First I would like to share with you two beautiful poems that were passed on to me from friends who have gone through the same thing. The authors of these poems are unknown to the best of my knowledge. Frequently Asked Questions about Miscarriage I have recently made an attempt at reorganizing the FAQ, by breaking it into sections. One section has words of support, one has technical information, and there are also smaller sections dealing with bleeding, molar pregnancies, and how long to wait before trying again. This brings me to a dilemma.
Every story is different, and each deserves to be told.
Reading other peoples' stories, I know, is one thing that helped me to not feel so alone when I was going through my own miscarriages. Most doctors consider a miscarriage as a protective mechanism that prevents the continued pregnancy of a nonviable or abnormal embryo or fetus. Indeed, most miscarriages occur even before a woman knows she is pregnant and, therefore, go unrecognized. The loss felt as a result of miscarriage, although different for all women, is definite and real. Despite the absence of a physical baby for those around her to mourn, the loss for a woman is concrete.
