I had a miscarriage in 2005 and havent ever got over it as i have no way of remembering my little girl i know i should be over this now thats why i am scared to go to the doctors because i will look like a total idiot!

Answers:
Go to your doctor you will not look like a idiot did you name your little girl mine was called Charlie you will always remember her in your heart, if your family do not recognise what happened tell them you mean when I lost my baby no use hiding it under the carpet if it is in the open and you can talk about it you will start to accept it and start feeling better if you are stressed low and tired it will not help you conceive so see your doctor and have a chat with them they will help good luck x
You won't look like an idiot going to the doctors, but they do tend to be pretty useless and yes, I'd say you were definitely depressed. You shouldn't be ashamed of it or anything, you've had a terrible trauma and the mind needs time to heal from these things. I had a really stressful couple of years from 2005 to 2006 and I still haven't gotten over it and I didn't go through anything nearly as bad as you have. Just try and talk to people you can trust and if you don't feel like talking to friends and family, call the Samaritans because the doctors will just try to fob you off. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon.
oh darling, its completely normal to feel this way. i had a miscarriage when i was 19, ever since i was a little girl all i ever wanted was a baby and always had this awful feeling that i wouldnt beable to, so when i miscarried i felt like this feeling was confirmed. i felt so depressed for a very long time, so depressed infact that i couldnt bare trying again. Until last yr, and i conceived and had a very beautiful baby boy. I think the reason you probably arnt conceiving is because you are depressed. If you go to your doctor and get depression tablets this could also lower your chances of conceiving. I know its hard but try and get over it first then start trying again.
I am so sorry to hear that. I think you are suffering from depression as I felt the same way after something bad happened to me and it took me two years to except that I had a problem and dealt with it through counselling. I recently went through an EMA which I felt totally pushed into and I wonder to myself why I haven't grieved. I should have been crying and grieving but instead I am doing silly things with my life. No matter how hard I try the tears just won't come and I think that is how bad it has affected me. Please go to the doctor they will respect you for seeking help and advice. Please sweetie you don't have to be alone. Good luck xxxx
Go to the Doctor and talk everything through with him - he/she will certainly not think you are an idiot - there is no time limit to getting over a miscarriage - the pain does get easier over the years but you will never forget it - the Doctor may give you some tablets for a short term or he may advise you the best way to cope with the way you are feeling. Do not be scared Doctors are there to help in situations like this
You have a right to be depressed from the loss of your child. but you can get help. Most ppl don't understand that a miscarriage is a lose of a baby. Go to your Doctor you can get so meds to help. You can find a way to remember your little girl do something to help others in her memmery.
no ur not a total idiot ur just human the same as the rest of us.
of course u feel low after losing baby thats normal it doesnt mean to say ur not a woman.
remember millions of other women can and do lose babies, unfortunately this is life.
get out more. go out on the town enjoy life..take a holiday with ur mates..no point in gettin depressed lifes too short.
you must put all that behind you because the next baby u have will be completely normal.
Please don't be so hard on yourself. Having a miscarriage is a major issue. It has been a long time for you to mourn your loss but, it is something you need to deal with. It's hard for you because you were looking forward to having a problem-free pregnancy and you ended up losing out. People don't always know about it so they can't express their sympathy or they don't know what to say when they do know. Your loss is very personal and it is normal to feel low after a loss such as this. I think you need to go to the doctor and get a thorough check-up; tell him how you are feeling and he will be able to offer assistance to you. He will not make you feel like an idiot because you are not being one. You might be having issues with anemia, also. Often the doctors will do a blood evaluation and will find out the reason for the miscarriage and can correct it with vitamins or some other treatment. Don't be afraid; just go and help yourself by doing this. Remember this fact; many, many women go through miscarriages and then go on to have healthy, happy babies. Having one miscarriage does not mean that you will have more. Having tests done can determine what may have happened in the first place and when you have answers, you can go on and feel more positive about your future. I am sorry for your loss. I know it isn't easy. Sending you a prayer for better days ahead!!

Sweetie, I had a miscarriage, last year, I couldn't stop crying, was that messed up that I didn't see a car coming towards me & got hit, making a mess of my knee. I had a split from my boyfriend who got married to his so called 'ex' behind my back during our absence from one another. I was in pieces, so if you ever need a shoulder to cry on, my e-mail address is: angelstarjrw29@hotmail.co.uk. Believe me, honey, I understand, you're not an idiot, I'm still cying over everything, as I never told my ex he could have had a child, I never had the guts as he was a depressant & I was afraid of sending him over the edge. Not remembering is just the body's way to relieve the hurt.(I named mine Angel, as that's what he/she is, now & I have a thing about Angels.) Good luck.xxx
You poor chikkie, I wish I could just hug you and tell you everything will be ok. You sound so sad. Make an appointment with the practice nurse if your'e scared of the doctor. The practice nurses are kind and they listen and if they are worried about you they will refer you to the doctor and will explain your story before you see the doc. Trust me I know.xx look after yourself.
