Hello I don't know if this is mentally going to help me but I need to figure something out because I feel like I am destructing inside and I tried to talk to a professional and she told me to get over it.. Didn't go very well.. I first was told I never could get preg. due to being raped severely. Then in 2004 I got preg was blessed by God and then I went into labor and the nurses kept saying she was D celling and the doctor said we were fine.. Well 19 hours later my daughter was brought into this world and she was brain dead..

One month and three days later the state made us take her off life support and that is the day I lost Hope for everything.. I really went down hill.. I started doing drugs and drinking to escape then I got preg again and I had a miscarriage.. Then I lost it again and I got preg again the third time and she is healthy as can be she is 3 yrs old!

I want another baby and we just had another miscarriage and before I could avoid the pain by doing illegal things but this time I have a wonderful 3 yr old that depends on me so I refuse! But I have been having severe panic attacks and then have been hospitalizing me. It broke my heart when my daughter knew she was having a baby and I thought so and then our dreams were crushed and it seemed 10 times harder having to tell her.. My heart rate is getting up around 280, bp 260/145, resp. 34, and my O2 were down in the 60's everytime.. I am so scared and I don't know what to do the doctors say they are panic attacks but I need to find a way to deal with losing my precious baby so I can be fully here for my babygirl! I love her with all my heart and she is the only reason that I wake up everyday and even breathe.. She is my reason for life! It's hard because she wants another brother/sister so bad but what do I tell her.. I am hurting inside myself and trying to talk to her about it hurts even more! I take her to our daughter's grave and she knows what happen to her we take her stuff all the time. Lately I have been not taking her with me because she is starting to ask questions and I don't want to damage her trust issues like mine are. The only person she stays with is my mother and I home school her. I don't trust nobody with my daughter.. I trusted a doctor to bring Kiera into this world and she let my daughter and I down.. Does anyone have any suggestions?View Thread

my never-ending miscarriage

Sorry this is a pretty long entry but I guess I needed to vent: I started bleeding when I was ten weeks...

Posted by jjwl100

Sorry this is a pretty long entry but I guess I needed to vent:
I started bleeding when I was ten weeks pregnant, the Thursday before memorial weekend. I was scheduled with a new Dr. that I hadn't seen yet for my first OB appointment, and when I called the office to tell them I was bleeding, the medical assistant blew me off and told me that the bleeding was probably just from sex and to call back Tuesday if I was still bleeding. I told her that considering that there was a long holiday weekend coming up and that my husband was supposed to be going out of town for work, I was going to go to the ER if they weren't going to see me. She advised against going to the hospital because she said I'd wait around for 6 hours for them to tell me the same thing that she just did.
So Friday I took it easy all day and the bleeding didn't let up. I started having cramping also and my husband insisted that I go to the emergency room. At the ER I had a pelvic exam, an ultrasound and labwork. The diagnosis the Dr gave us was a probable miscarriage.
Saturday was the worst day. I went through a period of a few hours where I was passing tons of blood and huge (grapefruit-sized) clots. It slowed down, but I still had moderate bleeding and cramping for a few days.
I called my Drs. office tuesday to tell them what happened over the weekend and that the ER advised me to follow up with them. The assistant blew me off again and told me she'd call me the next day, but then didn't because she didn't work that day. I called and complained and was scheduled with a different Dr in the practice who had a different medical assistant. They have been pretty good so far, but I haven't had an exam since the emergency room. Also, I was told that I could bleed up to 2 weeks, but I'm still bleeding and its been almost 5 weeks. They have had me getting labwork every couple of weeks, and say that unfortunately for me it just seems to be taking longer than it takes most women's bodies to complete the miscarriage. The past few days I've been having shooting vaginal pains that make it hard to even stand up.
I feel like this is going to go on forever. I am so broken hearted over this, and it wasn't planned so my husband is on the fence about trying again... we already have two kids and we both are afraid of going through this hell ever again. But I can't even begin to move on with my life or figure out what we should do while I am still miscarrying (I say I because although my husband was sad and ver supportive, he seems to be over it and doesn't seem to feel the loss that I do). My mom thinks that I should have had a D&C a long time ago. I am trying to have faith in my Dr. who says it's best to let it happen naturally. I've tried calling a couple of other Dr.s offices to try and get a second opinion, but no one will help me. I am hoping that someone out there has had a similar experience and can offer some advice:)View Thread

Posted by An_187306

PLEASE NOTE: If you are a squeamish person, or someone who would take offense to a story about a possible miscarriage, do not read the following. I'm not sure what's happening to my body, and as many of my age group, would rather turn to the internet (where yes, VERY intelligent people do roam) than go sit in a waiting room for six hours (the average wait around here) if I do not need to go.
Also, no getting mad. I'm just being honest.

