- Go to I'll Share With You, My Friends & Peers, The Worst 5 Days of My Life
BB,
Thank you for sharing your story (on this and the other blog regarding this) It means a lot. I realize a pregnancy would be obviously exciting to anyone; especially if it's the first. Many of us miscarry even if we ever know it. I've heard that we sometimes miscarry a pregnancy before our next scheduled period, so we may not even know it happened (I think that's a good thing) However, when we miscarry after knowing, after a lengthy period of time, and especially if we've personally bonded with the fact, that makes it so hard. As I said, especially if it's a first pregnancy.

I can absolutely understand what you went through. When I commented to you the other day about how I told everyone the first time I was pregnant. Well, I told everyone and then soon after I miscarried. That's why I kept so quiet the next two times.
I was off work for weeks and I remember the agony of waiting for the operation.

Wow, thank you so much, Jerjol,
and I'm so sorry for your loss. That's much rougher than what I went through. Oh, and about the adoption thing, it's kind of ironic you mention that. I am adopted myself!

My heart and feelings go out to you!
| Dear sweet spitfire, I read your story about the worst five days in your life and I well understood your sadness. I lost my first born son at seven months due to a young interns misdiagnosis. That was forty years ago, and my Son Jody is never out of my heart and mind. Please consider the following! Althought not born of your body an adopted child can help to sooth much of your sorrow sorrow. I have adopted three and no matter what people might say or think they are mine and I am very proud of them all. Never had one regret for my wifes and my decision. I`m an old man now and have a grandson who I absolutely adore. I spend every precious moment I can with him and thank God for his being here with me. |

Guys will never understand the joy of giving birth (except for Arnold Schwertzneger's character in that movie) but we all understand sorrow and loss and all admire the strength it takes to carry on.

Honey, we are so connected.
March 31st is a day I will always remember and will always cry on. Nearly the exact same thing happened to me. March 31st was the day I found out that my baby was no more. My ex-husband still blames me for the death of our child. Now, of course, I will never have one. However, I believe the Goddess has another plan for me...to mother all pussies.

I, in no way can understand the grief
you went through nor would I even try. But spit it seems that it has made you a stronger person. Many would have lived the rest of their live's bitter at God and everything else. I salute you for your strength.

Spitfire::::I'm so sorry to hear about this. As a woman I understand how it must have hurt you. Hopefully, there's some drug you can take that would help you to get thru a normal pregnancy.
