chrissy123 - you may have noticed this isn't the most active board on sn. My situation isn't really the same as yours, I have had 2 known mc but I'm sure it was different because I already had my dd. And my ds was born only three years later, so although it was very sad I had a pg to take my mind off it after not too long, which I believe helped a lot. It doesn't make it "all better" but it took the sting off it, and I was able to think about something else. I hope you stop by the Support for Losses board and/or Pails, I don't really go there but have lurked now and then and it seems like a really supportive bunch of moms (and dads?) over there.

I'm sorry this had to happen to you. It must be incredibly difficult to have to deal with losses over and over and over. Not too much I can say really. I just wanted to offer a little support. ((((HUGS)))))

I am so sorry for your losses. I have had a m/c and lost my daughter after 101 days due to a complex heart defect (she also had a 2 vessel cord). I know there are several people who have stories similar to yours at Support for Losses and PAILS for Hope. Please stop by there and I am sure several people can help and offer you support.

Have the dr's ran any tests to see why you may be m/c?

Again, please feel free to try SFL or PAILS. It really is a great bunch of women over there.

I know exactly what you are feeling. Lost one baby at 10 weeks, and 2 babies at 6 months pregnant before finally having my oldest son. I gave up for a few years after my last loss. Then one day I was ready and determined to not let it beat me... Thankfully I didn't have another loss. Hang in there hon.

I am sorry for your losses and can only imagine your pain, I myself suffered a miscarriage at 6 weeks and found that difficult. My reply mainly focuses on the depression side of things. I have suffered from Major (Unipolar) Depression for most of my life and have found that there is nothing better that good support from understanding family and friends and appropriate treatment from my physcian, psycologist and drug therapies. I can only wish the best of luck for the future and hope you get the help you need!

I've had two losses. I'm not going to give up and I don't think you should either. It's frustrating, I know. Right now I'm scared to try again, but I'm going to. I'm just going to wait a couple of months first. We are all here for support anytime you need it. I usually go to Support for Losses. They are all really great gals there. You should stop by and introduce yourself. You'll get losts of love!
