Silently Suffering After Pregnancy Loss | Cassandra Blomberg | TEDxSDMesaCollege

[@mommyj9862]

I've had 2 miscarriages. The hardest part about it, for me, is the invisibility of the pain. If you break your arm, when you go through your day, people can see that you are clearly injured. The checker at the store will be able to see you need a little help. Your co-workers will automatically jump in with difficult tasks. People will ask what happened and if you need help. No one expects you to act normal. To act like nothing happened. With miscarriage, you suffer immense pain and grief. And you are forced to go about your day as if nothing happened. No one can see any injury. No one sees at the grocery store that you are in so much pain, it takes everything to pay and get out of the store without crying. Friends and family ask normal everyday questions like “what are you wearing for brunch” when brunch is the last thing you want to do. Women go through the everyday tasks without so much as skipping a beat, all while hiding this invisible trauma that no one can see. It’s a superhuman task to expect of us.

Mommy J i can understand ur pain. The invisible pain that m going through after losing my first born after 8 days of his birth. Since he was born in 6th month, he was in incubator and i didnt get chance to embrace him when he was alive. M finding it very difficult to act normal. The vaccum is killing me.

It's almost been a year since I lost my baby boy. Lost him at 33 weeks. Named him Ever. Still breaks my heart, but he will always be my first baby boy. I've been very depressed more lately and I just found out I'm 10 weeks pregnant. Makes me so emotional. Every Dr appointment I go to makes me cry and I hate it. But I'm mostly scared for my baby. Needing prayers please 💕 and bless all you mommies!

Sending hugs. There are some amazing books on Amazon that are very helpful, for example Miscarriage Mom. I lost eight children at 5-6 weeks and until I gave them all name and place and some clothes and toys, like living children would get, I was a wreck. But once they had all this, it somehow started to feel better. It felt like they are with us, no longer lost. The total game changer was going to Family Constellations where I could "see them and talk to them". This was a bless day because it was the closest I ever got to them. The pain seems to be in the separation. I hope you will soon find your own way how to include your baby in your life so she/he is not lost and can be with you in his/her own way ♥

I’m sorry for your loss, I lost mine at 7 weeks also, it was hard. I instantly loved my baby so much even with all the doubts of being ready to be a mother and with being tight with money not knowing how me and my partner were gonna do it I still was so excited to bring life into this world and then having that feeling ripped away like it was nothing. Before I could even comprehend what had happened.

I don't understand why people don't take miscarriages seriously

[@nicolebentley984]

Look at abortion

[@kingal89]

The odds of miscarriage for most women is actually fairly low. There is a much higher chance of miscarriage once a woman has had one miscarriage. At the moment of conception you are technically 2 weeks pregnant. By the time you show positive you are 3-4 weeks pregnant. The odds of miscarriage at week 7 are below 5%. So there is that small window of 3-7 weeks (1 month) where you have a high chance of miscarriage but also this is the time when your average person who has never been pregnant or with someone who was will think "eh you weren't really pregnant". The speaker in this video had miscarriages where the odds were well under 1% on average, repeatedly. That definitely is tragic and I'm sure the response she got from her loved ones is different than the woman who had a miscarriage at 3 weeks before many would even figure out if they were pregnant. Her 25% statistic includes these extreme early miscarriages which much of society barely counts as pregnancies unfortunately.

"You can always have another", "Something must have been wrong"... these words are killing me. My parents refuse to let me grieve openly. My husband wanted to live like nothing had happened too. My son was actually born alive! But he lived only one day. And it was less than a month ago! I know, that something really was wrong because he had an anasarka. But it didn't make my grief any less.

[@cassandramarie9593]

[@leeleel.674]

It’s terrible that they expected you to just move on within a month of your loss! I’m trying to walk the line between talking and holding back my feelings because even my husband doesn’t fully understand what I’m going through. If people aren’t sure of what to say, then don’t say anything.

