I miscarried on Thursday, and I haven't eaten since. Exercise helps me deal, and ideas on good exercises would be appreciated!!!!! I go to the doctors tomorrow, and will make sure I can exercise before I do anything.

Thanks,
Angie

    Thanks, it's nice to be able to talk to someone other than family. It helps me a whole lot!!!!! I have 2 children already, I have an 8 year old little girl, and a 2 1/2 year old little boy. They are my whole life, and I am just trying to stay up beat, and not let them see me sad. Exercise helps with that, but also talking helps as well. Thank you again for the support.

    I too have been there twice. Give yourself time to recover both emotionally and physically. Definitley wait on an okay from the doctor to begin exercising. Take time to pamper yourself a little right now. Take good care.

    Hi,

    I'm blunt, and your health is at stake. All words are spoken out of love and urgency.

    1. I am sorry about your loss. I too have been there and know the pain it brings. There was a time when I thought I'd never survive a miscarriage. I found out, though, that I really can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Everything happens for a reason.

    2. Do you have anyone to take care of the children for you. You need a break so you can grieve. Exercise is usually healthy, but when it's taking the place of a normal, healthy process, the opposite is true. You need to get this out so you can begin to heal.

    3. Once you begin to heal, you can begin to eat. Unless you're fasting, 3 days without food is not good. You just had a baby. Not full term, but a baby no less. You lost blood. Your body needs to begin to rebuild. Not nourishing it, but demanding more of it through exercise is not healthy.


    I promise: I'm grieving with you. I don't want you to hurt yourself. You still need to take care of you for your other two babies (I call all under 18yrs. babies). This is a part of life that you will recover from, whether you believe it right now or not. Hang in there. Take the time to grieve. From that point, things will start to get better. I promise.

    You are in my prayers.

    Honey, I am so sorry to hear about your loss! We are all here for you! I do agree that you need to wait and see your doctor before exercising. You also need to try to eat something, even if its chicken broth. You need to try to stay strong! Big hugs, and let us know if you need anything at all!!! :heart:

    I agree with blessedmomma... I have been in your shoes and I empathize sincerely.
    I finally went to counseling for it (it's a long involved story). But you need to take some time and heal. And please eat!

    It breaks my heart, as a mother, whenever I hear that someone has had to go through the loss of a child and hopes and dreams.

    It is important for you to listen to your doctor right now. Make sure you keep yourself healthy by eatting and trying to get some sleep. I am not going to recommend any exercise because I am not a dr. and I have not been through a miscarriage so I would not be able to tell you from experience anything good.

    Please take care of yourself.
