Welcome to this forum
Although the title of this forum is Miscarriage and Grief, all kinds of pregnancy related loss expression are welcome here, including but not limited to: stillbirth, abnormality pregnancy/birth, D&C, and death of a child.
For general grief support outside of pregnancy related loss, please visit the off-topic forum.
Group Activity
I have seen a lot of post that ladies put saying their friend had a miscarriage and they don't know what to say. I thought those of us who have had a miscarriage/ stillborn could tell them what helped us. Also what not to say.
I will go first. Say your sorry or your there for them
don't say
its probably better it happened what if something had been wrong with the baby.
at least you were not further along.

Firstly, welcome. Secondly, we are so sorry you had to join us.
This post is a starting point for grief resources as you move through your journey. You will find resources to connect with other Mums and to express your grief. There is so much more out there in the wonderful online world of babyloss Mums. So if you find a great site please post it below and I will add it to the post.
Within these boards you will find the most amazing, brave, strong and kind women. All have arrived via a different road, but we are each now sharing the same journey: grieving the death of our children. There is no right or wrong way. It's about survival, and later, learning to live life without them.
The sun will shine again.

Don't ask me if I'm ok or how I'm doing. That is the most infuriating question! How am I? s*** ty. That's how I am. Am I ok? No. I'm not. You can just assume that I'm not ok and that I'm doing s*** ty until I tell you otherwise. And even then, I may be lying.

I'm scared there's something wrong with my baby girl, and I can't live through another miscarriage. Can anybody tell me what my symptoms could mean?
-fever of 103.2
-hot flashes/chills
-sweating
-extreme soreness/stiffness in back, shoulders, neck, ribs, hips and legs; I can barely move from the pain.
-pain/burning during urination.
-extreme fatigue; I've been in bed all day and am still exhausted.
-nausea
-headache
-dizziness/throbbing of the head upon sitting or standing up.
I've had symptoms similar to this before-I was pregnant without realizing but every doctor I saw just said I had the flu. After two weeks of this I started bleeding very heavily. They ended up saying I had an infection from miscarriage. I'm so scared that it will happen again. I'm so close to having my baby in my arms this time, I seriously cannot handle losing her. She's barely been active today. I'm so scared. My doctor said to wait and see if I feel any better over the next three days before going to the medical center, but I don't know if I can wait that long.

My bby passed away this is my very first misscarriage I don't know what to expect n bby is still in me I'm suppossed to b 9 weeks n bby measured 6werks n no heart today. This was bby 5 for us. I'm so sad

Hi all, it's been just over 9 weeks since we found out the baby was no longer viable, and 8 weeks since the d&c.
I have horrible acne that will not get any better- and barely had acne before getting pregnant/the mc.
Ive looked on the forums and dont see this topic, and am wondering has this happened to anyone else, and does anyone have ideas to help clear it?
I've been using general acne face wash twice daily... No luck. As a professional adult, this is becoming a problem... Hard enough to be taken seriously in a male dominated company.. Now this.
Not to mention it is yet another reminder of the loss.

I went to the E.R due to heavy bleeding & cramps . They did an ultrasound and they didn't detect a heart beat , I was supposed to be 8 weeks and the baby only measured to about 6 . I'm devastated , I was so excited about this baby and i was happier than I've ever been . I still have faith that god will give me a healthy baby when he thinks its time , I do think he made this happen for a reason . I have to schedule to get a D&C done tomorrow , this is the most heartbreaking thing I've ever had to go through . I'm praying to god that he will give me the strength to get through this . Has anyone had a miscarriage & then went on to have other successful pregnancies ?
