I I’ve had two miscarriages in the past seven months and though I have three healthy children the feelings of loss pop up so randomly sometimes. With my first miscarriage I thought I had handled it so well initially, telling myself that these things happen all the time and it was just a part of being open to life. But as the weeks went on the pain became more and more apparent and for six months afterwards I cried at least once a week for my lost baby. I would look at the emoty sixth seat at our dinner table and feel that someone was missing. I would see a family with four children and almost break down. I began to blame myself too thinking I could have done something to save her life. So with my second miscarriage, once I suspected that something was wrong, I asked for a slew of tests to be done to make sure it wasn’t my body that was rejecting the pregnancy. The doctors thought I was being too paranoid but when I lost the baby again they were surprised at how well I knew my body and what wasn’t normal. They assured me that it wasn’t me but just not a viable pregnancy due to some random abnormality with the baby. I lost the second one on Mother’s Day which will now carry its own weight every year on a day when I should be celebrating my living children. The emotions behind miscarriage are many and it may take years to fully process them. But it is in reading articles like this that we find healing and can be hope for each other. Thank you for sharing your heart. You are a beautiful mama!

We lost our daughter to stillbirth in January and I have been having some irrational thoughts in regards to my living son’s safety. It is nice to know that these are normal thoughts and fears, and how to deal with them. ??

I have two healthy children and 4 angels and I agree those losses creep in and affect you at the darndest times!
