I just had my third miscarriage and need someone I can relate to?

Q: I just had my third miscarriage. All of my miscarriages hit me rather hard, but Im taking the latest miscarriage worse. I was told this last miscarriage was a “chemical pregnancy”, meaning I would’ve never known I was even pregnant if I didnt take an early test and the fetus will expell itself during my period. has anyone out there suffered from miscarriages and go on to have a successful pregnancy? If so, what did they say caused your miscarriages……Im just really hurting right now and Im very discouraged. I could use as many positive stories as i can get……I just dont understand how some women can can have a healthy pregnancy and delivery and end up killing, or abusing their children. I know Id make a great mom, it just doesnt seem fair.

A: Even though you have had 3 miscarriages you can still go on to have a healthy baby. I had one last year and am currently pregnant with a healthy baby. You and your husband might want to consider genetic testing and seeing if there are any major chromosomal abnormalities that are causing the pregnancies to end ( this can sometimes be the reason). I’ve known women with 5 miscarriages that now have 2 beautiful kids. Good luck, I hope you get a precious baby one of these days soon.

Am I depressed? I can’t tell if it’s just hormones from pregnancy or real depression.?

Q: Ever since I got pregnant, I have been feeling terrible. It seems like nothing in my life is going right. I just graduated from college and had been accepted to go to graduate school… but then I found out I was pregnant, and I had to change my plans. I was so devastated that I got pregnant, but I decided to keep the baby. I was supposed to go to school, get my doctorate, and then have kids… but sometimes plans change. So I declined my invite to go to school and started looking for a full-time job. However, one trimester later, I suffered a miscarriage. It’s been one week since I had the fetus removed…I just feel so… blah. Most of the time I feel lazy and apathetic… but sometimes I just cry over nothing… I get angry so easily… I find that I start fights with my husband just so I can have a reason to feel this way…I can’t sleep at night… I have no energy to do the things I enjoy… I feel like a failure as a wife and a woman and a student… I feel like a disappointment to all those who supported me, and helped me get into graduate school…Now I just spend my time watching television or laying on the bed trying to sleep.So… am I depressed? Am I just going through some hard times? Is it just the pregnancy hormones working their way out of my system?What should I do?

A: If you are depressed because of your hormones or grief or guilt, that is real depression.The Beck Depression Inventory is a short quiz that will tell you if you are depressed, and if so, by how much. (Scoring is at the bottom of the second page.)http://www.maryreigel.com/media/beckdepression.pdfAnother screening test: http://www.depression-screening.org/Please see a doctor if these say you are depressed. A psychiatrist is more likely to find the best medicine for you than a family physician.

A: Oh my.I am so sorry. I can’t begin to imagine how you must feel, I lost my baby Ruby in January 2009 at 19 weeks pregnant due to pelvic inflamitory disease. I felt like I had been hit by a train.With GBS – they should give you the anti-biotics 6 hours before your baby is born – although you had PROM, were they inducing you or letting you go further into the pregnancy?At work – we don’t like to leave women with PROM (even when GBS isn’t diagnosed) just because of the risk of infection. As you were GBS +ive they really should have induced you straight away. Giving you the anti-biotics in labour.Of course you will want to find out what happened and I wish you lots of luck. I am so sorry for what has happened and of course you are going to be nervous for a future pregnancy – but – I think with the correct treatment, and lots of doctors visits, you will have a healthy baby next time.GBS is so very very common, it really should not affect your next baby.With Jack, was your placenta low? I had the bleeding also – and that’s how I caught infection – through the cervix and past the placenta as it was low and peeling at the edges.With something like this – not having an answer can tear you apart. When I found out there was nothing wrong with Ruby I was devasted – she didn’t need to die.Please speak to your GP about this, anyone in your situation would be terrified. Good luck huni and feel free to email me if you want to talk xxxHere’s a webiste on PROM & GBS… not sure if it is any use to you. http://www.leida.co.il/page.asp?id=85023
