I am very very depress right now. I lost my baby. I really cannot accept that this is happening to me. I really wanted that baby and I was being very careful about my pregnancy.. huhuhuhuhuhu I just got out from the hospital and still I cannot accept it. My boyfriend doesn't know yet. He was very excited that I got pregnant and we had many plans about our baby and US. The day after I spoke with him, I had a miscarriage.. We were very happy when we were talking on the phone.. And right now I can't contact him coz they don't signal since he is working at sea. What am I gonna do? I am so depress. I don't know how to tell him. I hope our relationship will still be OK...

hello, chicgale, I'm sorry to hear that.. but telling the truth is the best. I'm sure your boyfriend will understand and nothing happen with your relationship. I know it's very hurt to loose your baby, but believe, it may be the best thing right now, because God will give you another try in better situation. you have to calm down and stay strong. first pregnancy is often hard for every woman

This is not my first pregnancy. I have a baby already from my ex and the baby that I lost was my boyfriend's first baby.

Yes, I am very disappointed about it since we were very happy and excited about that baby. I am very depress right now coz I am alone and my boyfriend is far from me. I still didn't hear from him and probably won't hear from him until next week.

Unless you can fake a baby, I guess you're gonna have to tell him. I'm sorry for your loss but if you're planning to lie to him, this will be very difficult to pull off. There's this thing called staging. It's where you lead him on to the bad news by carefully saying bits and pieces of information of that bad news. This usually works with irate customers. I don't know if it will also work in this type of situation.

sorry about your loss. My daughter loss her child , stilborn and she hurted for many days so did we all. This has been a few years back.. I prayed about it and did not understand. I learned Jesus Loves all the little children . I learned we did not have all the answers why things happen the way they do. I know in time there will be more children. she now has another child..I guess what I am trying to say. you are loved and always will be. it takes time and you will be healed..pray about this and I do not know about if you are a christain or not but try prayer anyway..talk to some pastor , talk to a christain, talk to God yourself he will help you through this, talk to Him just like anyone else you talk to ..He will send someone your way...Your boyfriend will understand , He needs to know.. tell Him in a kind way..the love between you both should be strong to help one another..get married, make plans , then think about if you want more children and afford a child..then talk to a doctor about this also.. it is good you are talking to others it does help and do not keep by yourself share your thoughts alot of friends are here to help you through..

Thank you so much for telling me this. I keep praying everyday why this happens. I know God has a plan and a purpose, but still I don't know yet. I am very very depress right now specially that I am alone. I don't have anybody to talk to and I am still grieving. I am trying to move on and I really want to accept the truth that I am not pregnant anymore but still I can't move on for now. I know I will accept this thing in time.

I am very sorry that you have lost your baby in a miscarriage. I know it feels heat braking and devastating to you. You were being so healthy in your pregnancy so this has come as a shock to you. I understand how depressed you feel and that it must be awfully upsetting to lose a baby in a pregnancy. I hope you boyfriend will stay with you and be loving towards you. I think that you need his love and care. It is unfortunate that your boyfriend is at sea working. I haven't ever had a miscarriage however a friend of mine did so. Her boyfriend said when she had the miscarriage he didn't need to marry her then. I don't think he really meant that but at the time he was feeling sad. They did get married and have now got two delightful daughters. Another friend's sister had a still born daughter. That was very upsetting for everyone. She went on to have two sons. Good luck. Take care.

Thank you maxima. I am still very depressed right now. This is very disappointing and very upsetting. Yes, I was very shocked and couldn't really believed that it happened to me coz when I found out that I was pregnant, I was very very happy, and now, God took it from me. I know He has plans for me and that baby is not really for me. But I still cannot accept it. I am very very sad.

Sorry to hear this but please don't blame yourself. I am sure your boyfriend will understand. It's not your fault and you never want it to happen as well. Take care of yourself and don't be so stressed...

I am sure he's also depressed by this time and that could be the reason why he choose to be silent. He will come to realize about everything especially that his mom knows it all.

I am very stressed and depressed right now. He called me two nights ago but our conversations lasted only 2 minutes and he didn't call back. I sent him a lot of text messages and explained to him how I felt and how it happened and what the doctor said. I never received any responds from him. When I told him that when I was spotting, and the doctor asked another ultrasound, and the result that the baby wasn't there anymore. He said, "it's not true that you were pregnant?" and we got cut off. So, I assumed I fooled him. I am just hoping that he received all my text messages and I am hoping that he will call his mom coz his mom visited at the hospital twice and she was very worried of me having a miscarriage.

I hope so. I hope he is not mad at me and I hope he believed me. I am a little bit worried about him. I keep praying that he will txt me and tell me about what he felt. If he don't want me to bother him for now, I hope he will tell me.

