Jeannine, I''m really sorry to hear this. You and the baby are in my prayers. BIG HUG!
 
I''m so sorry that this turned out this way. Try and take care of yourself. I thinking of you and your family.
 
I''m sorry for you loss. I''ll keep you in my prayers.
 
Thanks everyone....I appreciate the hugs.

I''m actually doing much better than I anticipated. I guess, a second miscarriage is easier to get through when you have a busy toddler to distract you with his precocious antics. My son''s a goofy little comedian, as well as a total sweetie, so I''m one lucky momma to have him.

I''m a little sad, but mostly just have this weird hollow feeling. But I reallllly feel thankful that it happened early & required no surgery to complete it.

And not to make light of anything, but when I get in a sad situation, I always try to tell myself, "its not something like cancer, my family is all alive and healthy, and that''s what matters". I know women who have lost so much more (like seeing the baby on an ultrasound...and losing it 2nd or 3rd trimester). Now that is so utterly tragic to me. Or parents who bury their children. That is simply a horror.

So I''ll take my miscarriage, my fibroids, and I''ll give it the attention it needs so I can heal and get past this, but I can''t help but think that I''m still a very lucky woman, and this shall pass.

And it helps to have such nice sentiments from such a wonderful community like this...you have all made my day a little better. Thank you.

Jeannine
 
i'm sorry things ended up this way, but you're right, maybe it's for the best. and with the doctor's help, maybe next time it will be the right time. it's hard to see the sunny side when things seem so dark. but you're a very strong and optimistic person.
i'll be thinking of you and your family and sending you thoughts/prayers your way for the completeness and healing you seek.
 
I''m so glad to hear you''re doing well. And you''re right, this too shall pass. Hoping each day brings more closure.
 
Jeannine-

I am so sorry.

I love your attitude Jeannine. I wish you success in your subsequent pregnancies, and may you enjoy that sweet little comedian with all your heart!

So sorry, Jeannine. I lost a baby late in pregnancy several years ago, so I feel with you. You''re on the right track letting your little guy be a comfort and distraction. God bless!
 
Jeannine,
I''m really sorry it has turned out this way. you are in my thoughts.
 
Oh, I am sorry. You are right to put it into perspective, and yes, it could have been worse, and yes, count your lucky stars, but it''s still important to let yourself feel what you feel without guilt or unease. Do give yourself permission to grieve, then you can move on.

I''ll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Christa, this is why I feel the way I do. I can''t even imagine how that must have been. I lost a pregnancy, and I was barely 6 weeks...(this is my second miscarriage, my first was before my son, at 8 weeks). Both times, there was no sign of a fetus, so that was some comfort.

This is why I can''t let this get me down too much, I know it could have been much worse, and I am so so sorry to hear you had to go through that. It''s also why I''m just grateful for my life as it is. I loved my son so much when I was carrying him, I can''t even wrap my head around your statement, you are very kind to sympathize, and I hope you have a lot of happiness and joy in your life.

Jeannine
 
Thanks Jeannine, I definitely do. It was horrible, and I wallowed for a while, but eventually what it came down to is that while it was totally not fair, it''s also not fair that I have three healthy kids and many others have been unable to have even one. It sounds like you have that same attitude, so I''m sure you''ll be fine. How soon do we start praying for you to get pregnant again?

I''ve been pregnant 6 times and have 3 children... I''ve always been fairly philosophical about it... after the first miscarriage I embraced the silver lining that at least I knew I could GET pregnant... and then I had a baby! After the baby when I had another miscarriage I told myself, just another fluke, because I also knew I could have a baby! and I did again! That doesn''t mean there weren''t tears and disappointment, just glad I could find SOMETHING to hold on to! I also bled during all of my children''s pregnancies, I had a tear in my placenta at 14 weeks with the last that bled cupfulls and they told me with certainty I''d lost it. I had a burst cyst with #2 that bled and cramped really bad... pregnancy and even the first year are so wrought with anxiety... it sucks!! You''ve just got to hang in there and get the help where it is needed and kiss your little boy a little extra every day just because you can :)

And Christa - I''m very sorry for your loss as well...
 
Thanks Cehra, but honestly I didn''t mean to make this thread about me. It was over 5 years ago . . . it was such a defining thing in my life in some ways, though, and it always "gets me" to hear about anyone going through something similiar.
 
Jeanine, stay healthy and I wish you luck in the future. And certainly vent as much as you need here on PS. I''ve found it so comforting myself! Any loss is a tragedy. But you always gain strength from every experience you go through.
 
I am so sorry to read about your loss. But I take heart in your positive attitude. My thoughts are with you.
 
Jeannine

[[[HUGS]]]

You will be in my prayers as well

Kelly
 
I''m so very sorry.

*** hugs ***
 
I am so sorry.
 
I am so sorry for your loss. As a young woman who desperately wants children one day, I can''t imagine how this must feel... But I am deeply touched and saddened, trying to hold back tears.

I''ll be praying for you tonight, if you don''t mind.
 
Awww, thanks Anchor,... (thanks EVERYONE!)

I did really well until Sunday night, then I just kinda unraveled at the seams. Shock, anger, sadness, etc. I''ve been keeping busy, but it really feels like you lose a little bit of yourself. I''m just taking it one day at a time & today has been better than the last few days. Plus I can start working out again, so I think a couple good runs will pound some of the frustration out of my system & at least relieve some of the physical stress I feel.

I am keeping as busy as I can, I did get my kitchen cupboards re-arranged and re-organized, nothing like a monotonous project to take your mind off things. Now...the laundry beckons.

Later!

Jeannine

That''s to be expected for a while . . . I know you''re trying to keep a positive attitude, which is great, but don''t push yourself to "get over it" too quickly. Give yourself a chance to grieve a little. Or a lot.

Hugs and Prayers to all of you strong & courageous women.
