An Honest, Real Conversation about Miscarriage...
Momversation recently featured the below video about miscarriages. The video is one of the most honest and straight up pieces we've seen on miscarriages. It's such a hard topic to discuss but the genuine sincerity and openness of the women featured on the video provides a great way for us to bring up how miscarriages affect women. Please share your thoughts on the video with us.

that was excellent, my mom had a miscarriage, and my dads mom miscarried 5 babies, me and my husband are trying right now, I have endometriosis but I'm in the clear to have a baby, and this really brought it home to me, because I know how my mom felt losing her baby, she had my brother and myself which is good, but like they said its still a death. Good post kudos!
I know my mom was absolutely crushed when she had a miscarriage. Thanks for sharing this.
I have had a miscarriage before and I am pregnant again now. I have had a lot of complications this time and everyday it terrifies me that it might happen again. It is amazing how much you can learn to love a baby that you've never really even seen yet, I am only half way through my pregnancy right now. Everyday I pray that my baby will make it the whole way.
My sister and I both had a miscarriage under the same circumstances. Both our babies were deceased for a month before any symptoms and we both had 3 healthy children prior to our experiences. My mom had 2 miscarriages that she never really talked about but briefly but she didn't get into what she experienced and she had 8 children! My Mom is now deceased but it makes me wonder if the same thing happened to her because I have daughters. I haven't really brought the subject up with my daughters but this makes me think I should, at least when the time is right.
I lost my first on the 16th, this was a great video.I was 14.4 weeks and had told everyone after 12.I had a little bump and i was so excited.The only time anyone has spoken to me about it was when a friend came up to me and congratulated me.I told her what had happened and she said oh...sorry i'll talk to you about it later.She hasnt spoken to me since.Its so taboo and its so frustrating.Everyone just expects you to get over it but i cant it hurts more than anything ive ever experianced.Its hard not to blame yourself and feel guilty even when you did nothing.Life is so cruel, there are no answers your just supposed to pick yourself up and forget you had this amazing little person in your life and be just as you were before.I dont see how thats possible.
@anas_song18@xanga - I feel sorry for anyone that has to go through this. A miscarriage is the death of a dream, the child that you thought you were going to have, of all the hopes and dreams you had for this child, and now, is so suddenly taken from you. One day, you were pregnant, the next, you are not. I know, I was there twice. I also know the pain of being congratulated the very evening that I was sure that I was beginning to lose the baby. I smiled, and said "Thanks" but inside, I was worried. An ultrasound the next day showed the small figure of a 10 wk. fetus, but no heartbeat. That was during my second miss. We'd had such good hopes that maybe our son will have a sibling. My husband and I grieved like we had already met this child.
God has blest us with two little girls since, not quite 16 mon. apart. The first one, we thought we were losing her several times. The fear, worries that go with that, put a real stress on our relationship. When i got pregnant rather unexpectedly with the second daughter, I felt i'd probably miscarry again, given my past history. I had a few scares, but everything turned out fine. My days are more then full now, but the memories of losing two babies will always remain. I will never forget the feeling of devastation. Some people don't seem to mind it as much, but I did.
Im sorry for everyone's losses. I lost my baby on September 15 at 6 weeks. I just found out I was pregnant so I was still in shock but I was still really devastated. This was a great video!
im so sorry for everyones losses. i lost my daughter at 19 weeks on december 14th
this is the first real thing i've been able to find that actually addresses miscarriage more than just the symptoms.
