I had two miscarriages this summer. For the first, I had a D&C. The second was soon after. I was sad, but I am a strong, confident person and pulled myself up by my bootstraps. I recently found out that I have remnants of the first pregnancy still in my uterine lining, and I need to get a D&C in order to remove it. Otherwise, if I get pregnant again, the baby may have a hard time implanting. This news has made me so sad.... it has made me feel like there is still a portion of that baby still within me. I am feeling so depressed, and somewhat crazy, bc this is not me at all to be this way. I miss the baby I lost... the first one in particular. My husband has been supportive, but he does not fully understand. I have a hard time talking about it to anyone, bc I am not used to being vulnerable and sad. I have no kids, and all of my closest frieds do-- I am 37. I do not know what to do with my grief. :(

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Since my miscarriage and D&C in Aug., nothing has been the same. It is very difficult for people who haven't experienced this kind of loss to understand. It's the same with my husband. He hadn't bonded with this pregnancy before we lost it. I think it is inevitable that the experience is different for men. I often have to tell him if I'm struggling with it. Don't be afraid to tell him what you need.
Something else that has helped me is going to a professional psychologist for the first time in my life. I was lucky to find someone who specializes in fertility issues, but a therapist who specializes in loss/grief should be able to help too.
I will be thinking of you.
