Hi ladies - After I had my miscarriage - I was hungry for information. I bought and read countless books as to why this happened to me. And more importantly, what - if anything - I could do to never ever have another one. One of my closest friends had the exact opposite reaction to her miscarriage. She wanted to put it behind her and never discuss it again. So when we are building the "Healing" portion of the Nurture app - a 60 day off cycle time that women can use to heal after a miscarriage, we want to speak to both groups. As women who have suffered a miscarriage, what would you want the healing section to include? Articles? Tips to reduce miscarriage rates? Daily Tasks designed to make you feel better? What can we do to be of greatest service to women who are experiencing this horrific loss? Thank you in advance for your thoughts.

In the calander section you should be able to record your miscarriage as such. Right now I had to record it as a really long period and it totally messed up the app's accuracy for my period and cycle length. Miscarriages happen all the time but the data you can get about the timing of you conception is invaluable, the app should have a way to record them properly.

Fix the calendar after my mc I have no idea when my fertile time of month is there should be an option to put in mc

Reading other women's stories and knowing I'm not alone has been helpful. I DON'T want tips on how to reduce mc, because as Drs say, with most mc there is nothing you could have done differently to avoid mc. They mainly happen if there is a random chromosomal problem with the baby and we have little control over that unfortunate lottery. Tips to avoid mc will have me wondering what I did wrong and feeling guilty about e.g a food choice that was unlikely to have an impact on the pregnancy anyway. Most of us probably know the biggies anyway e.g don't smoke, eat healthily and those of us who are older know our risk increases but we can hardly change the age of our eggs! Thanks to all the supportive ladies on here who bravely share their stories.

Yes! And an option to log past miscarriages. Dates, how far along, and what type(missed,chemical,ectopic) I for one do not hide mine, I have lost 9 babies and they are all previous to me, one day I will have my rainbow baby

Sharing stories was the most helpful thing for me. It helped to know I was not alone and the support you get from others who have gone through it help. I would also like some medical information on what is "normal" during this time in regards to my body. Things like how long bleeding lasts, when will hcg levels go back down, when to expect your next period. I felt like I had a lot of questions about what was going on with my body.

Tips on mindfulness and relaxation that can be done easy & free at home and work: giving your body and brain room to heal. I came to glow to find other women to talk with in the same post-mc phase as me: day 1 (the hardest for me), first days, first week, and TTC later without totally freaking out every second. Keep reminding me to breathe. Maybe a TWW section dedicated to "distractions only"? :) For mc specifically: a setting next to the future "I've had a mc" toggle that says "I'm not ready to talk about this yet, Glow, please leave me alone" or "I think I can handle hearing some science, stories, and advice right now." Then you could change that setting whenever you do feel ready, or never.

Information on what is likely to happen during a MC, physically, hormonally, & emotionally. My doctor left me in the dark, so I was investigating on my own. Be that resource for women feeling stranded. Info on how to coach friends & family about what not to say, & how to be supportive. Allow us to mark MC & the ensuing continual bleeding on the calendar. Mine thinks I had a 30+ day period now. I had problems switching back to TTC & switching Glow back to "not pregnant" when leaving Nurture. In fact it still has the word "I'm pregnant" displayed in my Glow settings. So I was getting advice & updates on my "baby" for weeks after. Really looking forward to these changes!

I would like daily reminders to take care of myself. Physically, emotionally etc.

I craved information after mine too. I just wanted to know that I wasn't the only one and why this happened. It took a lot of time and thinking. I'll very be okay with losing my angel but I've came to terms with it. I think miscarriages are brushed under the rug too much. We grieve. We hurt. We need time. We need support. The best thing I ever did was join a few online support groups.

I think it's most important for women to know that it's nothing they did wrong and that they are not alone. It's a very confusing time with little actual answers.
