Pregnancy Week 10 Calendar Girl (1 of 26)

BGbebe: She is hurt and you have to realize she is still one of these pregnant woman, and how ever she chooses her words are fine, these are only emotions that will pass, and it is reality you cannot ask her to mask her feeling just to spare others her pain is real and she has every right to express it.

All of your comments are so comforting. I feel blessed to have had two healthy pregnancies/babies, realizing others are not as fortunate. I have just miscarried, between 9 and 10 weeks, and am devistated. I am trying to rely on my faith at this time, but still I am unsure how to cope with this sad, sad situation. My twin sister is pregnant and expecting 8 weeks prior to my "was to be due date of Christmas Day". I am finding some comfort in her pregnancy bliss, but I'm also finding it hard to share in the joy at times as well. I'm trying to strike a balance. Keep up the comments. They truly bring me comfort. Thanks.

I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. I've had two consecutive miscarriages and it's still hard and doubly hard when I hear others who have no problems and give birth with no problems. I'm telling you it's so hard to see other pregnant women especially when I see them every day when I'm out in public, it's gotten to the point where I don't want to go out in public anymore cause I see a baby or other pregnant women. Put your faith in God and pray alot. That's what I've been doing and it helps but every day is hard because I should have a 2 month old baby boy with me and I don't.

Sonia~ Thank you for your supportive words. I'm very sorry about your loss. I can relate to how you may be feeling right now. I wish you tons of luck with TTC again! You know, they say you are most fertile three months after a loss. So get busy and take advantage of this time, which, I’m sure you already are. You will be pregnant again in no time.
As for me, I’m 10w5d now. We saw the baby on the ultrasound at 10 weeks. So far, so good. As of now, my tummy looks like it did in the picture above. I can’t wait to get a prego belly!

Congrats on your news. I lost my baby also, 2 weeks ago today, at 9 weeks 2 days it was my third and I agree with you miscarriage is worse than reading about it or which words they or you call it. I can also understand how emotional you must have been it wasn't a throw away comment. As you say you were "extremely emotional" I am sorry for your loss but very happy for you, I'm looking forward to your new pics. Cross your fingers for me were gonna keep trying wish me luck xx

Bgbebe~ I suppose you are right. Reading back over my words, I can see that I should have sugar coated it a bit better. Unfortunately at the time, I was extremely emotionally (As I had just found out and actually was trying to see if I could delete the picture) and I was not thinking about my offence to others. If I could re-word it, I would. However, I can assure you, going through a miscarriage is far worse then reading about one.

Thank you to those that took the time to share their stories with me. I appreciate your kind words and thoughts. I’m happy to announce that I am now 6 weeks pregnant! I will be posting a picture once I get further along.

Ok why would you even call it "dead fetus"? These are pregnant women and are extremely emotional! I already balled my eyes out from Nicole's post about her baby Jaden dying! Then I oprn this up to see more bad news. Look you didn't carry to term, fine; spare those of us who are very eary still (almost 10 weeks) from the grave news, or perhaps, try and word it a little better. I am sorry for your loss, I truly am, but consider those of us who are already worried about losing our babies.

Bobbie Anne, I'm so sorry you have to go through this. I had to go through 2 miscarriages before I got my little girl, who was 3 in November. I'm now 10 weeks pregnant and every day I pray it doesn't happen again. Stay strong!

Bobbie Anne I am so sorry for your loss. It is felt here, as I too had a miscarriage back in April. I found that there are no words to comfort a woman who has experienced the loss of the baby that was growing inside of her. Unless you have gone through it yourself you truely just dont understand how awful it actually is to go through. I was at 8 weeks, and was devistated I haven't and probably will never get over it. It still saddens me to this day. I am now 9 weeks pregnant and just pray everyday that everything is okay. I also find it hard to get overly excited about this pregnancy for the fear of loss once again. It doesnt get easier but there was a point when I excepted it. I wish you nothing but the best. Especially at this time. Your in my thoughts!

When I was pregnant with my daughter I did not start showing until I was 6 months pregnant! (Your situation most likely had nothing to do with not showing or showing-everyone is different)some women simply take more time than others to produce a belly. During the first 3 months a woman weight gain is mostly WATER and FLUID, along with any prior fatty tissue she may have had prior to pregnancy. By the 12th week of pregnancy the FETUS is only about 2 inches long. (not hardly big enough to fill up a BELLY).

Miscarriages are so unfortunate and sad. My heart goes out to you. the HUMAN BODY is amazing particularly the WOMAN's BODY. Unfortunately when things don't go as planned during the early developmental process, most times-is when MISCARRIAGES take place. God most certainly has BLESSINGS lined up for you in the future.

Oh sweetie I am so sorry

Actually...I'm not pregnant anymore. Well I guess I am, since I have yet to pass the dead fetus. When I took this picture I thought I was 10 weeks, but I was told later that my baby died at nine weeks. So this is actually a nine week belly. So maybe that's why it's so small.
