Miscarriage and Child Loss:Hi Everyone!
2007-09-29
Name: Tryingtobepositive



Hello Everyone!

I hope all of you are doing well.I was extremely busy the last couple of days and unable to access the internet because of the same.But I have been thinking about what I am going to say next.Hopefully,it will come out right and no one will be offended.

All most all of us here are going through the loss of our baby.SOme of us have lost them in the first trimester,some much later on.But still all of us have lost our baby.Is one' s loss greater than the other' s,I don' t think so.I personally think that people like myself,who lost their babies in the first trimester find it easier to cope than others who lost them at time of birth or in the last few weeks of the pregnancy.Thats just because we didnot get enough time to know our babies.But we still formed an instant bond.We had a dream and we had a life inside us.And we realised what being a mother feels like.And all of us have lost a part of ourselves.Life will never be the same because we are not the same.I am very different now than I was before I got pregnant.And even if I try hard,I cannot go back to what I was six months ago.But I am grateful that even if only for a few weeks,I was able to have life inside me and know what it feels like to be a mother.

Dear Friends,please believe me that our babies are not too far from us.They will always be in our hearts and memories.We will always feel their presence around us.And they will come back to us.

We all are part of this indiaparenting family because each and everyone of us is looking for support and wanting to help others.Sometimes we are able to express ourselves well and sometimes we are not.But nobody visiting this thread is meaning to hurt anyone else.Lets just try to be more understanding of each other and also be a little careful with our words.

As most of you are aware,Shraddh started on Sept 27th.Lets all of us pray for the souls of our babies.

I am going to end with a few more thoguhts.I know everyone is grieving.We are just at different stages of grieving.Will we ever stop grieving,I don' t think so.But lets try to think about our babies in a fond way.Like Radha posted several weeks ago,lets build memories,write a letter or a poem.Remember,your babies are around and they can feel you and hear you.

Also,please try to relax and stay positive.Think from the end.Picture yourself with a healthy and beautiful baby.Believe me the time will come when all of us will be blessed with healthy and beautiful babies.Lets be each other' s strengths and help each other get through this.

Thats all for now.

With Warmest Wishes,

TBP

hi TBP,

u r right if we look around we will find our pains less....u know the same thingf was told to me by my Brother in Law when i was in hospital and it was the second day after the loss....actully he was in the proceese of divoricing his wife of 3 yrs....he asked me just one simple question that...Bhabhi u lost ur association of 9 months and i lost my association of 3odd years....who' s loss is bigger??????
and u know lying on that bed ...i replied it is urs because u saw her moving, talking , smiling,laughing , sharing.......around u ....its yours...
then he said no bhabhi its urs because it was ur own creation...it was in u...and she was totally out of my reach....just tried to console each other.
i would like share something with all u people....sudha must be knowing it .it was from her city....a aged couple lost there son of 20 yrs on the day when they were to celeberate 25th marriage anniversary...they exchanged there wedding ring infront of their sons coffin.....
listening to such stories we find ourselves in a bit comfrotable position.....i know loss is loss wether of 2 day , 2 month, or 2years or 20 year
.....
just be happy

RE:Coping With a Miscarriage
Hello there. How are you?. I hope you are doing fine. Your questions are very valid to ask. Miscarriage is a terrible thing to happen to anyone. It is feared by every woman. My sister went through 2 miscarriages a few years back. Her husband used to be out of town a lot so i accompanied her through her doctors appointments. After her second miscarriage, her doctor told her... - Olivia [View Message]
RE:Coping With a Miscarriage
Infertility is a very hard thing to hit a woman. I can't imagine what it must be like. My sister went through it. She was told that she was infertile by her doctor. Her husband was a doctor too, but besides all the knowledge they could do nothing. Then they tried going for IVF. At first they were resistant, they were double minded. But then my sister went to various fertil... - Lillian [View Message]

Hey Richa, hope you are doing well. I am sorry to hear about it.I know what you have gone through. Toughest period is when one is TTC.The worst part is the miscarriages and 3 of them makes it even more hard to cope with. I agree with your husband and would advice you to take a break also. Try to regain your health.Rushing into things wont solve them. Consult a specialist a... - katherine [View Message]
RE:RE:Coping With a Miscarriage
Hey! I am so sorry to hear about your friend. Infertility is truly very painful. I can understand how your friend would be feeling. You must stay by her side forever. It is not easy but she needs your support. She must be feeling terrible. I am also infertile. I remember when I first got to know about my infertility. I could not stop blaming myself. I only felt better when... - Irene Camron [View Message]
RE:Coping With a Miscarriage
Hey! I hope you are doing well. Miscarriages are a terrible thing that can happen to a family. It is like your dream of having a child and the next moment it is all gone. There are various reasons why miscarriages happen. But I do not think that miscarriages should affect the relationship. It is the responsibility of the husband to understand that no one is at fault. If th... - Irene Camron [View Message]
RE:Pregnancy after Miscarriage
Hi there. I hope you are doing fine. I am so sorry to hear your story. Miscarriage can be very difficult to deal with. I had two miscarriages myself. And my world had just shattered. I was so devastated. But then my doctor told me to go for IVF. I wasn't on board with it, but my husband thought it was the right decision. So, after 2 tries i was finally pregnant. I am curre... - Olivia [View Message]
