Baby's gone  

post #1 of 24
Thread Starter 
Yesterday I lost the mucus plug and started bleeding. Right now I'm numb and still in shock. I can't believe this is happening again. A few days before Christmas I felt that no one was there anymore; that a presence had left and I could no longer connect to the baby. In denial, I told myself that I was just busy right now and that all was fine. The night before, I had trouble sleeping and started telling myself that one child was enough and its really hard to have two and can get really nutty and stressful. Something in my mind (subconscious ?) must have been trying to prepare my conscious mind.

Last time I m/c'ed an herbalist told me to wean and do a detox, suggesting that m/c's can be a result of toxicity. I know my eczema and allergies get better when I use some liver support. Susan Weed's Herbal for the Childbearing Year says that m/c's are due to toxicity - I wonder if this causes chromosonial problems? I just don't think I can wean to do a detox, esp. right now. I can't take another loss and the age of my chidren continually grows apart.

I so sorry. It must be so hard to deal with multiple miscarriages. I hope you can find a way to heal and overcome the problem that's causing them.

So sorry for your loss.

oh NO! I am so sorry, mimi. I saw your post on Nursing Mama's first and just wish I had some comforting words. I'm am deeply saddened to read your news.


I completely understand about not wanting to wean. Were you using herbs to support your liver like milk thistle & dandelion? I think you can do mild candida cleanses while BFing.
Take care of yourself.

Mimi - I'm so sorry, sending lots of healing vibes your way. I also wanted to throw out a piece of information. Many nursing mothers have low progesterone, it can cause miscarriages. It could be helpful for your dr to test your p level at 7dpo and again at 10dpo. It could be that all you need is a p supp. I have low p and really feel the p supps are what's keeping this baby happy and healthy.

Thinking of you...

Mimi,

I am so very sorry for your loss. It's sounds hollow even as I write the words, but truly. . .I know you are devastated.

I was still nursing when we lost our last baby and I have wondered if that played a part in the loss, physically or spiritually. Did something in me know I couldn't handle nursing through a pregnancy and possibly tandem nursing? I remember some of the same feelings of "Can I handle this" and then wondering if my ambivalence contributed. There are no answers, only more questions it seems. Sincerely, you are in my thoughts.

Mimi, I pm'ed you and noticed you had already found the thread I mentioned.
I don't know anything about detoxing, maybe there is some info on the health forums?
I do agree with peilover that it can't hurt to look into the progesterone issue.
Take good care of yourself, mama!

Hugs! I'm so sorry.
I did a detox after my chemical pg and I am nursing (but only 2x a day) and it was considered safe by my 'herbalist' (I did the Thisalyn Cleanse (sp?)) and came up pg within days of ending it. I'm still worried though and I didn't do the detox b/c of the chemical pg - the first part of pg is just so incredibly difficult.

I am so sorry you lost your baby, I wish you healing and peace - that baby will make it into your family.

I'm so sorry, mama.

I don't know that I believe that *anything* causes m/c (other than things like progesterone and things that cause our bodies to reject a pg). I had a terrible missed m/c almost 2 years ago and I don't think it was "toxicity" or anything other than a bum lot from fate. When you think of all that has to happen for a pregnancy to occur physiologically, it's a wonder any of us are here at all. I know none of this helps, I just hope that you don't agonize over what is "causing" it or worry about weaning to do a detox...something I definitely wouldn't do. You have enough on your plate without weaning.

anyway, I'm very very very very sorry and I do hope for a sticky baby for you very very very soon!!!!
