Healing From Multiple Miscarriages

The dream of having a child seems to be skewed for some people. They want nothing more than to have a child of their own and they either can not get pregnant or they have multiple miscarriages. They may become depressed and resent the pregnant teenagers they see or the women with so many kids they simply can not care for them properly. Miscarriages are hard on the body, but they are also hard on the spirit. If you want want a family but your quest to have a baby is blocked with multiple and heartbreaking miscarriages, make sure you are taking care of yourself whether you choose to continue to try or if you feel that you must stop.

Having multiple miscarriages is heartbreaking, but does not mean that someone can not go on to have a full and healthy pregnancy. It may mean, however, that there is a medical issue that needs to be addressed. One miscarriage is not that uncommon, but two or more in a row can signal that something is wrong. The problems that women have that cause multiple miscarriage range from severe to small, but a doctor should be consulted to find out just what that problem might be and what can be done to reverse it.

The medical reason for multiple miscarriages can be an emotional issue as well. When you have been trying to have a baby for so long and can not carry a baby to term, you wonder if something is wrong with you. It almost makes you feel as if you are failing at the one thing your body was designed to do. That is not a good feeling to carry around with you and you have to deal with it. When you discover what the problem might be, and you hear that there could be hope, you have to take that good feeling with you and try to overcome feeling that your body has failed you.

Another emotional aspect of multiple miscarriages would be that you feel you are letting your spouse down. Most men are more than understanding and they want to help you feel better. Make time to talk about how you feel with your spouse, and ask them how they are feeling. Men often hold in how they feel in order to take care of a wife grieving at the loss of a pregnancy. If you get him to talk, he can then feel better and really be supportive of you as you both choose where you want to go next in your quest to have children. If you don't talk it out, it could take a toll on your marriage.

Having multiple miscarriages does not mean you can not have a baby. There are many, many women out there that have had this problem that have gone on to have a baby or two or three. You have to take some of the pressure off of yourself, as stress is not good for the process. Some women have conceived and given birth after totally giving up on the idea because of the pain of multiple miscarriages. Your doctor will give you instructions to care for your body physically after a miscarriage, but make sure you take care of yourself mentally as well. It could make all the difference.
