so much heart ache.

After having a miscarriage at 6+ weeks. I have just got back from a scan confirming a miscarriage but there a small amount of tissue left they offered me medication to help things along l said no because l felt l would be terminating my pregnancy.  Is this daft thought? I am 45 with 4 kids and now two loses. This pregnancy wasn't planned but l still wanted the baby. I feel empty. I don't know if lam sefish to try again l was told not to after 3 c-sections , not sure what l want, so confused and hurt,

Sorry for your loss mama. A friend had a miscarriage and all of the tissue didn't get removed. Now she has to go through chemo because the left over tissue basically became and tumor that could have spread to other organs. It is definitely a tough choice and I understand what you're saying..just make sure you keep and eye on everything to make sure you're healing properly.

I'm sorry to hear this news. I have been in that situation before many times.try to get some restit's never easy to go through that. I also am a foster mom and I thought that it would help me but it hasn't because it's nothing like having your own children.

You should definitely take the medications cause you can end up with a really bad infection and then they'll have to go in and scrape the rest of the tissue out. I've had a miscarriage before and of course you are in right to feeling depressed, but also given your age you should know the chances of you have another healthy baby or carrying to term has greatly depreciated. Moms like you are amazing and if you want to keep raising children I suggest adoption or even fostering children. This will help to fill that yearning and you will also be helping to raise some children in need :) feel better mama!
