my_story = When I was 33 almost 34 I got pregnant with my 4th child.
My previous 3 were from my first husband. I found out that I was pregnant in March 1993, through a blood test that also confirmed my urinary tract infection.
I had real bad back pains from the infection. If I hadn't asked for the blood test I may have never even known that I was pregnant at all.
I had 2 weeks of loving this feeling of another baby. My doctor said that I had to take the medicine for the infecton or I could even lose my life.He said that it could cause miscarriage, he wasn't for sure. So I decided I better take it.
2 weeks later I got up one morning with spotting of light pink blood. I remember saying OH NO, NO not my baby!!
It was a hunch that it was soon to be over with. I felt incrediable numbness. About 6 hours laters I started bleeding more heavily with black blood, I was horrified! I will never forget it. On April 24th, 1993 I lost my baby in the bathroom.I was aprox.5 weeks along.
I have had some people say "Well it wasn't even a real baby yet!
Well my wee one was a baby, MY BABY and she has come to me in my dreams saying that it wasn't meant for her to be here and that I will be with her one day!
its been over 6 yrs now but it still hurts. I did get pregnant 2 months after my miscarriage and had a healthy 8 lb boy. March 14,1994.
I love him but he cannot replace his sister.
I know I will see her again and that helps my pain mostly.
Thanks-

my_story = I have two children, Aaron (5) and Johanna (2) my husband and I finally agreed it was time to have our third and final child.
I found out I was pregnant in June, my due date was February 28, 2001. I was so happy. It is so strange, I was finally relaxed and ready for this pregnancy.
I wasn't afraid of what could go wrong until about my 4th week. From that moment until I delivered my son at 19 1/2 weeks I knew something was wrong.
I thought he was going to have some sort of disability. When all of my tests came back perfect I figured I was being a paranoid mom. I never even knew it was a possibility I could lose this little life inside of me.
I was prepared for almost everything else except a miscarriage. It is something no mother can prepare for.
It is now 5 1/2 weeks since Ezrah was born and I believe it is this website and the people I met that have helped me see my light at the end of this dark tunnel.
Thank you.

my_story = I have experienced two losses within the past year.
My first baby was miscarried at 10 1/2 weeks, a blighted ovum, on October 26, 1999. We lost our second in July of 2000 at 8 weeks.
My husband and I have been devistated by these losses. We have just discovered that I have some blood problems that were probably the cause of the miscarriages.
We will try again this month, would love to have support.

my_story = Husband - Bruce, Son - Aaron(5), Daughter - Johanna(2), Son - Ezrah born October 8 2000 at 19 1/2 weeks lived only moments.
I am 32 years old and my first two pregnancies were text book. Upon concieving I knew this pregnancy was different I just did not know what.
All of my test came back perfect, even the ulta aound done the day before I miscarried. I always assumed my feeling had something to do with the health of my baby, not that I was going to lose him. Life prepares you in some way for birth defects, but it does not prepare you for loss. I miss my baby so much and in three short weeks have learned that only people who have experience the same type of loss can understand.
My prayers and thoughts are with all who have lost their babies. I would love to hear from everyone. I have found that sharing with others has been the best medicine.

my_story = We lost our second child today, Oct. 19, 2000.
We have a beautiful 15 month old little girl named Elizabeth who was conceived through a lot of fertility medications and procedures, so imagine my surprise when I found out I was pregnant and it happend the "old fashioned way".
My husband and I were ecstatic. We giggled all day like two little kids. But within three days of finding out, I had this horrible feeling that something just wasn't right. Two days later, still having the feeling, I took a 4th pregnancy test and the result was a barely visible positive.
Two hours later I started bleeding. The next morning I went for an ultrasound and found that the pregnancy sack was already gone.
I was 6 weeks pregnant.
