrong. At the time miscarriage, to me, was something that happened to other people, i never thought it'd happen to me! I’d always assumed that if i WERE going to miscarry i would bleed and be in pain, but as I’d had neither of those i overlooked that possibility. At my scan the nurse turned to me and said "I’m very sorry but I’ve got some bad news…I’m afraid your pregnancy isn’t going to continue, i couldn't detect a heartbeat and the baby stopped growing at around 8 weeks...your baby has died" and then i just started crying uncontrollably and didn't stop crying for about an hour. I had been carrying my baby around for 4 weeks since it had died, how could i not have known? I was told I’d had a ‘missed miscarriage’. The nurse said that i could wait for my body to expel the baby naturally, but that it was likely to be a slow process giving that I’d carried it for 4 weeks and nothing had happened in that time or I could have an ERPC. I chose the latter because now that i knew I’d miscarried i wanted it all to be over as quickly as possible so that we could start trying again. I was so overwhelmed and just wanted everything to be normal again as soon as possible. I’ve kept my scan picture so I’ll never forget my baby and everyday since we found out I’ve thought about my little baby and cried, but I know there was nothing I could have done for it, poor thing. My husband and I both feel sadness for our lost baby but are really anxious to start trying again, and everyone has been really supportive towards us both which has helped us come to terms with it.

3rd pregnancy this year!

Hi, just thought i would write my story and hopefully get some advice. I find myself pregnant for the 3rd time since last July. The other two i both had what i now know as 'missed miscarriages' at 8 weeks. on the second m/c they carried out tests and found that the baby ( a lil girl), had 3 copies of one particular trisomey (22) and that was the reason i lost it. I firmly believe as the first one was a text book copy of the 2nd that that was the same reason the baby died. I am 42 and do have two older children but my partner and i of 8 yeasr would really like a baby of our own. I have just done another p/test and find myself really scared. When they carried out the test on the last m/c they rec. pre-natal screening and by coincendence i am due to go to the clinic this Tuesday. I do not even know if i should tell them i am pregnant as maybe they would say i should of waited for the results from the test, the docs have mentioned their could be a possibility my partner and i just cannot have babies together. Either way there is nothing they can do so i don't know if i shall just wait and see how far this goes, after losing 2 you almost expect to lose another! Anyway thats my story for now, if anyone is of similar circum. please could you reply. Thanks alot. I know i was probably mad to try soo soon, but there is nothing like losing a baby to make you want another straight away, i hope whoever is reading this understands??
