I miscarriaged a few months ago but about a month ago finally had a D and C since my body couldn't do it on its own. I had very similar feelings to yours-the lack of desire, the guilt after miscarrying and the mourning what might have been but I so admire your faith to move forward. You are truly an inspiration to me!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04983840137544609386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213499219669709454.post-26283364614190925512013-10-28T22:32:14.670-07:002013-10-28T22:32:14.670-07:00I just have to tell you how much I loved this post...I just have to tell you how much I loved this post. I think you are amazing and just love you. I'm so thankful that we get to "virtually" walk through this life together. It was in the stars. :) Thank you for sharing your journey and good luck as it continues.

Just know that you are not alone. Desire for a baby has been a topic of major upheaval in my life this year... and it didn't stop when I got pregnant. As I've rolled into my second trimester I've landed in the "content with what is" phase... but that's not the same as desire.<br /><br />Wish I could hug you.

I completely hear you! While I ha...Oh sweet friend. I completely hear you! While I have never miscarried, I remember the PURE GUILT I felt when I found out I was 9 weeks pregnant and had a 5 month old AND had a 2 year old already. I knew it was horrible to wish, but I really hoped that maybe, just maybe I would miscarry. The concept of another baby seemed completely overwhelming. But over time--literally, not until a few days before he was born, did I finally accept that I was going to have a baby like it or not. :) Brandon have me a blessing and in it he said I would look back someday and KNOW why it happened. I haven't ever been able to pinpoint an exact reason, but I feel it--I know it--and I cannot imagine life without little Spencer.<br />We too were in the "no babies during residency" club...it seemed too much. And getting the DISTINCT and pressing prompting that we could not ignore was a real eye opener. To give up such comfort and a situation we are used to now, seemed like following blindly. And even still, I live in fear--that I will miscarry, since I never ever have before and it seems the odds should not work that way. I live in fear that life will crumble as we prepare to move only weeks after having this baby, hoping in the process of it all we will be able to sell our house and find a job and have the pieces fall into place. And i fear that with everything going on, I will somehow sink into a world of postpartum depression. But when you have those little glimmers--those moments of seeing a bigger picture to life than any logical sense of thinking, those to me are the blessings from God...the chance to see things as He does. <br /><br />And despite the logical phrase of "no more kids right now", I also firmly believe that if you will follow those glimpses, however trying they may be, God will allow you to be part of far greater happiness than you could ever plan for yourself.<br /><br />I am so sorry for your struggles and the difficulty that has taken place. You have such amazing strength and faith, and I hope you know how much I admire you.

In fact I appreciate your honesty because it makes me feel more "normal" or not so alone, anyway. I never feel that "connection" right away in my pregnancies, and when/if I do I feel like it is forced or I'm faking it, but the moment I hold them in my arms I think "that whole nine months was worth it" ya know? Also I wrote of my miscarriage back in 2008. It was awful and I "miscarried" for three months and had 2 D&C's, it was awful, but I never felt as though I morned the loss of the pregnancy but just morned that the end result wasn't going to happen, if that makes sense? AND I felt guilt about it. I felt guilt that I wasn't reacting like everyone else thought I should. I felt like people thought I should be more upset and yet I didn't feel the need to have that sense of loss or sorrow in the same way as they did (or thought I should), it was weird and I hid it all inside (probably not a good thing to do) so thanks for sharing because I feel more normal and not so alone.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04112127488898381218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213499219669709454.post-76715858830054512782013-10-24T10:44:25.443-07:002013-10-24T10:44:25.443-07:00Dang, girl. ♥♥♥ I love you.