Hello, Chicgale! I am o sorry for your lost. I know that nothing could really make you feel better but I do hope that you will be able to accept what has happened and not be bitter about it. Just be as honest as you can to your boyfriend. You didn't want it to happen. I am sure he would understand.

I am sorry to hear about that. I know nothing will comfort you in your current situation. Right now what you need more i cling to our God. He can give you the comfort that you are seeking. Speak to Him through prayers and give Him everything that you are feeling right now. As for your boyfriend, I still think that you will still be okay. He will still love you and he will give you comfort so don't be afraid to tell him. Again I am sorry and I hope you;ll get over it soon. You will be part of my prayer.

Thank you so much. I know God has a better plan for me and my boyfriend. But, I still can't accept it coz I know the baby was in my womb and I was carrying it for more than 2 months.

I'm very sorry for your loss Chicgale. You are grieving your loss and that is natural. You will probably continue to grieve for some time. You can't accept it, because you wanted this baby so much. I know what you are feeling. I have list a baby before and I had an empty spot in my heart for many years. I did accept it but that didn't make the pain ant less hurtful. My daughter list 3 babies. She lost her first one in the first trimester. The next two were born premature and one lived 12 hours and the other lived 3 months and 2 days. She still feels that loss, but she has learned to accept her loss over time. It does get better. It took me years but I did get better where I don't think about it. I'm 62 years old and I still think if my baby from time to time. I think about her (I thought if it as a her) being 41 now if she had been born. Allow yourself some time. Feel your feelings. Talk about your feelings with someone you trust. Maybe even write your feelings in a journal. I journal quite a bit. Hope you will feel better soon. Again, I am very sorry for your loss.

Yes, I really wanted that baby so much coz when I found out that I got pregnant, I was very very happy that finally I got pregnant from the man I really love, but then God took it away from me. I know it will take time for me to move on and accept it. I am very depress right now. I am trying to move on and I wanna accept it that it happened already, but I can't help it. I am very down right now.

Hi! Here's a hug---and maybe another? Box of tissues--check! I am so sorry you lost your little bundle as I remember going through those feelings/expectations. I didn't miscarry but I am a mother. Anyway, do try to tell your boyfriend when you've calmed down enough to keep your emotions in check and that MAY help him to do the same. Can you tell him how it happened? When you are both ready, do ask your dr. what you can do to increase your chances and just go from there. In the meantime, try to keep yourself reasonably busy so you can keep the depression at bay. As I too suffer from mild depression, just doing a couple things does lift the spirits even if it's just thinning out the wardrobe for a charity, sifting through some piles, starting a new class to develop a hobby, etc. Your friends will give you credit for it and you'll feel better too. Hang in there!

i guess your daughter is very sad, too. if you've been very careful and seeing your doctor regularly and following orders, then please don't blame yourself anymore. if the ob-gyne did not tell you that your baby is at risk and you have to go on bed reset, then i don't think there's any way you could predict it or stop it from happening. maybe it just wasn't meant to be. maybe you need more time to get to really know each other because everything happened too fast and too soon. being away from each other and losing the baby, all these things may be challenges to see just how much your really mean to each other and if you really want to make your relationship last. he deserves to know the truth so the next time you get to talk to him, tell him at once.

I wish you relationship will still be alright, and hope you may get over this sadness and move on. Be strong... There will still be another day, which means there will still be an opportunity for you both to have a baby again. Take care since you just had a miscarriage. You need to replenishment the vitamins your body requires.

Hi there chicgale, I am so sorry to hear about what has happened. Let us always know that everything happens for a reason. We know it is really a tough time for you and your BF, but hold on to each other and always know that you still have got each other. talk to him, tell him about what has happened and it is not only your problem and you do not need to go through this on your own. I would not worry about your relationship because if you do love each other, i am sure you both will get through this stronger and with more love for each other. I will pray for your quick recovery.

Dear chicgale, do not feel bad ... rest and take care of yourself. You must keep yourself healthy and God will bless you with another baby soon. I knew the feeling as I have an ectopic pregnancy before and I nearly lost my life too. God later blessed me with a son and I thank God that He gives me a family and a chance to be a mum. I believe you will be good too. Don't cry and I knew your boyfriend will understand how much you love your baby too. You have done your best. Take care!

dear chicgale, i am really sorry for what happened to you. but do not worry, find some company for a while and inform your boy friend as soon as you can. he too will be disappointed in the beggining but will slowly get on the board and be there with you to support you. you need rest and good food. never quite food, you need to keep up your strength. you can try for more babies in future when you boy friend comes back. stay calm. this sadness does not last forever. get well soon... do not loose hope.....
