@Weber - I'm so sorry you had such a bad experience with your midwife. I know there are both wonderful and awful Ob's and midwives. My Ob wasn't horrible, just very clinical. I must have been very lucky to have found such caring and supportive midwives. @Sarahbeth - you give me hope...I also have a history of long cycles (about 40 days). Today is 4 weeks post loss and am hoping for AF soon so the true ttc can begin! Praying we get a baby train moving soon for us all : )

Hi ladies! Have been having so much trouble with my account here. I have tried to get in every day at work this week and my password won't work. I just figured I would try from my phone and woo hoo I am in. Mrsmlc- I am so sorry! Huge hugs and best wishes. Keep us posted. We are here for you! I just got done with first AF after the D&E. It was exactly 4 weeks after which was shocking because my cycles were super long before. I really hope it won't take long to see another BFP! Hope so much we all get to see those + very soon!! Good luck to all! I will be reading back a few pages to try and catch up now.

@Mrsmlcmom I am still hoping the best for you and my thoughts are very much with you at this time. I couldn't express it earlier because I couldn't get into my accounts the last day and a half.

@happymamajen & nikkipearl I was with a midwife when I miscarried and she was about as cold and technical as they get. I got no support, she told me when I started bleeding that it was out of her jurisdiction and what warning signs to watch for and go to hospital if needed. I had her for my 2 live births and was very very happy but with my m/c really disappointed and not sure if I could go back to her again next time. I even had to remind her I needed rhogam shot and had a difficult time at the hospital when getting my bloodwork done.

Praying for you, MrsMLCMom! Let us know what's going on. I don't think I am giving in more to my daughter since my miscarriages, but I am definitely making our time together more quality and less passive. If I'm doing something when she comes to me, I set it aside more and play with her, give her hugs and kisses, etc., instead of telling her to hang on a second. luvthecork@yahoo.com - I don't have any advice for you, other than maybe to ask in the 15 weeks pregnant forums. This forum is for women who are trying to conceive after having a miscarriage. Many of us are in a lot of emotional pain and aren't really at our best to offer pregnancy advice. Since you aren't tying to conceive, I think the weekly forums are a better place to seek advice. Thanks for stopping by and good luck with your wife's pregnancy!

mrsmlcmom - my thoughts are with you. praying your news is good news!! happymama - i'm totally the same with my dd, she is 2 in june and is really starting to test the limits!! I give in to her so much more since my mc...really trying not to be to soft with her though, it's just so hard, she is so precious to me!

I highly recommend going to a midwife. I posted a blog about my experience with the midwives and my recent loss if you're interested. I was very, very thankful for them. Prayers mrsmlc that everything is ok with your little bean.

Its for reasons like this that I am looking to have care by a Midwife for my next pregnancy. I find the doctors office just treats you like it's nothing, and that miscarriage happens all the time, I too had to beg for a appointment when I was spotting and I was 12 1/2 weeks, then after my miscarriage they didn't even need me to come in for a check up, all they said on the phone was we hope to see you again soon. Not even a sorry for your loss

Thanks ladies, called my doc and actually had to force them to see me (second m/c in 3 months). First the nurse lectured me that I shouldn't take an HPT until cd35, 'to avoid these issues'. I didn't like that advice at all. I got in there and they took my blood, checking fr HCG and progesterone. i will be finding a new doctor and I will be anxiously awaiting the results. i will keep you ladies posted.

abbyh - the spotting has been brown and with intense lower back cramps. Last night the cramps worsened and this morning the color is now red. I did not bd, although I am a very active person. The day the brown spotting started I hadn't done anything very physical.

MrsMLCMom - 23 hours ago.
The bleeding has become more intense and now I think I will be heading to the doctor's office. just feeling so down and afraid.

I used to be weber3, I can't get into my account for some reason so now I'm stillmeweber3 until something else works out.

@happymamajen I totally spoiled my kids after my m/c.

@jellybaby1987 Sorry to hear about your loss, and happy to hear that you are expecting another baby again!! I lost mine in November. Dh wouldn't let me tell my 4 yr old about the loss. Just that we thought there was a baby, now we were wrong and we don't have a baby. It really broke my heart not to tell her the truth. Susprised she didn't ask too many more questions because she's a smart cookie.

We have made it into our 15th week! My wife (32 yr) is super stressed about acne & what she calls cysts in her face - mostly her chin. I tell her it' snormal & her body is changing & stuff but she wants to punch me in the face! haha How can I help her???

Nikki - My DD has been my rock through all this! I'm so, so thankful for her<3 FX AF comes soon for both of us!

nikkipearl - 2 days ago.
Went to the dollar store today and stocked up on pregnancy test, hoping af shows up this week, it's been 4 weeks today since my miscarriage. Having my last glass of wine tonight before TTC

spotting can be very normal in early pregnancy, but I can understand your worry, I pray everything is fine mrsmlcmama. That sucks you had a bad night tencowmommy, I'm so sorry you were upset, still haven't talked to my BFF who was pregnant at the same time as me, I'm just not ready. But I know the day will come. Goodluck chelle, I want to try again right away too but part of me is scared to ever get pregnant again.Jen Im sure I gave into my youngest alot more to, but I don't think I could have got over this if it wasn't for him.

happymama (jen) - 2 days ago.
For those of you with kids, did you find yourself giving into them more after your loss? My DD just turned 21 months and I realized a couple days ago that I've been giving into her requents more, rocking her longer at night (and getting her out of bed to rock her more if she starts crying), etc. I guess I'm trying to overcompensate for the loss.

Congrats, mrsmlcmama! If you don't mind my asking, was the spotting brown? Normally, some brown spotting can be from implantation and that is totally normal. Also, like weber3 said, sex can cause spotting as well. Best of luck to you! AVG2012, I will be testing around the same time as you if my AF doesn't show up first. Good luck! I'm not sure how I'll feel if/when I get pregnant again. I mean, I definitely want to be pregnant - there is not question about that, but I don't think I can handle getting my hopes up and then miscarrying again. Tencowmommy, I completely understand. It's so hard. I wish we could all meet up for lunch or something and know each other for real, because the people in my offline life don't get it like you ladies do. I have a few friends that are pregnant and some who just had babies (hard, since I was supposed to have a little one February 9th). That isn't rally what's bothering me right now. They either don't know or are supportive. It's mostly my stupid co-worker who is super insensitive about it. I do think she got the message, because she hasn't hardly said a word to me in the last couple of days. I think she knows I'm super annoyed with her. This has been the longest week ever for me, and it's not over yet. Plus, I still have a whole week after this that I have to work with her - it's killing me!
