What an incredible article. I had a miscarriage at 7 weeks last month. It is very encouraging to know that I did nothing wrong as many people have come forth with so-called “causes” of my miscarriage. I am still trying to move on from this heartbreaking experience. Thanks for this article, I now understand that there was nothing that could be done for my unborn child.

Thanks a lot for all the encouraging info and the comments from the other mom to be. I am now encouraged, I had a D&C last night but I’m strong and believe that I will too have my baby. All the best to Desiree

Desiree > Glad the article help you some. It does take some time to deal with a miscarriage and you need to allow yourself time to heal. Are your gynae aware of your history so that he/she can keep a close eye on you? From your side you need to try and stay calm and peaceful as it’s not good for you or the baby to stress about something that might not even happen!
Please keep us posted!

this article has helped me a little. In Aug 2008 i found out i was pregnant but unfortunatley i miscarriaged, it hurt like hell and it took me a year to be ok! then Nov 2009 i found out i was pregnant i was happy but scared! When i was 6 weeks i went to the gynea for my check up and there was no heart beat! it killed me again, worse than the first time. i had d&c’s both times. But now i am pregnant AGAIN!I found out on 13 Jan 2010. I am now about 6 weeks and i am going to the gynea on thursday but i am so scared! i cry myself to sleep. i am tyring to think happy thoughts but with my history its a little hard!

What is a D&C - Dilation and Curettage? | Pregnancy Week by Week — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 07:59:29 +0000

[...] There are a few advantages of having a D&C that are worth pointing out. First of all, on the emotional side, it helps you get over a miscarriage faster. Most miscarriages occur in your first pregnancy trimester, but your body might only expel the foetus three months later, and waiting for this to happen can be traumatic. A D&C completes and ends the miscarriage without dragging out a painful incident any longer than necessary. On the physical side, because a D&C completes a miscarriage faster, it shortens the amount of time you experience bleeding, cramping and other symptoms of a miscarriage. [...]

This article is really uplifting. I had a miscarriage a few months ago; it was my first pregnancy. The loss hit everyone hard, especially my husband, who wanted so badly to be a dad. Yesterday I did a pregnancy test & it showed positive. Although it’s really amazing news, we are all so cautious this time, and I will only be relieved when I see the gynae. Just some advice for other ladies who have been through a miscarriage, don’t despair & be strong. THIS TOO SHALL PASS!
