a week is not that long. let yourself grieve and be sad and you will come out the other side soon. and keep looking at your beautiful dd! [ Reply | More

you are not only grieving for your child but also for you lost illusions. Until one has lost a pg it never seems possible and since you already have a db you know exactly how much you really lost so it is a double whammy. I am sorry for your loss. I had 3 m/cs and none were as diff as the 1st because after that I tried not to "believe" in the baby till it was safe. However, I did go on to have 2 more dbs after so do not give up hope.

Honestly? Not for a long time. But I know for me it was also such a knock to my self identity - up till then I'd prided myself on being the ultimate "earth mother". I'd gotten pg twice at the first try & was a sahm so it never occurred to me that anything could go wrong. It just knocked the stuffing out of me. Of course after, every 2nd woman told me "of that happened to me too" [ Reply | More

wow, i feel the SAME way. although, i feel very alone since none of my friends have had mc's so there's no one to tell me, "hey, i've been there"...i know all the "right" things to feel: it wasnt meant to be, this is natures way of taking care of something that wasn't healthy, etc...i feel like i need to just wake up one day and say "you know, my life is pretty good...we'll get thru this...I'll get pg again and go on have a healthy baby" but for now i just keep waking up and remembering that i'm no longer pregnant. and thats a pretty sad way to start the day.

don't try & make yourself feel what you "should" feel. You feel what you feel & you will get past it. The important thing is to focus on what you do have right now - your beautiful db. Just spend time with her & you will eventually feel better. [ Reply | More
