My miscarriage a year ago

I had thee worst miscarriage a year ago. Firstly, I got pregnant at a very stressful time in my life, it was a big 'accident', I didn't want any children with the guy I was with, but most importantly I AM AGAINST ABORTION. I am against abortion, for myself! I would never even consider it no matter what. But last year that all changed. I am still shocked that I even made the appointment to get it done. I was a WRECK. It's amazing how thing can change in desperate times. Anyways, I never did get the abortion, I miscarried naturally, most likely from all the stress. I was about 8 weeks along. I had two children already, and at the time was going through a separation with my husband and wanted to divorce him (divorced now!), i was trying to kick my boyfriend out (who got me pregnant, DONE AND DONE!), also trying to kick my roommate out (DONE!). My life was chaotic! I was surrounded by STRESS! I had a dream one night I started to miscarry, the next day, I did for real. I had to go to the hospital because of the pain I was in. It was quite awful. And I actually could feel intense contractions. It was a horrible time in my life. But now, a year later, I feel a lot stronger! I know myself better, I have gone to hell and back and survived! I LOVE where I am now in my life. It's amazing how life 'teaches' you. Even when you DON'T want to learn. It was the breaking point for me to get on the right track with my life, and to eliminate all my stresses. I often wonder though, if it was a girl or boy....But I'll never know...

It is sad to hear that you miscarried and that you suffered a very stressful time in your life last year. It is wonderful to hear about how you improved your life and are now happy. It is great that you feel stronger and think life has taught you very much. Stress is not a positive thing and so it is lovely to be without that. I am pro-life and would never have an abortion. Two years ago I had the worst time of my life. I was 36 weeks pregnant and I found out my baby would have spina bifida. He was born at home which was stressful to go ahead with and then he spent three weeks in a special care baby unit. He had to have two operations. So finding out I am pregnant again was scary and I kept it a secret for months. People's reactions were strange wondering if this baby also has spina bifida. I am now 31 weeks pregnant and scans have shown I am expecting a healthy baby girl. My son will be two years old next month and he is a happy little toddler. I am happy in my life now.

Hi, jennajen. I am sorry to hear this but i am glad that you have already been through all these. During the pregnancy, women get more emotional than before, the mood swings easily. Therefore, it would be nice if the husbands or boyfriends are considerate and take care of pregnant women. I was pregnant last year and i was still a student. I was so stressed (also because the final exam would be coming soon) and never expected i would have a baby, it's a big "accident" in my life. My husband (at that time he was still my boyfriend) and i was shocked and did not know what would be the next. My mood swing all the time because we always had different views about this pregnancy and the consequences. During my first trimester, we always quarrelled, i felt very sad and had a thought of getting abortion, but i dare not get it done. Well, during that period, i always felt a little contraction while or after quarrelling. Few days after, there was a light bleeding. The next day, i went to see the doctor, luckily the baby was still there. I believe stress and unstable mood will affect pregnant women and of course our baby. That is why pregnant women should be happy during pregnancy. But to be honest, it is really difficult to be happy when something happen like that. Anyway, i'd love to hear that you are fine with you life now. All the best for you and happy mylotting.
