Hi everyone~

Well....last night I had a natural miscarriage. While I am grieving the loss of our baby, I am thankful for how things happened because I was scheduled to have a D&C this morning - and I really wanted my body to do what it needed to on its own. My prayer was answered.

I never thought I would be TTC after a loss, but from what I have seen and heard - miscarriages are not an uncommon thing...painful yes, but a rare event - sadly no.

I would appreciate any advice, information, etc. you could give me as we try to move forward and get one with our lives. This was our first time TTC and we did get pregnant on the first try...unfortunately, we miscarried on the first try as well.

Best wishes and luck to all of you...may we all have a happier outcome this time.

JM

No one ever thinks she'll find herself in this club. I certainly never thought I'd be here either.

But we're here together and we have the opportunity to support one another.

One thing that helped me through my losses was to give our babies names. Giving our lost angels names has made them "real" in our family. I also had a box engraved with the name and conception date of our first loss on the top. Inside we have all of our pregnancy tests, chromosomal analyses, cards, etc. from our losses. I keep this on my nightstand. It's a way for me to keep our babies close to me.

And lastly, it has helped me to be open to giving God thanks for which He may never give me the privilege of understanding. It's not my RIGHT to know why--it's a privilege and if He doesn't want to give me that answer, I'm willing to accept that and praise Him for the gift of life, no matter how short that life may have been.

If I can help you at all, please PM me whenever you need to.

I really like your idea about giving our babies names and having an engraved box...but I have to be honest and say I do not think I am "there" yet. But I want to thank you, I do believe doing as you have will help me find the closure I know I will need.
