I miscarried last week at 13 weeks and 4 days. It was such a shock and part of me is still having a hard time believing it. We go to the doctor tomorrow for a check up to see how everything is going as my body gets back to normal. Going tomorrow feels like I have to actually close the book on this pregnancy. It was my first pregnancy and our first baby together. It meant everything in the world to me to be pregnant. We didn't know if my husband would be able to conceive and we were shocked when it happened after only four months of trying, and for it to be taken away from us so suddenly was like a stab to the heart. I have wanted nothing but to be a mom for such a long time, and now I just have to wait a little longer. To top it all off, my sister-in-law is also expecting and we were due within a week of each other, and now I have to watch her experience everything that I wanted to experience with her second baby while my first one is gone.

I am having a really hard time thinking about trying to have another baby right now, and my husband has been nothing but supportive. At what point following a miscarriage were you ready to try again? How did you get over your fear of possible having another one? It's so hard for me to see the light at the end of the tunnel right now, but everything is still so raw.
