I'm Currently Feeling: | Sometimes I feel that I am so so scared to be pregnant again.. but then it is hard to understand because it's the thing I want really bad at this moment.
Miscarriages are scary, and changes our lives, body, emotions.. but it's something we can't avoid it from happening too.
The only thing that keeps me alive is thinking about me being a momy to a gorgeous little baby and making my husband a dady one day because he has a high baby fever and he loves kids so much.
When I weigh out the balance between fear of getting pregnant and the fact that I cant wait to get pregnant, the result always turn out that what I really want is to get pregnant again badly.

I'm Currently Feeling: | Sorry for your losses,
I feel the same - I swing between being terrified of going through this again and just feeling sick of doctors, scans and tests and hospitals...but I want a baby so much that this is the only way!
I think everyone comes to terms with m/c in different ways and in different lengths of time. But you will know when you are ready to try again.
Good luck x | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | Me too Girls,
I had my first miscarriage in Jan... and it is a emotional rollercoaster , one minute you think your strong , the next your feeling all vunerable and negative.
I suppose all that can keep us positive is that we want to be mammies so much and with patience and positivity that'll happen.
I was thinking the same this morning, if i m pregnant this month i will have to be relaxed and go with the flow and not anaylse every single thing .... easy said than done ...  | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | Hey!!
I was the same with my first miscarriage, i didnt know i was pregnant, was 5 weeks gone, and it was a total shock. And i felt so horrible because i didnt know i was pregnant, i felt like it was my fault. And now that ive lost bubbie number two, and being 12 weeks gone, its broken my heart. I do want to get pregnant again, but i'm worried its going to happen again, kinda feel like i'm cursed!! i know that sounds stupid, but i guess we all think irrational things when we go through something like this!!

I'm Currently Feeling: | I'm so sorry for your loss. Maybe it is nature's way of telling you that you aren't emotionally ready to try again just yet? You need time to deal with your loss and grieve. I would imagine that you will know when you are ready.
Be patient with yourself.    | | | | Status: Online

I'm Currently Feeling: | I had my follow up scan today - showed all clear (phew!)
But as I left hospital I was feeling like : Right, I am avoiding this place FOREVER!
But the moment i got home I just wanted to try again.
It is a rollercoaster, but I guess the wanting a baby outweighs the fears and doubts. And (hope this doesn't sound flippant) but at least when you know you CAN conceive that is the first biggest hurdle over with.
I take comfort from that anyway.
Hugs all round. We're all strong women - remember that!

I'm Currently Feeling: | A different twist... On my first pregnancy, I had an ectopic that had to be removed. I had some damage done to my fallopian tubes, but they were hopeful it would still be enough to utilize that ovary. So my miscarriage is a little different, but I can totally empathize with the feelings.
Sometimes it IS easy to be scared of it again, but the reward of that LO when it is all said and done HAS to be worth all of it (I say that as I have not had a LO yet  ). If it wasn't - all of these wonderful ladies would not be on here providing support to one another.
Stay positive and keep moving forward  | | | | Status: Offline
