How will I ever cope with my misscarriage?

I've had the worse few days of my live. I found out at 17 weeks pregnant my baby had no heart beat. 2 days later I had to give birth to the baby. After it I lost alot of blood and nearly died. I'm home now but I feel lost. I'm so weak and can't do much for myself. I feel so hurt I lost my baby. I have 3 other kids age 1 to 7 and need to stay strong for them :-(

    The hardest thing any parent would have to cope with is the loss of a child. Even though this child was not born yet it you probably looked forward to it's birth and loved that little life.

    You need to let go for the sake of your other children but hold that baby in your heart. Celebrate that little life and say goodbye with a ritual. Fill a few balloons with small messages to that baby and fill them with helium and let them go. You can rent a helium machine at a party store. Or--Make a scrap book with all your hopes and dreams for that baby--or think of some way to say good bye. You won't forget him but life goes on and the hurt will ease. In time you may realize that that miscarriage was what was best for the baby even though it makes your heart ache.

    I wish you the best

    Their is no way to just from one day to the next be happy & say everything is back to normal. Trust at 7weeks I had a misscarriage. Its the worse thing every! People say it's okay but in reality no one actually knows what ur going through unless they are are well. Their is no cure no nothing. Take it day by day & be stting for your little babies. Now you have 3 kids & one angel. For myself i ended up getting a tattoo to help me. It will be hard but try to get into your normal routine it wont be easy but then you will find yourself doing much better. If you need help around the house call family over to help out. Its been 8 months since my angel went to heaven & their is not a day i go without thinking about him/her. But it makes me smile knowing my angel is in a safe place looking down on daddy & I. I wish you the best of luck & let no one bring you down !

    You're a brave woman to have gone through that =( I know I wouldn't know how to deal with that kind of thing. I'd be lost as well. But I'd also know to reach out to support groups and for help. I would advise you to contact other mothers through support groups or therapy, or even online who have gone through the same exact thing as you. You did not mention a partner here either. But assuming that you do have a husband/boyfriend/ or partner, have him deal with the kids for now. If he is not around, or needs to work, have a friend come over and stay with you for a few weeks and help with the kids. You need to rest and heal right now. I wish you the best of everything. Keep your head up and have positive thoughts everyday. I want you to be able to heal and be happy again!! =) =) =)

    I found out at 24wks pregnant that our baby had no heartbeat, and I had to give birth to our beautiful stillborn daughter. She was born 3 weeks ago tomorrow. I also lost alot of blood during labour & delivery.

    I also have another daughter, shes 10mths old.

    It is so hard, I know it is, I know exactly how you are feeling.

    Please, if you have facebook, search for the SANDS group - its a group to support people who have been through miscarriages, stillborns & neonatal deaths. You will realise, unfortunately, how common it is for people to experience what you are. There are some lovely people on there who can help and support you and everyone in the group has been through it. They will help, and it does help talking about it.

    I know I need to stay strong for my daughter but you know, it is really difficult and you need to be kind to yourself and give yourself a break. You're allowed to cry. Since giving birth to our stillborn daughter I've realised that I need to be so gentle on myself and have set certain times when our other daughter is in bed to relax etc.

    Please please please talk to someone, join the SANDS group on facebook, or search for their website. I honestly wish I could talk to you and help you and support you. xx
