I recently had a miscarriage, my OB thought it was a blighted ovum. I was only three weeks along, but am still having diffuculty moving forward. I constantantly am thinking that I should be "this many weeks pregnant" and still get very upset every time I think about the miscarriage. I really want to have a baby, but am very scared this will happen again! I don't know if I can handle another miscarriage. When we first found out my husband and I were so EXCITED that we told everybody. I still see people and have to explain to them that I am not pregnant. I don't know what to do! Do I try again?

I am sorry for your loss. To try or not to try is a decision only you and your partner can make. I wish I could tell you that everything will be fine the next time but no one can make that guarantee. All the best in whatever path you choose.

I wish that someone had told me not to worry so much about whether or not I'm getting over it or moving on. Don't worry about moving forward. You will inevitably move forward. But don't deny yourself the time you need to grieve. The grief, I have found, is not something that ends; it just changes. It gets to be less sharp. The days that the grief isn't at the front of your mind slowly increases. It's hard to have to tell people about the loss. Don't be hard on yourself about how you are feeling: there's no right way to feel about this. It just is what it is.

i was the saem, told everyone i was pregnant as soon as ifound out. and when we lost it, i found that even though i had to explain to these people i wasnt pregnant now, it was hard but inspiring to find out how supportive they all were.

i found out a lot of people had had the same experiences and got given a lot of advice.

trying again is something you and your partner need to talk about? no-one else can answer or tell you when to try again.

    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...
