coping with a miscarrige

i had a miscarrige about a week ago. im still trying to get over it but my husband tries to comfort me by telling me it happens to alot of women. but it does not work for me. just because it happens to other women dosent mean it okay. the DR told me what it looks like that it was a blighted ovum. at first i didint think it was normal but the more i read about it the more i understood. i was 7 1/2 weeks pregnant.

Deana590,

I'm so sorry for your loss.  You'll hear alot of "well meaning" words from family and friends that aren't comforting. But, you've come to the right place.  Because we've been there and heard it all - you can come here for support because we share your grief - you're not alone. The women here helped me through mine.  Any miscarriage is devastating - and the pain takes a while to go away. I can tell you that we've all been through dark times and survived them.  And you will too - I know it sounds hard to believe but, you will feel better in time.  We're here for you until you do.

I'm sorry Sweetie...Blighted ovum or not common or not...doesn't really help!!  I totally understand how you feel, I didn't have a blighted ovum I just miscarried  but I imagine it feels just as bad.  It is something that you will probably never get over.  It has been 6 months since I mc'd and I still have some days or tv show that make me think of it and I want to go crawl in my bed and cry.  However, as time goes by it does get easier to cope with the loss.  I know this website helped me tremendously!!!  For me talking about it with the ladies on here..and having someone who knew how I felt made it easier.  My husband tried to console me also....but there are just some things you an't undersatand if you haven't went through it yourself.  Feel free to click on my name and jion our group when you get ready to try again or even now if you just wanna talk.  Baby Dust Buddies:TTC after pregnancy loss
