Hi, I joined a while ago and really enjoyed it here. Then I found out I was pregnant - it was a surprise but a very happy one! I stopped coming here while I researched a healthy diet plan for my pregnancy and I bought some great pre-natal work out DVDs. Sadly, at 8 weeks pregnant I collapsed and went to the hospital. They found that the baby was ectopic and my tube had ruptured so I had surgery to remove it. That was 5 weeks ago and I feel physically recovered from the surgery enough to get back in the game again. I need to focus on something other than my loss - which has devastated me. I am going to need a lot of support, so please bear with me and if you have been in a similar situation I'd love to hear from you.

So sorry to hear about your loss! I used to be a neo-natal Social Worker and have seen this a few times. It is devastating. Everyone heals emotionally on their own time, so don't worry if you're still grieving. Good luck!0

Wow, it is very painful. I completely understand you, mine was discovered on time but they removed my left ovary.
I have read alot on this and still get teary once in a while, but thank God i have one boy who turns 13 today and I love him very much.
I have decided to focus on getting healthy, and focusing on me. I wish you the strength and courage to be able to move on, I know it is hard.
Hope I can be supportive, feel free to add me.0 -
So sorry. Welcome back. Good luck to you on your journey.0

I am so sorry for you loss. I lost a baby at 10 week, it had stopped growing at 4 weeks. It was hard for a bit, wondering what I did wrong. Luckily my doctor was amazing and helped us through this time. I physically recovered quickly, emotionally and mentally took a bit longer.
Welcome back! Feel free to friend me if you want.0 -
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I cannot say I have walked in your shoes, but I do know the fear and devastation from learning that what was thought to be a healthy pregnancy wasn't the case. We found out our little on had a genetic disorder and a less than 1% chance of survival. She did survive, and is healthy but the entire pregnancy was spent with the counselor in our head saying "you're going to miscarry". Still, that's nothing compared to what you've been through. Feel free to friend me though if you'd like a little extra support. God bless.0

I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a baby is difficult, losing your tube just adds insult to a painful injury. I have had a couple of miscarriages and have lost an ovary/tube as well, so I can empathize....but I would say dare to HOPE! Work on being the best you that you can be now. We are all here to support you and watch your success!0

So sorry to read your post.
We are so glad to have you back!!
You have a wonderful positive attitude and that speaks volumes! :happy:0 -
I am so sorry for your loss. I was pregnant back in November. I was 12 weeks pregnant and I went into full on labor. (who goes into labor at 12 weeks?) I lost my baby the day before thanksgiving
After I recovered I joined a gym and started working on ME. Best thing i have ever done. I am now 51lbs down.
Feel free to add me as a friend. Again I am so sorry for your loss.

So sorry for your loss! I also lost a baby in January that was a surprise....but not unwanted. It was not ectopic, so there was no surgery involved. But I had just started to get used to the idea of a 3rd baby when I miscarried. Its kind of what motivated me to get my butt in shape, the thought of gaining more baby weight on top of what I had not lost. Best of luck, and welcome back!0

Aww...........your story breaks my heart. My husband and I tried for years to conceive. I had my first miscarriage when I was 5 weeks along. I then became pregnant again and found out on the anniversary of my last miscarriage that I had a blighted ovum. I was 8 weeks along and went in for a DNC the next day. My doctor suggested I have chromosomal testing done to determine why I was miscarrying. I later found out that it was just a fluke and there was nothing wrong with me. I also found out that my 2nd baby was a little girl. I was completely depressed for the longest time. Eventually I made myself get back into working out and feeling better about myself. My husband and I went on vacation in March of 2009 and when we came home I found out I was pregnant. I was scared to death to have another miscarriage. I had to go to the doctors a couple times a week to have my hcg levels tested and was put on prometrium. I ended up having a big baby boy at 40 weeks, weighing 9.7 lbs. He is my main reason for getting back into shape and living a healthier lifestyle. Best of luck to you!0
