This was an amazing post. Very well written, and I agree with everything you said! I’m sorry that you had to go through your miscarriage in order to write this, but I am thankful that you decided to share your story and the lessons learned. I had a miscarriage (at 12 weeks along) and a D&C in August. I’m planning to share it on my blog at some point along with some reflections on pregnancy in general, but I just haven’t been able to get it right just yet. You said lots of the stuff I’ve been thinking about.

I’m very sorry you had to go through this. I went through the same thing in July. I do believe that everything happens for a reason also even though we may not ever find out what it is. Hugs!!

Thank you so much Diana! I am so sorry you had to go through that in July. It is a horrible thing that no one should have to endure. I hope you are doing well now though. If you ever want to chat about it let me know. For me it helped to talk about it.

I don’t know if I believe that everything happens for a reason. People tell me that all the time, but isn’t it just an excuse?

I thought of every little thing to why I had this miscarriage, and came up with nothing.

I am very scared to try again, because I don’t want to have to go through this mental and physical pain again.

I know it could be worse though, there are people who have gone through worse.

Thank you for sharing your story! I still have yet to be able to bring myself to blog about it. I believe AF is here & it’s bringing up all those old feelings & emotions. So true about the waiting part…I’m so sorry for your loss! Praying it will be our month soon!

Thank you for sharing! I know it must be hard to be going thru this, I can’t even imagine. We’re waiting on kids until husband is thru law school but I know at some point I’ll be playing the “waiting” game. Thanks for giving some insight and maybe some patience!

Jen,
“waiting” has def. been the hardest part for me this go around. This 2 WW is killing me. I don’t remmber the original 2 WW being this hard. I am glad you have found support with us, as I have found support in you. Our day will come & I am a FIRM believer in “everything happens for a reason”, I just can’t “wait” until good things begin to happen to us. xoxo ~Heatherandrichie

Jessica-Hang in there..women have been having babies forever! I always try to tell myself that “most of the time” it all goes smoothly.

Julia-Thank you so much for sharing. I think we all can relate to wanting to go back to tell our past selves to be patient that it will all be ok…You waited a long time for your children and I am sure now that you have them you wouldn’t have it any other way…I kept telling myself that this last one just wasn’t our baby.
