    • Close Miscarriage

      I had a miscarriage at 16 weeks June 23rd. I have also had two previous miscarriages. I had to have a D&C during this miscarriage. The baby was born in the hospital while I was waiting to see a doctor in the hospital. I recently found out my baby stopped growing and the heart stopped. I feel sad and I cry everyday. Some of my friends think I should just have another baby or move on with my life. I am having trouble sleeping and if I do fall asleep the nightmares wake me up.

      Treatments

      D&C Working / Worked
      The D&C did work. However I am still having cramping and bleeding.
    • Close Anxiety

      I am painfully shy. It is sometimes hard for me to be in large groups. It is hard for me when I meet new people to warm up to them and start conversations.

      Treatments

      Breathing Exercises Working / Worked
      This sometimes works for me. When I am in a difficult situation I am supposed to take a cleansing breath to calm myself down.
    • Open Bereavement

      I am grieving over three babies I have lost to miscarriages. One of them was in 2001, 2007, and a recent one this year. I am also still trying to deal with my dad's death which occurred in 2003.

      Treatments

      Crying Working / Worked
      This is something I do from time to time it seems to help me a little bit.
      Getting Angry Working / Worked
      I sometimes get angry at people around me because sometimes it is hard to talk about. This does not work to scream and yell at other people.
      Scrapbooking Working / Worked
      Yes this keeps the memories alive and it helps to have the memories.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      Friends and family are supportive and there for me to talk to when i need to. This has been helpful to me.
      Talking Working / Worked
      When others understand how I feel this works great. However when people say hurtful things or have nothing to do with me due to what others say it can be very hurtful.
    • Open Depression

      Ever since I have lost my third baby. I have been severely depressed. I do not care if I eat because I get nauseated when I have to eat. I have pain that has not went away since my D&C. I cannot sleep well and somtimes I wake up from terible nightmares that has to do with my baby. I find even getting out of the house is a chore and I hate going to work which used to be something I liked to do. I just wish I knew if things will ever get better.

      Treatments

      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      This is something that sometimes helps but some people feel I should be over it. Others try and be supportive but sometimes I feel like they do not understand what I am going through. However I will say some of my friends and most of my family try to be supportive.
      Writing Working / Worked
      This helps me know how I feel even when I cannot talk about it. It gives me a place to write down fears, dreams, how I feel, or what has happened. It has been helpful sometimes.
    • Open Asthma

      I have had asthma since the age of six. As I have gotten older I have had more trouble and I have to be monitored every three months.

      Treatments

      Advair Working / Worked
      Works most of the time.
      Albuterol Working / Worked
      Use in emergencies and it does work.
