I experienced this when the baby was 15weeks and had induced birth at 16weeks. I feel that I am having bouts of anxiety now and not sure what to do about it. I have not spoken with anyone through the hospital or elsewhere, although my husband has been great support. Any advice??
Thanks
Angelica
So sorry to hear about your loss. You don't mention how long ago you experienced this? Talking about your experience can really help. You could go to your GP and see what is recommended. I believe some hospitals offer miscarriage support groups, which could be very helpful. Or else you can go online to forums such as Babycentre and Mumsnet. The support you find on there and also reading about other peoples experiences can help.
My advice will be to seek some sort of help asap. Keeping things to yourself can just prolong the grieving process. Glad to hear hubby has been so supportive but speaking to an outsider and others who have gone through the same can't be beat.
Thank you so much for your response Melanie. I will check out the forums and speak to my doctor. The avoidance thing doesn't help and I live in Norway where the language barrier leaves me feeling a bit isolated! You're right about needing to talk about it though.
I checked out your homepage, very inspiring to me as I work in a similar field to yourself...thank you and GOOD LUCK with your business!

Hello Angelica
What a difficult time you have had - just awful losing a baby at that stage, just when it should be at its safest.
Dealing with your loss is so important and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) could make all the difference. See what it is all about [url]click here[/url], and to see how it helps with grieving [url]look here [/url]for reports of what has happened to help others. There is a free basic manual to download too. To find a practitioner near you [DLMURL="http://www.aamet.org/practitioner_list.php?bytype=yes&pid=3"]look here[/DLMURL]. EFT should make an enormous difference and allow you to conceive again more easily.
Wishing you all the best

Dear Angelica,
I just wanted to let you know how sorry i was to hear of your awful loss, for you and your husband, he must be feeling very sad too. I would recommend talking about how you feel to whoever you feel comfortable with, be honest and know that whatever you are feeling is quite normal and that it will take you both some time to get over this. It must have been such a shock to you both. My thoughts are with you both at this very difficult time, take care.
With Reiki hugs and blessings to you both,
Jane X
Thank You!
Thank you Jane and Caroline for your thoughts and blessings! And I will check out the EFT. I guess time is a healer...but then there's those little cheeky hormones that like to spice things up now and again! :rolleyes:
Love and light!
