This is the first time I've shared publicly about my miscarriage so I'm really nervous that someone will see this. I don't really want to talk about it with anyone other than family and REALLY close friends (which is all of 2). Anyway, it's been one week exactly since my miscarriage and I still can't keep from crying about it...and the thing is that I was only 8 weeks pregnant. I got so attached so quickly to a pregnancy that was an "accident" (even though I call nothing an accident). I just feel like no one understands how I feel or can really say anything to help because no one I know has ever gone through this. I also kind of feel like I don't have a right to be sad because I was only 8 weeks and I shouldn't have gotten attached so quickly especially after the doctors told me I was high risk. I just want to know how to deal with this and what will help...I try putting it out of my mind and it works up until I see a newborn baby or someone starts talking about a baby...any help would be appreciated...thanks!

What you are feeling is completely normal! It doesn't matter how long you carry your baby. It is still your baby. I lost my little boy in Febuary at sixteen weeks. I had to go through a delivery and then a DNC after that. I am having such a hard time, too. People don't know what to say, so they just say nothing. It is such a lonely road to travel.

I know how you feel, I lost my baby at 5 weeks but I didn't find out until I was "10 weeks" that was a week ago and my body still thinks i'm preggy. I still get all the symptoms and what not. It feels like no one understands how I feel, the only one I can talk to is my husband, but he has issues talking. I feel like its my fault even though the dr. said it wasn't. I feel empty, alone and broken with no to help me. My baby may have only been a few weeks old, but I love my baby so much, and I want him/her back. It hurts so bad. Its not fair!! Why my baby! WHY!!!????

Thank you all so much for your responses...time is making it a little easier. I am now able to stop crying so much and focus on my other 2 children more, so things aren't as hopeless anymore...again, thank you and I will pray for all of you and your children.

Losing a baby is the hardest thing I have ever been through. Whether you were 8 weeks or 40 weeks it is never an easy thing to go through. Do not feel like you can't be sad or upset...that is a normal human feeling. I have lost 2 children, first one I lost I was 18 weeks pregnant and I don't know what happened and don't know the gender and my second child to lose was my 4th child and her name is Sarah. I lost Sarah on May 29, 2010 and I was so devastated. I lost her because of a cord accident. I have always been high risk as well because of high blood pressure and other issues. I have 3 beautiful children living and and my youngest was born August 10, 2011. I didn't think I would have anymore after I lost Sarah because I didn't think my body could handle it. God works in mysterious ways and although we may not know why somethings happen to us...they do happen for a reason. I am the only one in my family and my husband's family who has ever lost a child and nobody understood what I was going through. It is so hard when you feel so alone but just know that you are not alone and you have other women here that can relate to your situation. If you ever need someone to talk to you can message me. I am sure you have heard this before but time will make it easier to cope with your loss. You will never forget, but the pain lessens as time goes by. I pray that one day you can find some peace and comfort. I didn't think I would make it my first year without my daughter in my arms. I had two sister in laws pregnant at the same time as me and I didn't have my baby anymore. It was so hard being around them and knowing their baby would be here and mine wouldn't. I understand now that God just had bigger plans for my Sarah. I will keep you in my prayers and just remember that even when you feel alone, you have other moms here to lean on and talk to. This group is amazing and the women in this group are some of the strongest and understand women I have seen. Your angel is playing in Heaven's playground now with all other babies given wings to soon. God bless you and your sweet angel.
