I miscarried four years ago and I still feel guilty and depressed about it every day. I’m begining to think it’s time to get help. I have two other children to think abotu and I still think abotu the one I lost. It has gotten to the point where I get aggitated easily, I have trouble sleeping, and I feel that because I lost a child, I don’t deserve the two children I do have. Another thing, after I had my youngest I had severe Post Partum Depression. I stopped taking my meds cold turkey when she was abotu 9 months old. She’ll be two next month. I’m wondering if I could still be suffering from PPD or if it’s deeper than that. I know I need to get back to the doctor and I will as soon as possible. I just wanted to get some opinions first.

I had a miscarriage in July and have been ttc since all the bleeding stopped, but what can I do to overcome depression after I dont see the postive line on hpt? thanks

I had a missed miscarriage at 8/12 weeks, 7 weeks ago. I am getting married in three months and my husband to be constantly talks about the wedding night and how we will try for a baby , I have nearly lost all the weight I gained and my wedding ring wont fit and I said lets get it altered and he said no cos you will be pregnant before you know it. To be honest I am totally put off pregnancy the thought makes me feel sick. they found no heartbeat and I had to be given pills in hospital and I saw everything and the pain was horrendous. I cant imagine ever wanting to try again because I dont want to go through that again and all the worry but it did not happen to him and he wants a kid straight away. how can I tell him and will I get over my fear of miscarriage? I would love to have a kid but I am so scared of it and I said I dont even want a scan untiI I can feel it move everyday but right now I cant see me wanting any children – well I got a son from a previous relationship and he wants one of his own. Pregnancy before this was a happy time but not now pregnancy now to me means sadness and misery and tears and worry I cant move on I dont think. My mother told me to get some help but why I go to work everyday where I work with y1 children I adore my job to bits.

I am 17 weeks and 3 days pregnant. My baby is doing fine. My blood test, placenta very thing is normal. Had NT scan , came out to be normal. But i always fear for miscarriage. How to come out of this depression. please help.

My wife lost our baby after 3 months and had to have a DNC to remove the baby. This was about 4 days ago. She is now feeling very depressed and sad. She called me at work crying because she had a dream with the baby. How do i try to make her feel better?

It’s been over a year now, June 23, 2005 to be exact that I lost my Cayden to a miscarriage. I used to be so happy before the pregnancy, I could bounce back from pretty much anything. Recently, I’ve began to notice that I’m not that happy person anymore. I’m tired, grumpy, feel like crying a lot (which I never did before), and worst of all, I feel like my 11 year old daughter is being deprived of her once happy mother (this thought alone puts tears in my eyes). Very recently I spoke to a friend who said she was going through the same thing, after having a miscarriage two years ago. She went to her doctor who told her she was having symptoms of depression. She is now on meds, and says she is doing much better. What I am wondering is if anyone else has experienced this feeling after miscarriage, and if so, has taken meds for depression with similar results. Will I be able to find that happy woman once again, or will losing my son continue to have this tremendous affect on my life.

I have taken like 4 pregnancy tests and they are all negative so I don’t feel like its going to happen.

I usually have a very regular period. This month its late. Why is that? Did that happen to you>

This month we are going to do the IUI. So for the next few weeks I want to diet like crazy (I am overweight) to see if I can get some of this weight off and maybe that will help.

Anyways, thank you for letting me vent. My sleeping husband here besdie me has no idea the sadness I feel. But, I know you guys do.

******If you do not have any advice or have never had an abortion, you can disregard this question now. I’m not looking for mean answers. Thanks******

I had an abortion 2.5 years ago and I am STILL suffering horribly from the depression. I recently told myself I would seek medical help. I was only a tad over a month a long, but the abortion was decided upon due to medical risk..of a very much wanted baby that I could afford..and that was made with love, with my sweetheart. So I know we are all different..and perhaps that it was why it was very traumatic for me. The procedure/clinic was also a bad experience just because of a lot of things I saw and heard. They don’t treat you nice either..so perhaps that was just my luck.

I struggle with the depression every single day of my life and have not been the same since. It bothers me a lot because I have always believed in God and promised him, at 13, to never have an abortion…and have sex before marriage. It was something I did on my own..my parents weren’t that religious..boy did I not know any better. The sex thing lasted until about 18..and I didn’t get married…then this. It tears my heart apart. It was my first pregnancy. For those who had depression/etc. after an abortion…did it ever heal, go away..or have you since resolved it with a certain measure?
