Coping with loss during spring holidays

Going through a pregnancy is a very difficult and painful thing no matter what time of year it happens. Right now with several holidays coming up I was wondering how you all are doing. Do you have plans for how you are going to cope with holidays that you and your family celebrate, like Passover, Easter, Beltane or Mother's day?I always wanted to put infertility and losses behind me and just celebrate with my family. But with all the focus on kids and family it was hard to do, especially fresh after a miscarriage. I tried to keep plans as simple as possible, and I talked with husband and mom about what we should do if I need to leave early or just take some time by myself.  Something else that helped was to make my own ceremony around loss so I could feel that I was acknowledging our loss and not just pretending that everything is fine and faking it through holidays. I am so very sorry for all of your losses, and I wish you all a full recovery.

Silent Miscarriage??

About a month ago I was 26days late my period eventually came was normal lasted 5 days. Two weeks ago I started my period however there was no cramps usually I start cramping before the bleeding. The next day I woke up covered in blood as I have stood up I’ve noticed a big puddle of blood which was a red flag that never happens I began feeling week so I went to urgent care and I was given tranzemic acid to slow down the bleeding I continued to bleed for a total of 12 days and was still heavy even though the medication was supposed to work I still feel weak and still experiencing cramping and spotting could this be a sign of a silent miscarriage I’ve never had any issues with my cycle and I’m not on any contraceptive’s

Miscarrying twins taking miso

We’ve wanted children for so long and are currently experiencing the worst loss so far. We finally had success and ended up pregnant with identical twins through IVF. Unfortunately our babies stopped developing and didn’t have a heartbeat. After multiple ultrasounds just to make sure it wasn’t somehow missed, I’m now having to take misopristol. I have been in pain for over 11 hours since taking it despite taking 800mg tablets of ibuprofen twice now. I’ve only passed a few clots and some blood but not as much as I expected and no tissue. I didn’t even have any bleeding in the first 5-6 hours. When I passed the first clot, both pills came back out with it. I will be picking up another dose of miso to take tomorrow, but I’m nervous I’m going to go through all of this and still have to get a D&C. Has anyone experienced anything similar?

No Fetal Heartbeat!

Hey mommas! I hope everyone is well! I went for an ultrasound today (7 weeks 5 days) and was told that there is a fetal pole and yolk sac but no fetal heartbeat was seen. I have to go back next week for a follow-up ultrasound. Has anyone experienced this and had a positive result?

How long will I hurt? Trigger warning

I had a miscarriage in October... My bf and I agreed to try for another... every month when my period comes I feel like I failed. I failed my bf, I failed my kid whos been asking for a sibling, and I failed myself for not getting my rainbow baby. I usually just get in a funk for a few days, but havent cried since getting a necklace with what would have been the babys birthstone. But tonight when I tested my LH levels and realized I completely missed the window to try to conceive (due to busy schedules on both our sides) I started crying and then it hit me that if I hadnt lost the baby Id be 6 months pregnant right now. Id know the sex of the baby, Id have had or be preparing a baby shower, everyone in my life would know and be planning to spoil him/her just like they do my 6yr old, and I lost the baby at 6 weeks... I seem to have hit the horrid 666... (that just dawned on me typing all the dates). I want to tell my bf Im spiraling right now, but also dont want to make him relive the pain of the loss either, assuming he hasnt dwelled on it like I have. I just dont know how he felt about the loss and how he feels when I dont get pregnant each month. How long will I hurt? Will I ever get closure on this miscarriage?

Miscarriage symptom

I had a miscarriage and I was given the abortion pill to complete the process should there be an odor? I also have a tender pelvic should I be worried. This happened a week ago

Preserve or keepsake?

This will be our first loss at an advanced stage. Atill in 1st trimester. Not sure what i will see when baby passes. I should be 9 wks but baby still measured 6 wks. She tried to at least fins heart beat. Nothing. Has anyone ever done a keepsake? I only have the first 2 ultrasound pics and test. I think maybe it is early that there is nothing to do as keepsake. Past losses was ectopic unknown location and low progesterone at 6 wks.

Can anyone help????

