Miscarriage/Loss General Discussion #1

[Diamond Girl]

Tascha, Alison, Marushke, Chepie and Saffy - Welcome. Im so very sorry for all your losses and that you have had to join this thread. I wish none of us were here.

Dantri - I felt different after my DS, so I guess pg does change our bodies, no matter how long or short they were pg for.

Freya - I hope your all feeling better now. I hope AF stays away when your DH returns.

Telly - I hope the next few months pass quickly so you can start ttc again.

Pac - Hi, I hope you are well.

Hi everyone

dantri - I've not noticed feeling different after a m/c. I've had both d&c and natural, but everything has gone back to normal. But in saying that, I don't use tampons, so I can't really comment about that. We also took a break after each time, don't know if that makes a difference or not.

Alison - I'm sorry you have to be part of this thread Hope you get a BFP soon.

Saffy - Sorry for you loss too hun. I know what you mean though, about wanting to just be UTD as soon as possible. But then I get spooked and shy away from it again.

Tascha - I'm so sorry I wish things were different for all of us. Hope you're okay.

Marushke - Welcome back to BB, but I'm sorry you're joining us here. I've always loved your avvy so it stood out for me when I saw you pop back in. Hope you're going okay.

Diamond Girl - I'm okay, how's everything with you?

Telly - Counting the days down? Thinking of you.

Hi to anyone I missed

AFM - Still just waiting for time to pass. Seems to take forever. I've been reading the thread about how many losses and can't quite believe how many little people should have been born and how many hearts have been broken. It's shocking. Whilst I love this site for the support it gives, I hate it for making me so aware of how common loss is and how many people are suffering. This should be easy and special, not something to be dreaded. Makes me very aware of how lucky I am to have a child. I'm feeling pretty good otherwise, trying to eat well, lots of salads and getting some fruit into me.

Morning.. if I may, I would like to ask a few questions?

At my 11 week check up, I found out my baby passed at 6.5 weeks. I started to miscarry naturally yesterday and have been in agony since. Bleeding so much and doubled over with pain. It was no where near as bad with my last miscarriage. Is this normal? I'm struggeling to function .. let alone look after my boys today. Just want this nightmare to end!

Sorry you are going through this hun, just keep an eye on your blood loss if it seems excessive maybe go to the hospital .

Regards,
Dianne

Take some pain killers hun, if you are still in pain and the bleeding is not slowing down you need to go to an emergency department, if you are soaking a pad in less than 1/2 an hour thats too heavy and needs attention. Sorry you are going through this, can someone come over and watch your boys? xx

[Tascha]

Managed by a shear miracle to get to my family today. I've managed to get my hands on some serious pain killers. So that's better now. The bleeding is excessive. I'm managing to get the majority in the toilet.. but its non stop. I've I didn't .. my maternity pads would not last long at all. I'm in good hands at the moment .. and they are happy for me to see if it calms down this arvo. Fingers crossed no emergency department for this one.. I've had enough drama this week.

Thank you ladies!

Hi Tascha, so sorry you're going through this, how are things this evening? I can totally sympathise with you, I just had an early miscarriage (my 2nd in 4 months) and I can tell you I was only 4 weeks and I have only just stopped bleeding today, I started last Monday and for the first 2 days I was going through about 4/5 pads in about an 8 hour time frame, I did lose quite a big clot the 2nd day and it started to slow down a little after that but it was pretty heavy for 4 days, I said to DH that I didn't understand after only 4 weeks where it all came from so I can only imagine how much there'd be further along. I was also downing about 4 Nurofen Plus to even touch the sides at the pain, I couldn't sleep for the first night it was so bad but again after 2 days that went back to a dull normal AF type pain and then by day 3/4 the pain was totally gone. I hope you're ok, for some reason it's like as soon as the bleeding stops the sad emotional feeling lessens a little, maybe having the bleeding is just too much of a reminder for us. xx
