Hi. I am so sorry!!! I lost my "Glory Baby" 4 weeks ago. I have to be on IV's when I'm pregnant and had to stay on it for a week longer. Then had to keep taking anti-nausea meds still for another week. I still feel tired and weak. My Doctor said it can take a while for the hormones to go down. I am so sorry...It is hard to match my body up with my mind. It's like they war against each other. Then there is my heart which is completely broken and confussed as to why this happend. The only way I know to deal with it is to talk about it. I don't even feel like people want to talk about it any longer. I think, it's only been 4 weeks!!! It's not like I had the flu and now I'm better. I lost my baby! On another note, my doctor said you don't have to have a full term pregnancy to suffer from Post Pardum depression, I know I am. Don't be hard on yourself. I feel like if we grieve now, it won't come back to haunt us in the future as bad! Prayers...

Hi Jen,

Firstly I am so sorry for your loss. Big hugs.

I had a D&C 6 weeks ago now, it went as well as could be expected and I found in the following few weeks that I had a lot of headaches and I was also really tired. I think with all the emotional turmoil your are in after a m/c that this is probably pretty normal.

Things have pretty much settled down for me now, but if you have any concerns I'd definitely go back to see your doctor.

I've talked to a few support people and also have a couple of good friends who have been there for me through all of this, and it definitely does help. Take the time to cry, grieve, whatever you have to do - it's not something you can just get over overnight. The passing of time does help though.

Hugs xx