I just lost my baby girl almost 4 weeks ago. I was 22 weeks and 5 days when I went into preterm labor. Honestly I feel like I don’t know what to do. I try to keep busy. I try to talk to people. But I keep hearing the same “you’re so young, you have plenty of time to have lots more children”. Or “it just wasn’t the right time”. But for me, being pregnant was perfect. Every aspect of it. A child is a blessing. No matter what stage of life you are at. Her name was Avianna Rose. She had lots of hair and looked just like her father. And every single day I think about her. And it hasn’t gotten any easier yet. I’m not sure if it ever will.

He reached out to me and held my hand. he was trying to take a breath but couldn't breath. watching my son die in front of my very eyes with 4 doctors just sitting there staring at me saying "theres nothing they can do" was awful. I felt absolutely powerless. I was SCREAMING for somebody to do something. Was in the hospital for a full 7 days prior with severe bleeding. had to have 8 blood transfusions and nearly died. Fiance had left me for someone else the month prior, so I had to go through this alone. Its only been a month. Picked up his ashes today at the funeral house and nearly lost it. Im scared ill never be happy again. And the man I love doest want me anymore, so I have to grieve the loss of the both of them at the same time. Im scared I'm never gonna be happy again :/ terrified ill never see my son in the next life. Im not religious, so the thought of never interacting with his soul again is unbelivevly heartbreaking.

I know this is an old comment, but I felt every bit of it. My husband and I have been together for 6 years, and throughout those years, 6 miscarriages. No living children. We pursued fertility testing years ago, abandoned that course, and are now giving it one last shot. "Unexplained recurrent loss" is my status. It sucks. It's incredibly painful. And on top of that, hubby's best friend just helped to deliver his second little one last week, which has uncontrollably opened old wounds regardless of how happy we are for them. I hope that you are ok. I hope that you have found some kind of peace or perhaps a purpose that fills the void that the loss has left in your heart. Be well.

'It wasn't meant to be' and 'your body wasn't ready' is something that was said to me when I had a miscarriage at 12 weeks in December 2021. Little did they know that was my 5th miscarriage. I had 4 miscarriages over the space of 4 years. I had a successful pregnancy and gave birth to mt gorgeous little boy in February 2021. I found out I was pregnant again in the September and I was absolutely over the moon. I was frightened to transition from one baby to 2 and have 2 babies under the age of 2 but I was so ready. I had already planned out our lives for the next 5 years. I was so ready to give my son a little baby brother or sister. When the process of the miscarriage started my heart just broke into a million pieces. This miscarriage hurt so much more than the previous 4 because I had finally got to experience the end result when having my son. I finally knew all the love I was losing. All the memories i would never get. And people thought it was appropriate to say things like 'you can just focus on logan now' (logan is my 1 year old son) and things like 'it would of been really hard for you to have 2 babies so close in age, this was for the best' Its only been 4 months today since my miscarriage. I would of been 7 months pregnant right now and that absolutely kills me every single day. I pray every month that I miss a period or that I wake up and it was just a bad dream. That loss has sent me into such a horrible depression. Its changed me completely. Im not happy anymore I struggle to make it through the day sometimes without crying. People say 'logan should be enough to forget about it' or 'you can't be depressed youve got logan to think of' but what they cant seem to understand is that... everytime I look at my son all I see is what his little brother or sister should of looked like. All I think about is how we should of already known the gender and have decorated a nursery for him/her by now. I should have a big pregnant belly by now but I dont. And I'm not okay about it. I can't just move on from what I've lost. I love my son to pieces and hes the only reason I get out of bed in the morning hes the only reason I survive each day. People who haven't experienced a pregnancy loss should never try and give advice if its just going to be a back handed piece of advice.

[@reyno6826]

The worst response I got was " At least you lost it at 6 weeks and not further along" I was told that more than once. To me it wasn't better because I lost it at 6 weeks. I was expected to just keep moving on with my life and pretend nothing is wrong. So here I am a month later pretending I don't care so everyone else is comfortable.