I am, as of last month, 21 years old, meaning I am no longer covered under my mother's insurance.
I am pretty sure that I had a miscarriage, though, if true, I didn't know I was pregnant. I had surgery a about a month and a half ago, during which I knew I was not pregnant (they ran a urinalysis before the CT scan the determined if I needed the appendectomy in the first place) and had chocked up the almost-three-weeks-late period as a side effect, but now I've been bleeding on and off for about two weeks. I have unbelievable cramps, absolutely terrible, and today, while showering for work, I thought I was unlucky enough to pass a rather large blood clot. While attempting to clean it up (or let it wash down the drain) I noticed it didn't seem right. It wasn't all the dark red it should have been, and seemed to be getting lighter in color as the water ran over it. I had to pick it up to see, because it seemed to be clogging the drain, which was just weird.
Now, being slightly curious about the thing that had just fallen out of me, I noticed it looked like skin. It seemed about the size of my palm and as if it were some sort of sack-shape, with holes in it, though it's not like I was running my hands all over it taking mental pictures. I was very startled.
I removed it from the shower, discarding it the best way I knew how. My substantial stomach pains had gone down
though I noticed my period was significantly heavier. I went about my day, going to work and coming home as I normally do, though I stopped at the bar with some friends after work, our Thursday night ritual.
During my lunch break at work I called my mom, told her what had happened this morning, and she (being an Army medic and a civilian Paramedic/RN) told me I should see a doctor.
Now, I feel fine. As a matter of fact today is the one day I didn't want to cry while at work. I've been having my period for two weeks, with a day every few days where I don't bleed at all, although the pain has been almost unbearable almost every day.
My mother's suggestion was go home, get some sleep, go see a doctor in the morning, but as I do not have health insurance I don't want to just go and have to deal with the seriously high bills. Also, my mom suggests going to the hospital for a migraine, because I'm her first child to leave the nest, I live very far away, and she' a born worrier.
Now, SHOULD I see a doctor? Like, if I'm still feeling unwell on Monday, should I go? Or do I have to go tomorrow?
Is this a life or death situation, like my appendix, where I'm lucky I listened to my mother and saw a doctor because I got the just in the nick of time? Or is this something that can just blow over, like it will pass on it's own or something?
I don't like hospitals, I take after my mother and start worrying that I'm going to die as soon as the doctor leaves the room with giving me a diagnosis, it drives me insane. Is there something I can do to make sure I'm okay before I have a doctor do it for me?
I feel okay, I mean, I was at work all day today, and have just been feeling like my normal period self today. No exceptional cramping, no more huge mass.
And I have the next two days off, so would it be okay for me to wait a few days? See how this progresses?
Trust me, if there was a baby in there, it's either gone or about to be gone... I have been having my period for a few weeks now, and it's been really heavy the last two days. No chance of survival.
Also, this type of thing runs in my family (my mom had three miscarriages before she was successfully pregnant with me.)View Thread

Two losses in less than two months

I had two pregnancy losses before I got married. I had two more in the first few years after I got...

Posted by brokeninside

I had two pregnancy losses before I got married. I had two more in the first few years after I got married. After eight years we finally gave up and decided to buy motorcycles and try to enjoy being childless as much as possible. A few weeks after that I got pregnant and my son is now four. I got pregnant again two years later and he is now almost 2. I thought we were past all the heartache and problems.

I have always wanted a big family and it finally seemed like it was finally going to happen. Then my husband decided he didn't want any more and I was heartbroken. He never even discussed it with me...he just started telling people we were done having kids because I was so emotional and mean during my second pregnancy. I got pregnant while using protection in April and was terrified to tell him. When I did he was as excited as I was! Two days after I found out I started bleeding. I went to the doc and they confirmed that I had indeed been pregnant and that I had lost the baby. They told me to wait six to eight weeks before trying again.

After waiting for eight years for the first one and the second one taking four months of charting and trying we didn't bother to use any protection and withing 2 1/2 weeks I conceived again. At first I didn't realize I was pregnant and thought I had a urinary tract infection. I went to the doctor and they told me I was pregnant. I was excited but scared too. They did a quantitative hCG test and said that there might be something wrong. They did an ultra sound but it was too early to see anything. The next few weeks everything seemed fine and I kept thinking to myself,"Of course everything will be fine! God couldn't possibly be that cruel." I started spotting this last Friday and having mild cramps but my doc closes early on Fridays so I went to the ER. They did another hCG test and an ultra sound and said that there was no heart beat and it looked like there was something wrong with the baby anyway. I didn't have any real pain or bleeding until this morning...and this afternoon I passed everything.

My heart is broken and I am pissed off at myself for believing and at God for letting me down. My husband said,"At least we have two that we never thought we would have!" I told him I love my kids, but I refuse to be grateful that I have two out of EIGHT of my babies here on Earth with me.

I want to bring up trying again with my husband, but I am too dang chicken. The bottom line is, I am NOT done having babies!!! But what if God and/or my husband decide otherwise?

I know this is long, and I don't expect anyone to read all the way through it or comment.....I just needed to put what I was feeling into words.View Thread
