Hi,
This is my first time here. My first pregnancy just ended in miscarriage at 5.5 weeks. We did have one very, very happy week of being pregnant & telling friends & family, but now I am devastated by the loss of my hoped for first baby, who was supposed to have been born in May. I know when it happens this early there is probably a reason, but I really thought this was meant to be--my whole family has been so excited, my partner & I were already talking to our baby & making plans, and grandma to be had written letters to the baby already. I can't believe all this has ended! I'm grateful that we weren't pregnant longer and that I seem to be healthy and able to get pregnant easily.
So many questions-how to mark this event- what rituals have others done? When to start trying again? How to get the strength to try again? How to recover?
Thanks in advance to all the wise & supportive women on these boards,
Jesse