I lost my child at 7 weeks… I had already figured out what my announcement would look like as I imagined revealing our little presence to the rest of the world. And then the rug was suddenly whipped from beneath my feet. A future I had begun to visualize was suddenly erased before I could even wrap my head around what was happening. And a family of four slipped through my fingers. We've been trying for 2 years already. We've started for another baby when our daughter was 5. There were tests, drugs, shots, unsuccessful insemination…There were two failed IVF cycles, and along the way, one miscarriage. The social media algorithms became absolute torture. Only a few mnths prior, I was clicking through a zillion ads and articles daydreaming about the tiny person growing in my belly... Now they're nothing but a constant and incredibly painful reminder of what could have been... And this is so unbearably hard. Your body heals slowly. Your head even slower... And your heart may never heal completely.

I’m so sorry that i ever dismissed anyones loss. Any loss is a loss, and you deserve to grieve however and whenever.

[@cassandramarie9593]

I’m so sorry for your loss! Yes, it often doesn’t matter how far along you are - it is still devastating. Congrats on your new pregnancy! Hugs mama.

[@takl6568]

I hope you are well. I pray you had a successful, healthy pregnancy. I had an early miscarriage, too. It is a deep, quiet, gut wrenching pain I carry. Prayers for you sweetie!

[@silverdeer2515]

Thank you for sharing this. I've had 3 miscarriages now the first about 9 week and the last 2 6 weeks. It's been less physically traumatic but my heart is in pieces. But I didn't give myself enough time because I didn't feel like it should be as hard as the first time

[@nae8546]

Feeling very isolated and unsupported ; throwing yourself back into work - that EXACTLY what I did ! The feeling of coming into the hospital pregnant & leaving without your child is just an experience I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. My son, the first boy to be born into my family since my grandmother was giving birth, pasted away full term , fully developed. 2 years later - I am still lost and confused because I don’t think I allowed myself to mourn and grieve correctly. I miss my son so much I pray God gives him back to me but I’m terrified of pregnancy now. 😢😢😢

[@chrissylove1104]

Thank you for sharing your story 💙 I'm sorry for your losses..I lost my baby at 10 weeks to a missed miscarriage .I had to get a D and C. My body thought I was 14 weeks. the pain doesn't stop and all the grief is real..I know sharing my story with others has helped me tremendously and probably vice versa. I am grateful for the short amount of time I had with my baby.

[@lunacavemoth]

had one loss too many, this time via surgery. lost a right fallopian tube. it's been about 3 months since this recent loss. been in denial of the surgery , and yet the loss of the three other babies, including this recent one (3 total) have been weighing on me every day. didn't realize i've been mourning until recently. and depressed. i feel very alone in this and yes, it is easier not to talk to anyone because of the depth of the pain. i've just been isolating myself. can't talk about it. it isn't acknowledge.d they "weren't real". but they were real to me. i wanted each one. thank you for letting me finally cry .. been cryhing for the majority of this video. much needed.

[@nyght-n-gale4639]

I just recently suffered a miscarriage at 10w3d. All of the feelings you've described, the questions that were asked, have gone through my mind. The silver lining comments have been a knife and every time I hear someone say one, I just want to hit them in the mouth and be like "you've got other teeth, one missing isn't such a big deal". I'm angry, I'm hurt but above all, I mourn for the times I can't have with a baby I've been trying for, for over a year. Thank you for sharing this, I needed to hear everything that was said in this video.

[@lifeaskowanna]

Thank you so much for sharing. So glad I found this video. I just had a miscarriage on May 22. My princess Kailey was only 19 weeks. She was my fiancé and I first child and it hurts so much. I feel like I don’t have anyone to talk to because everyone around me has never been through this. I never would have thought I would have had to bury my own child. We visit her grave every week and I never want to leave. We tried for 5 years and when we found out we were pregnant we were was so excited. It’s a wonderful feeling❤️. Come to find out I have a incompetent cervix and its crazy because I just had a doctors appointment the week before and everything was fine. I feel your pain and I’ll be praying for everyone who has been through this❤️

[@cassandramarie9593]

Kowanna McCain oh I am so sorry for your loss! After trying for so long, that is devastating! When you get pregnant again, make sure to get the stitch or whatever is necessary to keep that from happening again! Hugs mama, you are lot alone and you will be ok eventually.

