• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

How are you remembering your loss?

Awww goodness I pray for you to in that you guys will have a healthy pregnancy!

What is so weird is how I try to block it out like it never happened so I won't be all sad. Does anyone else do that?
Yeah, I feel the same. I feel like the only times I feel better is when I deliberately ignore it. It's very hard.

I am in tears over this board.. My 1st pregnancy was in 02 and it was very difficult..I have a bear that I keep to remind me that he/she is in heaven with our Lord and savior.. I have a son now but man its still difficult to think about, I was depressed and very upset over the loss and I was scared when I carried my son for fear would repeat.. I thank God for all of you who gone through this.. Not many mention it and it breaks my heart to see no true support for loss no matter how major/minor it was its a loss of a life and a true angel.. God bless you all ladies..

I had a m/c on Dec 12 of 06. The only thing I have to remember is the hospital braclets they have you wear when you go in there. I think of the baby I would have had when i see those braclets, its still saddens me.

Sorry to everyone that has experienced a loss of a child, praying for you all.

We had a miscarriage and two ectopic pregnancies in between our first and second child, we never thought it would happen to us. We bought some figures from the willow tree collection, One of them shows an angel with a child in its arms, we liked it, its not too twee or fussy but it is well done.

Probably took her about six months to recover physically, but it took her probably longer to get over the worry that having only one fallopian tube was going to reduce our chances of having another child. The second ectopic was strange because the egg implanted itself on the remains of the tube that had been removed. After that we found it extremely nerve wracking when we were pregnant with our second child. One thing it did do for us was help us relate to another couple in our church who had been through a similar experience. Her ectopic was worse though as it ruptured and she ended up in intensive care for a while.

Goodness, what happened with the 2nd pregnancy? I have never heard of that happening?
The consultant took a photograph of where the egg had inplanted before dealing with it. So I guess the consultant found it fairly unexpected to. After the second ectopic it seemed like we were never going to have a second child.
