Kristen, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. It is a horrible and awful experience that no one should have to go through. I found blogging a great way to heal. Like therapy. I hope it helps you too.

I had a miscarriage in July. It has been one of the worst experiences of my life. I have had a million questions running through my head, and I’ve cried a million tears. I have gone over every scenario I could to come up with an answer of why this happened to me?

I’m finally starting to heal. I started a blog. The blog was supposed to be about my pregnancy, but now it is coping with my miscarriage.

I hope that it will help women and understand that they are not alone.

Thank you for telling your story

Christine, Isn’t it amazing how that can work out? My doctor told me that with each pregnancy you have the same odds of a miscarriage..20%. It’s a crazy fact. I personally found it nice to know others went through it and went on to healthy pregnancies. It gives me hope.

I’m very sorry for your loss.

I had two miscarriages in between my two children; I was stunned at how many people “admitted” to me that they had had miscarriages, too, when I told them of mine. It saddened me to hear of the shame that some felt IN ADDITION to the loss.

Thanks for sharing.

I just wanted to say I am so sorry for your loss.
I am pleased you have found support from families and friends. Sadly some people don’t get this with early losses or even later on.
I wish you the very best on your journey to momhood…
thanks for sharing your story so that others might benefit too.