[@cameronward4644]

Just know God will never give you more than you can bare. I have hope and faith that you will go on to have a beautiful healthy baby. I also lost my first pregnancy. No amount of words can heal that pain. Just know you’re loved, your pain is valid and God sees you and loves you so much.

[@jmendoza1203]

Exact same situation I'm in right now. It's so hard.

[@MichiganFresh]

My husband and I had a few miscarriages over 12 years of ttc. I've never actively and mindfully stayed silent about them, but I think because my pregnancies were still so early and so private I didn't want to share my miscarriages right away. I felt like all the hope was mine and my husband's and I didn't want anyone making the wrong comment out of kindness only to make our pain worse. In the moments after my miscarriages I wanted it to be our loss, but the truth is it wasn't just our loss. And realizing this helped me grieve so much better. It was my mother-in-law's grandbaby she lost, my sister's niece or nephew, my niece's cousin. We all had a loss, and not staying silent let me know how much this baby meant to everyone around me and they wanted to share the hope, the joys of future baby, as well as the pain and anguish of losing that possibility. I even saw a change in my dog after my last miscarriage. She quit laying by my belly at night, something she began very early on in the pregnancy. She became very gentle with me, but was barking more at other animals and was very antsy. Then one night, I laid in bed and just began balling my eyes out, while by dog put her head under my chin and just stayed there until I had no more tears. She gave me a sweet little kiss on the cheek and we fell asleep. She stopped barking began playing like she did before. She was feeling my pain with me, and needed me to grieve; to get my energy back to our normal.

[@CharRee1824]

My husband and I are going towards our 12th year of trying - 3 little angels at 4.5months (Baby Europe), 6 weeks (Baby Asia) and 7 weeks (Baby Manestel) I've put on a brave front, no-one ever talks about it and I pray I get another chance to fall pregnant again. I cry when I need to but believe that I will get to meet my babies soon. The loss and pain doesn't go away I just mask it so I can live and hope for a new Day. Praying for you to one day experience motherhood and all the Mummys to be that are in the same boat. Lord hear our hearts 🙏🥺

[@akanshajoshi3816]

Each and every word makes sense. Lost her at 34 weeks..The pain is so real.. nicely addressed!

Thank you for validating my experience. I lost my baby at 5 weeks and struggled between telling people and keeping it to myself. I also heard all of the 'do not say these things' list but for those I opened up to and supported me, it meant so much. I feel like I do not need to keep it a secret or push it out my mind after watching this.

[@JuliaLaMoldava]

God…I needed this video so much…I’m struggling just like any other mother that had lost her baby. I’ve had 3 miscarriages. Two in the first trimester and one at 13 weeks, which had happened on December 19,2021. I delivered the baby. I caught it in my hand…I can still remember and see his/her body in my palm…he/she was as big as my palm, a tiny baby, with a beautiful nose which reminded me of mine …and I had to stay silent…because just like she said…I didn’t announce my pregnancy and consequently I had to stay silent… I needed to see this video so much…she gave me hope… Thank you!

We have been trying to have a baby for the past 6 years and after we found out we were pregnant we were super excited that we have started preparing to welcome our baby boy, Sid. Unfortunately I had a miscarriage at 23 weeks. From last Thursday to now our world keeps tumbling down…

[@TheDJH72]

my wife and I just lost our first baby last night at about 6 weeks. It is utterly hopeless, as a husband knowing that there is nothing you can do when your wife is suffering! you're supposed to be The Protector, The Provider but how do you protect against something you can't see!? The grief is just as bad! We had little cutesy names for our baby, "lil sweetpea" "lil blueberry" "baby lentil". The stress and worry while you're a work wondering how she is doing is unbearable! I can't imagine how she was feeling. Then, you get that call, "honey I'm not feeling well, I'm going to go see the doctor". I had to leave work in the middle of the day, to drive and meet my wife at the hospital, the longest 40mins of my life wanting to bulldoze every car on the highway because they were keeping me from my wife and our baby! the stress of sitting in the waiting room while she's having cramps praying that everything turns out okay. wanting to punch through a wall getting the call that you're baby is gone! I'm thankful I was able to be there with her but the pain is excruciating! All i can muster up to say is I'm sorry for all your losses and it is okay to feel how you feel! 😔

