I can’t imagine how she is feeling, at least she has found a therapeutic way to move through her pain by writing her thoughts down.

I had a miscarriage before I got pregnant with my now 8 and half month old son Harrison, so I totally empathize with you. I had never experienced any complications or difficulties with my first pregnancy so miscarriage came as a huge shock to me. It was a very painful experience for me – both physically and emotionally. I remember feeling so sad and I still feel sad when I think back to the whole ordeal. I tried Misoprostal but it didn’t work for me. I then had a D&C, which was a very quick and painless procedure. I was finally able to get some closure and move on. I had my miscarriage in the November and got pregnant in early February after just 1 normal cycle. As I said before, I now have the most perfect baby boy. At the time, people tried to help me rationalize that the miscarriage was a ‘blessing in disguise’, that it wasn’t meant to be, that G-d was sparing me from a potentially worse situation. All those things made me feel slightly better but they also made me feel angry because deep down I wanted to feel allowed to be sad and I needed to feel the pain to work through it. At the end of the day, the only thing that healed me completely was getting pregnant again. Everything worked out the way it was supposed to, but it was a dark time for me. No one understands the disappointment or sadness unless they’ve been through it themselves. I just wanted to share my experience with you. My story has a very happy ending as I’m sure yours will too. Hang in there.
Nicky
