My story

I am 29 years old and have two beautiful children ages 12 and 10. My husband and I decided a couple of years ago to try for a third.

Since then I have been pregnant 5 times all ending in misacrriages by week 16. the most recent was Nov. 30th.

I have been hiding in my room since coming home from the hospital friday evening. Until today that is. I try to talk to my husband but he stopps me and tells me he does not want to dwell on the bad. My mother keeps telling me I should not have gotten my hopes up and to move on.

I am at a loss because I feel stuck, and very lost. I don't know why but this one has effected me much more than the last few. I feel as though I am to blame, and that my own body has betrayed me. Does anyone have any advise for me because I really do not know how to handle this one.

Time will help you. Give yourself lots of it. You are not to blame. Family can be not as supportive as we'd like them to be at times. I understand the whole body betraying you thing, because I felt as if my body let me, Dot, my DH, and Dot's extended family down. It may help to seek a therapist or grief counseling if no one at home is being of support to you. You need a support network during this time and if you have to go outside of your family to get it...Then do what you need to do.

I am so so so sorry for your losses. I have had 4 miscarriages and I also found the last one the hardest to deal with. I don't know if thats because there is only so much grief a person can handle. don't push yourself, take your time and just try and hold on to the fact that you have two beautiful children who love you and don't lose hope that you will have more in the future.
I wish you all the best

    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...