[@healwithsunshine]

In October 2021 my husband and I suffered a miscarriage. We hadn't told everyone yet, I was waiting for the ultrasound first. It was at the ultrasound that we found out that our little one had passed away. There was no way I could grieve the loss of my baby without letting the world know that my baby exists. It was hard, but I made a post that detailed everything and let everyone know that we lost our little one. Fast forward to tonight and I am 6 weeks pregnant and telling everyone. I figure that I want everyone to know of my baby either way and society will just have to deal with it. But all of that love and joy of being pregnant again is overshadowed by terror that I might have to announce a second miscarriage. My back yard cannot handle that many more trees.

[@rostory7794]

[@kalieagosta232]

I had lost my baby at 10 weeks. I kept bleeding for about 2 weeks I would go to the hospital. Eventually the dr told me to go home it wasn't an emergency and to come back when i lost my baby. One night i was bleeding so bad i was loopy my mom had told me to go to the er and i told her i didnt want too because of what the dr said. My mom took me to another hospital. They almost gave me a blood transfusion because i was bleeding to death. The bleeding finally stopped and they did a sonogram and found i lost my baby. I was devastated i hated that dr. Eventually i got pregnant with my son he was born 2 months early i kept telling the dr that i was loosing water and they said i wasn't they finally gave me an ultra sound and they realized i lost two pockets of water and my son was dieing they induced me after i had him he stayed for a month in the NICU the nurses were neglecting him he had a massive bum rash that was blustered and a nurse put regular tape on him then ripped it off and his skin with it every night i cried for my baby i felt so helpless. I finally got to bring him home they ruined him from breastfeeding he had separation anxiety for the longest time. Now he's almost two and I've been trying again but I've had about 5 miscarriages and my recent one was about 2 months. All i really want is one more chance to have a positive pregnancy and delivery. I want to experience what i didn't the first time. But i dont know if I can do this anymore.

I would add to the list of things not to say to a woman after pregnancy loss: “Well maybe you can give her siblings” This being my first pregnancy, it was insulting to hear people wanting me to move on so quickly. It just felt dismissive. “Buck up, there are worse things going on in the world” Believe me, I’m well aware that awful things happen to people everyday, but that doesn’t mean that I can’t be in pain either. “It’s probably best that she died peacefully inside you instead of dying after birth” Again, I don’t discount the intense trauma of mothers losing their children, no matter the age. But this was a whole person inside me who shared my life force. I felt her energy and could sense her personality. “If you had known earlier about her condition it might have been better and less painful” I highly doubt that. If you cared about your baby for even a moment, this is a true loss, no matter the gestational age. While it can be hard to know what to say, sometimes it’s best to not say anything and just be a listening ear. But don’t force any mother to talk either. We all grieve in our own way. One thing you can always do when thinking about her is letting her know she’s in your thoughts ♥️

@Queenie C Don't do anything that seem right now and then later on in life you will regret it. Don't play with fire anybody that can manifest any baby is not a path you want to venture down. Just trust God and you will have your baby. As a matter a fact I am declaring that if you trust God that you will carry your bouncing baby twin or even quadruplet. God bless you.

Lost my son on 12/20/21 at 19weeks! The worst experience of my life. Such a traumatic process and lonely even if you have people around you for support. I have family, friends and my boyfriend. However, no one will understand it quiet like yourself.

