Hi Ramya,
Thank you for your brave posting, and for being here on EmpowHer. I went through a miscarriage with my first pregnancy also. I know how horrible and surreal an experience it is. Like Alison said, "a million different emotions...frustration...sadness...". I think she's got the advice covered, I agree with everything she's told you, but wanted to add that you are not alone. I think the statistic is 2 in 5 pregnancies end in miscarriage. I wrote an article about my own experience, and also one about a close friend's. You will notice that our experience and yours are all very different. You will handle it in your own way, and that's just what you have to do. But you will be OK in time. My miscarriage was 5 years ago, I got pregnant again after 4 months, and now I have two amazing boys aged 3 1/2 and 2. Please check back and let us know how you are. Here are links to the articles in case you want to read them:
