First of all, I just love your blog. Your posts are so honest and heartfelt that i feel like i know you. I also suffered miscarriages, three including a set of twins, albeit late in the 1st trimester so still relatively early on. I absolutely remember “waiting to bleed” every time after the first one…so when i did miscarry it was with a mix of “i knew it!” and “i cannot believe this is happening again!” I actually think I was more shocked when it worked and I finally had two amazing little boys back to back – within 12 months of each other. The hardest thing to do was letting go of the fear that it could happen again…you really never do. It puts parenting in a whole different perspective for me. I get frsutrated but man, I sure do cherish and am amazing by every little tiny cell that makes up their bodies. Anyway, thanks for sharing and I really hope you start to feel better soon. Sigh.

Oh, Beth. How painful. I am so sorry. I have a friend, Ashley, who’s ‘just waiting to miscarry’ right now…she’s due in August…and been told that the baby’s not growing, and they couldn’t find a heartbeat, and she’s been told she’ll miscarry. I can’t imagine that painful wait.

When I got pregnant again after I miscarried I would panic at all the DR’s visits expecting him to tell me that I had miscarried again. I would wait to start bleeding and pray everytime we went to the DR to hear the heartbeat. It was not until I could feel my daughter move that I actually started to relax a little. But when she did not move I would push on my belly to get a reaction from her. I didn’t want to get my hopes up. I did not want to feel the pain again of losing another baby. I don’t know if I ever truely relaxed until after I gave birth but I did start to enjoy being pregnant. I still think about that little boy I lost. I think about how old he would be and what he would be doing. I look at the ultrasound photo that was taken at the first DR’s visit now and then. He will be a part of me forever.

Thank you for sharing you story so that people who have not gone through this will find some understanding in the feeling of loss others have after they have miscarried. Also, for letting those of us who have miscarried know that we are not alone and that they are not the only one who thinks about the child that would have been.
