I saw your message on the main message boards page, and was wondering if you were the one who used to post earlier. I am shocked and sad to find that you are.

I cannot imagine what you must have gone through, please accept my condolences. I'll be praying for you and your husband and hoping that you will heal and find peace.

Aparna.

Subject:  Hi ...



I am logged in the oct forum too..very active people there..I saw ur note as soon as i logged on to indiaparenting site..was touched seeing ur mail..yes i think of u often, not so much because of pregnancy..but since we share losses of loved one..no matter how old or young..DOn't worry, I trust God and now unfortunate incidents am not so scared of them, because everytime we have overcome them...and we learn a lot from them..all it has taught me is to trust God, do my best, rest I don't worry its upto Him to decide whats best for us and I have 3 angels looking after me..Pa,Ma and my grandma. So lot of \";sifarish to God\"; from them to take care of me hopefully..and they know about u too if they are listening to me...and taking care of u if i know my parents, they will..
Hope u r doing fine..don't lose ur cheerfulness and smile..don't worry about me either..I have become quite tough now..and surrounded by family and friends who were and are very mentally strong and don't allow me to think negative, i enjoy more i think than before because know the value of having the people i have with me now...take care of ur health, eat well and start a every day with new hopes and smiles...take care.
u can mail me anytime u need to talk at radhikap(at) hotmail(dot)com.
Take care..i will update my news to u here...

Subject:  Sorry..



Sorry Karuna...that is very difficult.
Sometimes just leaving a body is better than being in pain. Thats how i comfort myself when I try to find a reason for losing my Pa and Ma. Ma was in coma for a month,seeing someone u love on bed that long is painful for them and us, so think it was a better decision from GOd to take her, so also Pa had chemo for 3 months ,seeing someone so active,independent in bed was painful too and had chances of being disabled..now when i think of it, feel atleast he didn't suffer much, and had a good healthy life 90% of the time..though we miss them, would be selfish on my part to expect him to live with pain for us, I would prefer both never fell ill ever. SO i can understand how u feel. Pa had to make a very difficult decision to keep Ma on the ventilator all her life or let her leave us...and letting her go was best so atleast soul was in peace and didn't suffer with us. God gives us courage to make decisions such times...I cannot imagine the pain u are in..it took me 2 years to get over losing Ma. I hope u don't get into the loop like i did, was brave in front of Pa but inside was a wreck, till i ended up asking for help myself, no one knew of it, got better with counselling, learned relaxation techniques, living life..and to date that was the best education i ever received..so don't hesitate to ask for help from friends, outside if u feel low..i will try the best i can thru this forum.
I am in my 6th month of pregnancy now..
was talking to my husband y'day about u. We both pray and hope God gives u strength to get over it, a loss of a person and memories will always be there, but time heals. Helping others helped me during my time of grief.
Be positive..have a nice day..
Love
Radhika

Thanks a lot Radhika for ur caring message..and I'm sorry u had to go through all that..it must be very difficult for u to bear all that.
There r bad times in everybody's life, no one can be perfectly happy in this life...and we would have to accept that fact which is very difficult to do at times.
But my dear sweet friend, now that ur pregnant u should not visit this abortion and miscarriage site..u should be very happy for ur baby and should be peaceful from inside. Just don't think about ur past losses and my loss, keep urself calm and happy ok?
I was a june board member here in this site and all of them were very helpful and good...out of all those lot only I was the person who got to be so unlucky..my fate!! Anyways think good and positive.
I'll pray for ur safe pregnancy.
Take care,
hugs,
Karuna

I am so sorry to hear the news..I have 3 friends who have gone thru' this and it was painful to see them go thru it..however all 3 have had normal pregnancies the next time..one on their way, so don't loose hope.
MY ma also had delivered twins who passed away one week after birth..so now that i am pregnant, i don't take even a day for granted..and pray everyday goes fine.
what puzzled me was generally when u have a baby after the 6th month they say its a premature baby...how can u have a miscarriage?
I always believed whatever God does,we may not understand and is for some unknown reason...but He knows best..have lost both my parents and it was something i had to live and accept.. I cannot though imagine the pain if I lost my little one now ...I do understand..after going thru the depressions of my friends' losses and my own..will just say live one day at a time..and its natural to grieve, but do try to make an effort to divert ur mind, because there is another angel waiting for u to be his/her mom..
Till then trust God ..I am sure He has something very special in store for u..
I am sure all of u will be there to share ur feelings and talk it out.
Take care.
Radhika

Hey radhika,
Congratulations on ur pregnancy!! Which month r u in? Do take good care of urself. It must be hard for u to loose ur parents..I understand ur feelings. But I think u r a brave girl.
No radhika, mine was not a miscarriage..it was a pregnancy termination because of some medical reasons. We opted for abortion after knowing in my 8th month, that our baby would be mentally retarded for his whole life. I was not willing to see him suffering his whole life. He wouldn't have natural reflexes, wouldn't talk, wouldn't walk, etc..so it was a toughest decision for me to make.

Anyway, I'm hoping for a healthy baby next time!!
Thanks for writing in..
Take care,
Karuna

Hi,

I am glad that there is some one out there with whom i can share my sorrow.I had a miscarriage yesterday.I was 8 1/2 weeks pregnant.The doctor said the babys heart had stopped beating and he had to do a D&C and take it out.This was my second miscarriage.I feel so depressed and cant help but blame myself,though the doctor said it si not my fault.I am scared that it might happen again and it is such a painful experience to go through.Especially when there is no one to help us through it.I understan what u are going through,espcially since u lost urs in the last trimester.I am not going to say dont worry.Cause we have to worry and feel the pain for us to get over it.

Best wishes,
sailaja

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]

After her second miscarriage, her doctor told her... - Olivia [View Message]

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.

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.

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]
