I am very sorry for your losses. I am glad you are meeting with a specialist and I hope you are able to find some answers.
You can also find some really awesome support on the Trying To Conceive After Loss board. The board isn't overly active, but more so than here. And, I can speak from experience, there is a wealth of knowledge and encouragement from the ladies there.
Good luck to you!View Thread
A very good friend of mine went through a similar situation at almost the same age as you. She knew she was pregnant, but it was ectopic only she didn't find out until she was almost 10 weeks. When they went in to remove the pregnancy, the doctor touched her tube and it exploded. She lost a lot of blood and, like you, almost died.
I am happy to say that she now has a beautiful 3.5 year old boy and 9 month old boy/girl twins. She did have to have fertility treatments to get pregnant. But she was able to carry to term.
My advice to you is to take each moment as it comes. Don't try to hide your sadness or pretend your ok. Let yourself feel whatever it is you're feeling. You can be thankful to be alive and still ache for what you lost. And know that there is no right or wrong way to grieve, so anything you feel is normal, be it anger, sandness, shock or jealousy. You'll probably feel them all along the journey.
Only time will help you cope.View Thread

This is my first pregnancy and I am 35 years old. What happens when you have a miscarriage? Is it something you do at home, or are you supposed to go to a hospital? Is it just a lot of blood, or what? How long does it last?View Thread
Take care! ((hugs))View Thread
