Breaking

I found out I was pregnant about a month ago. The last week has brought something that I never thought would happen to me, I miscarried. The baby was 6 weeks, 5 days when he/she passed and I would have been 8 weeks today. I think it's important to put things like this out in the open and for women to share their experiences. We're getting through it, but I wanted to explain why I haven't posted in a while. I'll be taking a little break, just to process things. I'll be back, but it really hurts right now.This baby was so wanted and was already loved.

Very sorry to hear this news, Amanda. Hope you're finding some peace at this difficult time.

You will be amazed at the friends who come out of the woodwork to tell you they experienced the same thing. I'm so sorry this happened to you. Take a break and don't forget your husband. In all my misery, I didn't realize mine was probably hurting as much as me, but I could only feel my pain.

Oh my gosh, Amanda! I have all these tears welling up in my eyes for you. I will seriously pray for you. My sister went through 2 miscarriages. One was just this last year and it really is such a traumatic thing to go through. I pray that your heart heals and that you do feel loved and cared for by family and friends through all of this. xoxo

love and prayers, dee

I'm so sorry to hear that. I never miscarried but my sister-in-law miscarried 3 times and the 3 time was a late miscarriage. It's earth shattering, I know. My heart goes out to you. Chin, up--God loves you and your baby.

I am so sorry for your loss Amanda. We had a miscarraige a few months before we concieved Claire. It was one of the hardest things we have had to deal with. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your husband during this tough time.

Oh Amanda, I am so sad to hear your news. I just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of you. I had a miscarriage at the beginning of the year and everyone kept saying things happen for a reason, but the it was my lovely fella and my gorgeous little boy of 18 months that got me through. As I'm sure your lovely family will get you through. love to you, Ann

I am just so sorry sweetheart, take time to pamper and love yourself, I just went through this myself and it is emotionally draining and sad. Feel better honey and prayers to you and the family.
