Pregnant-doper-no-more (miscarried)

Just an FYI, for those of you who keep track of such things…

I miscarried last week, apparently twins (lost them on different days, and yes, I could tell - you probably don’t want the TMI details of identifying fetal tissue).

I’m doing pretty well, considering. I had a short crisis of faith (less than 24 hours - over in record time, for me!), but have passed through that pretty much intact. A few bumps to the psyche, but nothing permanent.

I only felt one soul present for this pregnancy, anyway, and that one is still present - just waiting for the right chance, or right time, or right body. That, for me, is enough comfort. It really does feel like there is someone curled up against my side, halfway between how a child feels, snuggled up, and how a cat feels - warm, but also ‘doing its own thing and just happen to be doing it right here where you need it’. Hard to describe.

Still vastly better than my last miscarriage, where I felt a big hole where the baby should be, no comfort, immense pain. This time, no hole, very little pain. Baby still there, just not in physical form … yet. We’ll try again later. Much easier to deal with a postponement than a loss.

Anyway, thanks for listening. I am definitely disappointed (no cousin pair this time, poop), and sad (I had expectations and hopes developing, too), but I am also comfortable where I am. I am even still completely thrilled :smiley: that I will get to watch Tranq and Intaglio be parents for the second time. It isn’t hard at all to find joy, happiness, comfort, and peace. So no need to worry for me or offer more than regrets.

C’est tout.

I am so, so sorry.

I’m so sorry hedra. You know I am thinking of you.

Hugs, Hedra.

hedra,
I feel for you, having been there myself. What kept me going was the fact that I knew I could get pregnant and that I would have a child eventually. And…it worked out. I now have a beautiful 10 year old daughter, who is smart and funny and kind.
I’ll be thinking positive thoughts for you.

I’m very sorry, hedra. Best wishes.

(((((( hedra ))))))

I am sorry for your loss.

I am sorry Hedra. Your wisdom and strength are amazing. hugs

Yes, they are. hedra is as wise as she is smart, a rare thing indeed.

Support whenever you need it, sister mine.

I am sorry, Hedra. I am glad to hear you aren’t giving up - when the time is right, that child will be yours, and he or she will be loved all the more!

This is simply beautiful.

So very sorry to hear your sad news. :frowning:

Rest in peace Little Ones.

I’m sure your time will come.

I’m sorry, hedra. Beest hopes for the future.

Hedra, I am sorry for your loss.

Wishing you happy, healthy children in the future…

Eight years ago I miscarried twins on my mothers birthday October 26th. They would have been nine around my husbands birthday June 6th.
The first few years were a rough go around those times for me. Nobody around me understands this.
I felt there were girls and had one name picked and was deciding on the second. Abigayle Irene.
Some women “feel” they know what the child will be while they are pregnant and I was one of them. I have “known” with all four children I have given birth to.
Strange, I miscarried as a teen and don’t seem to have the same connection to him as I do with the girls. He would be around 16 now. But then sadly it was a messed up time in my life as well.
Now I have five children between my husband and myself. Two before the twins and two after that I gave birth to.
If you need an ear, drop me a line. I’m always here to listen and chat a bit.
Not too long ago in the local paper there was mention of a quiet place made for families to mourn miscarried children. They feel a place is needed for this since there really isn’t a stone or site for miscarried babies as there would be for stillborn or older babies.
Some families would find it easier to get closure that way. This one is in my area, and I’ve been thinking more and more about visiting it.
Funny thing is that my husband who hides emotion, hide all his all those years ago and never talks about it, is the one who brought the story to my attention.
Wonders never cease…

Oh, Hedra , I am so, so so sorry to hear this. As you may remember (because I think you posted in the thread), this happened to me in April so I know what it’s like. Please know that my thoughts are with you.

I am so sorry for your loss. I am glad to see you have found peace.