[@shaeunique6183]

This was such a lovely video, I can relate 100%. I lost my son 4 months ago at 32 weeks after a "healthy pregnancy". There was no explanation about what happened, I was only told that "they don't know why and they're sorry for my loss". I thought I would go crazy, I felt that my life was over. But I'm still here and feeling a little better, thanks to the support from my family and friends. I think its important that we continue to support each other through this unpredictable journey.. To the women suffering, we are lovely, we are beautiful and we can get through this ❤❤❤❤

Just found out yesterday that i lost my first baby at 7 weeks due to blighted ovam. Thank you for this I needed to hear that im not alone

[@traceylee3354]

Sorry to hear this - I know I’m not alone WE ARE NOT ALONE - How are you feeling now? I just found out at 10weeks I miscarried 😭

[@jordannishere-9772]

Me and my girlfriend also just lout ours at 7 weeks. I’m 21 and she’s only 19. Yes we are young but we were so happy with thought of us becoming a family. We even moved into a 2 bedroom apartment but we ended up losing our first baby

[@harpreetdhaliwal7316]

I get to know today that I lost my 6 weeks baby first pregnancy 😣

[@syedalfiya8667]

After trying for 2 years i got pregnant after 9 week pregnancy and lost it ...😔 my first child

[@JazmyneYvette]

I just found out this morning.. 8 weeks + 1 day. I woke up with blood and instantly knew in my heart what had happened. It was confirmed at the ER. I feel like everyone keeps telling me “at least it was early” I don’t care how early it was this pain is horrible and I can’t stop crying

[@jyy5692]

I am 13 weeks now, and we found serious issue with the baby. Dr recommend the only option is termination since there is almost no chance the baby will survive. It is painful and devastating. I thank god for the short time period with my baby. My baby will return to heaven soon.

[@linnybinny]

Just found out I had a missed miscarriage. I did not expect myself to feel the way I do. I feel so broken and alone. I keep replaying when they told me that they couldn’t find a heartbeat. I know miscarriages are common but I just never expected it would happen to me.

[@melanielennon1204]

I know this feeling so well and am so sorry. You are not alone.

[@joeyjoeshabadoo7902]

Thank you for sharing your difficult journey, and for encouraging others to do so as well

[@theblombombs7111]

Joe Schmidl thanks joe!

[@DillonTalks]

I lost my son at 23 weeks. Work is drowning me but I’ve been telling anyone who asks how he died. His life matters and I want people to know he existed It’s the hardest thing I’ve gone through. His sister keeps asking when he’ll come home. She’s too little to understand he never will. So she asks where heaven is and when she can go there and I spiral because losing here would honestly end me. It’s so hard.

[@tinyestates]

We have been trying to expand our family for the past year or so. During this time I have had 3 pregnancies/losses. The first, which I miscarried at 11 weeks. I thought this was devastation. I knew miscarriage was fairly common, but it did not make it easier. Then 4 months after this, I was pregnant again. We discovered it was ectopic and were forced to terminate the pregnancy to preserve my health. Ectopic pregnancies having a 2% occurrence rate. Then just when I thought we had enough back-to-back weird bad luck, during my third and very recent pregnancy we discovered at 16.5 weeks baby had rare deformities effecting less than 0.001% of babies. She was incompatible with life and were forced to terminate yet again, much further along. For me, THIS, was the absolute devastation. Words cannot describe these feelings of loss, lack of control, odds being against us, and how horrible rare occurrences happening multiple times in varying/unrelated ways has completely destroyed my state of peace and hope - not just for future pregnancies, but in life. It's very hard right now, and very fresh.

[@artetanya]

Thank you Cassandra for this message. Thank God I can understand English and watch this video, because in my country there is still a strong stigma around perinatal losses. We do have a developing foundation Light In Hands, but this is not enough now. Most women grieve silently and become heavily depressed and then even more stigmatized, because depression is also not much talked about in the society. I lost my baby on week 10 just a couple of days ago. Still feel pain which will never go away. But your video helped to untighten the pain in my chest somehow - I see and feel that I am not alone.

[@cassandramarie9593]

You are not alone! I am so glad you found my talk. Maybe you can get involved in that organization, Light in Hands. Maybe using your awful circumstance to make change can help you heal- help you make something positive out of a tragic situations. Im so so sorry for your loss. Hugs to you- reach out any time!

[@artetanya]

@@cassandramarie9593 Thank you for your kind words! Just wanted to let you know, I volunteered as a translator in this organization actually a couple of days ago - I will help them translate foreign articles and researches related to the topic. I hope it will help spread the info about perinatal losses in our society and help someone else eventually.

