Does it ever get better?
I miscarried 6 days ago, I was 7 weeks and 5 days. We were so excited...bought a crib, were dreaming up names...then on Sunday morning I started spotting. 24 hours later it was all over. Our dreams crushed when we saw the empty ultrasound. My 2 year old still wants to touch my belly and ask when is she going to get to play with the baby? I know I was naive, but I never expected this to happen. I want to be pregnant again soon, but don't know how to shake this sadness to even be able to try.

I am so sorry....I remember that feeling so well. My husband and I had the same thing happen at about the same point in our pregnancy. I never in a million years thought that would ever happen to me. Even after over 5 years and three children, I still remember that empty feeling :( It does get better, but no, you don't ever forget it. I got pregnant immediately after our loss, but we were very tight lipped about it until later on in the pregnancy. I am very sorry for your loss. Do you best to explain to your two year old that the baby won't be coming. Take time to grieve your loss. You are in my prayers.

Time does heal these wounds and prayer will give you comfort during this difficult time of grieving. I have had 6 miscarriages , all during the first trimester. These events were always shocking, leaving me devastated and empty. I understand fully what you are going through. I am so sorry. Trying for another baby soon will help in the healing process. It helped me. Despite our losses we were blessed with a total of 4 healthy children. While our losses were hard to endure, they did shape our lives and strengthened our faith. You and your family will be in my prayers tonight. Best wishes and the Lord's blessings.

I am so sorry for you're loss. I had the same thing happen with my first pregnancy, but I was 10 weeks along. At first they told me the bleeding I was having was normal, then that night my world came crashing down. My fiance has a 3 year old and we told him that there is no baby in my belly that he went to go play with the other babies for awhile and would be back again some day. It's not something you'll forget or get over, but the pain will ease over time and when you least expect it you will be expecting a bundle of joy. There is no such thing as to much crying or too much sadness. It took me 2 weeks to finally stop crying and leave my house.

Im so sorry, I went through a similar situation in October and it really does feel like its all crumbling down around you. I think, like most people are saying, time helps you move forward. I still miss my little angel everyday and I cry every now then, but my fiance and I agreed to take our time and heal slowly. take your time and remember every day to move forward, not necessarily move on, but forward.