Can anyone help??I had a missed miscarriage 3 1/2 weeks ago and my hcg levels are back down to 0 now ( my dr confirmed weekly with nlood tests) I went to the bathroom today and when I stood up to wipe there was a long stringy discharge hanging with specks of red blood in it ( attached a picture below) Could this be the start of my period after everything ?? I’ve never had this happen before! TIA

Tw- miscarriage image

I had a small abnormal pregnancy sac which they said I’d miscarry. I started my miscarriage a few days ago and passed this yesterday. Is this the pregnancy sac?

Miscarriage? TW

I got positive tests this past weekend. Yesterday I started bleeding. I woke up to heavy bleeding everywhere. It’s bright/dark red and some small clots. Cramping a lot especially in my back. I’ve been waking up with the worst headaches ever as well. I’m also very gassy in the stomach and have been have some diarrhoea… is this an early miscarriage?

It was very painful and let alone a dam 2800 bill (with insurance) . Please send words of encouragement

When did you miscarry after you started spotting?

Im 6weeks pregnant. Got my positive digital on dec 28. Since tuesday (jan 7) ive been having really light spotting. Usually its brown, sometimes its pink or red. Im having mild cramps. Theyre not as bad as period cramps but still uncomfortable. I called my dr & they wont do anything unless im bleeding through 2 pads an hour. This is my 3rd pregnancy. I had some spotting with my second that ended up as a SCH that healed on its own. But the spotting did not last this long. Im honestly miserable with worry. Im afraid to exercise, to lift my toddler, to wipe every time i pee :( im thinking of calling my dr again & requesting a progesterone & hcg blood draw, just to see. Idk if theyll do it though. So, if you feel comfortable talking about it, how long did you spot/bleed before you had a miscarriage?

Miscarriage tattoo ideas?

Hey yall, so I lost my baby on Halloween. Ive been trying to decide what kind of tattoo to get for them. I was 6 weeks when I lost them. I dont know if they were a girl or boy obviously. I saw a couple pics that I liked, but also contemplated adding to the memorial tattoo I have for my grandma, but dont want to take away from her tattoo if that makes sense. Have any of you gotten tattoos for your loss? Do you mind sharing what you got for inspiration? I also cant decide if I use the date I found out I was pregnant, the date I lost them, or what would have been their due date. What did y'all use? I found out I was pregnant on Oct 18th, lost them on Oct 31st, and their due date wouldve been June 25th. Here are the pics of the ideas I like and the tattoo for my grandma.

5 weeks pregnant

Is it normal to have this much blood? Started at 1 pm today and stopped for about an hour then started again…

Milk coming in after a second trimester miscarriage

I had to give birth to my baby at 17 weeks who was already passed. My milk startedto come in, i have 2 kids and i always produced a lot of milk and my breasts are enormous, so sore, can't even lift my arms up, what should i do? I was thinking about expressing some milk to relieve the pain, but that would just make it worse, no? I called midwives and they said dont do anything, will go away in a day or 2

I don’t know how to feel

So I just had a miscarriage in September. And I still have not had my period since after the loss. Has anyone else experienced this? We are still trying. And of course hopeful but I don’t know if something is brewing or it’s normal to miss it after my loss.

First miscarriage 💔

Hi, so I never post anything on here, and I don’t have a supportive family and I was in a recent car wreck but just had a miscarriage yesterday and I am not sure what to do. I feel so alone through this 😢

2nd trimester Miscarriage

I miscarried about 6 weeks ago at 14 weeks. I have really struggled with how I feel about everything. We have 4 children and planned to be done but got pregnant with a surprise. It felt like God wanted us to have one more and I was finally starting to wrap my head around having another baby when I miscarried. When we lost the baby I felt so lost and confused. I don’t know if we should have another baby or stick to our original plan of only having 4 children. My heart aches for the baby we lost but I don’t know if I should have another one. I thought I was doing better but this week has been hard because I would have been 20 weeks and I miss my baby so much. I know God is good but it really sucks going through a miscarriage. Especially when that may be the way we end our family. I hate ending our family on losing a baby. 💔

Stressed

Another hard part of miscarrying is feeling your families pain and feeling like you failed them because they were so excited….. anyways I’m starting therapy soon.

One day at a time.

I’m trying so hard not to be angry, resentful, bitter …. It’s so hard.