[@charli2519]

This video helped me so much- I feel seen... I went through a miscarriage with my first and only at 10 weeks, not too long ago. We are TTC again and the emotional rollercoaster is overwhelming at times. I feel isolated in my own emotions and all the words that people meant to be helpful, hurt more...

[@destineecolvin4433]

Thank you so much. I lost my baby July 19th. & this has given me the emotional support I needed

[@leeleel.674]

I’m so sorry for your loss but glad this has helped you ❤️ 🙏🏻

[@brokengil101]

Had a miscarriage at 10wks and the hardest part was the comments . My dad told me “gods plan is perfect”. Others told me “it wasn’t your time”. It hurt more than the doctor telling me it wasnt viable.

[@thehotspotwithangie]

It's been 20 years for me but feels like it was yesterday I miss my baby boy Gabriel 😔

[@MC_10890]

I’m going through my first miscarriage and I feel like I can’t express what I’m feeling because this baby was wanted and we were all happy. I feel like I failed them and it’s my fault. We had a name, my kids would kiss my tummy and unfortunately I’m losing their happiness and joy. My husband was excited too and I’m trying to be strong, but it’s hard.

[@littlewing2023]

I am sorry for your loss, I'm going through a miscarriage also, I feel your pain . My husband and I were excited to have another baby and give our daughter a sibling for her to love. Our dreams for this baby have been dashed and it hurts. Once again I'm sorry for your loss.

[@alexismoss812]

Thank you for sharing this. We just lost our Angel Baby in August 2019. I’m glad to know I’m not the only one going through this. Thank you ❤️

[@racheltoone2522]

I lost our 5th baby last month. I was 7 weeks and it’s been torture! I was so excited and in love. The people who didn’t know I was pregnant have said “aren’t you glad your not pregnant again this summer” and they have no idea that I am morning. I’ve had people who say “but you’ve got 4 other kids”, but that doesn’t matter because this was my baby too! When you said “walking into a hospital pregnant and walking out childless” just got to me

[@Anaya25divya01raushan]

Same happened to me lost 5th baby on 19th June at 7wk

[@demarpalmer2264]

I am sorry for your loss. I know the pain of losing a child as well. I recommend this book ,"Lessons from a Place of Pain" on Amazon. It's a great read and I know it can give you a extra dose of strength.

[@Diyer2023]

I suffered from a miscarriage about 2 months ago. I thought everything was good. I was 10 weeks along no cramping nothing. We went to the OB and our first US didn’t show a heart beat, and she had a tough time finding it. My ob said come back in a week you could be earlier than you thought. Went back a week later and the US showed still no heartbeat, and the baby was measuring at 6 weeks, and I knew I was 10 weeks because we were tracking prior to conceiving. Literally a week later i experienced light spotting after going #2… I prayed it was normal because I had no cramping.. then the next day more bleeding, 2 days later severe bleeding/cramping. So my husband called 911 and got Me to the er quickly. They needed to do a D&C to help me pass the tissue because my body was having a hard time. My mom said I was technically in labor. Kinda blew my mind. I can’t even look at another pregnant women without wanting to bawl my eyes out. I feel like I failed my husband, my family, myself even though it was out of anyone’s control. There is not enough out there to help women grieve after experiencing a pregnancy loss. I’ve reached out to every .org, foundation, pregnancy loss support groups and no luck. I know for a fact I’ll have PTSD for my next pregnancy. I already suffer from BI polar depression. I need prayers and advice I have heard it all. “Atleast you know you can get pregnant now, maybe you weren’t healthy enough, it’s common.”

[@babybat3180]

Thank you for posting this. I just had a miscarriage at 5 weeks and it hurts

[@YtearieMilliona]

I lost 2 babies at 4wks each in the year 2022😢 I struggle because I didn’t want them but I never thought about the choice being taken away from me in that manner 💯 thank you and I’m sorry for your loss and every mother in here 💯 even the women I don’t like.

[@laurenturner3172]

I just experienced this. I haven't processed yet and I'm trying. It's tough because it feels, to me, that 4 weeks along isn't long enough for me to grieve, but I know that it's still a loss.
