Has anyone else encountered this?
My late-term miscarriage ended a suprise pregnancy. Because I was almost five months along, I had to have a D&C, during which I felt very exposed and violated. My doctors were supportive and professional, but I couldn't help feeling like they were taking my baby away from me, even though that had already been done by God, Chance, or simply bad genetics.
Since then, I have been very reluctant to have sex, as any similarity in physical position brings back memories of the procedure. Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can work through this? I've read reports of the reactions of rape victims and they react similarly, but this is a very different situation. Help!

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...
Anyway, I'm so sorry you were so traumatized by your medical treatment. I was fortunate to be unconscious for my D&C and I'm a little shocked you weren't. I have no memory of the procedure whatsoever. My medical staff was very compassionate and I felt they were taking care of me the very best way they could.
Since this does seem to be interfering with your life, have you considered talking to a counselor or therapist? I've been seeing a psychologist for therapy ever since 2 weeks after my miscarriage. She has really helped me come to terms with the aftermath.
I will be thinking of you.
Sorry if I wasn't any help, but I am truly sorry for your loss and what you are going through right now.
