Miscarriage Poem

My first pregnancy just ended with a natural miscarriage at 8 weeks. The doctors, my friends and my family are all trying to provide support. They keep telling me that there was nothing I could do because it is a natural thing that just happens. It is so hard for me to accept that.

I Did Not Expect This

© Carola
This is natural, they say
It is all for the best
I cannot move past this heartache
This pain in my chest

Those days were surreal
Did this truly just occur
Happiness turned to sorrow
My life now a blur

This is natural, they say
I knew I was going to lose you
The most difficult emotion
There was nothing I could do

I am given no explanation
This is natural, they say
Were you pink or were you blue
My complexion is now grey

Trying to move on
A forward step everyday
I will always remember you
This is natural, they say

  • I feel your pain. I had it happened to me twice in six months. both times when I went for my 9 week scan, there was no heart beat. That is after I saw the heart beat at 6 weeks. All the test came back positive, they say there was nothing wrong. Wish it were so that I can take some medication for it, so it won't happen again

  • I lost one child through miscarriage and one adult child at age 33. There is an emptiness that never goes away.
    It doesn't matter how much counseling you seek or how busy one tries to stay, the pain is there underneath the surface.
    I miss them both.

  • I just found out I lost my baby two days ago, I was 9 weeks pregnant. Started with abdominal pain and bleeding. I knew I was going to lose it when I was crying in the bathroom. Went to get the ultra sound and was confirmed. So heartbreaking, it was our first pregnancy, we were going to wait and tell our friends and family at Christmas...now, it's not going to happen. We just bought a baby name book two days before the miscarriage, I am very sad.

  • I miscarried almost exactly 4 years ago, when I went for my 9 week scan, there was no heartbeat. the loss has left a hole that nothing will ever fill, and is not something that anyone can understand unless they go through it. people think that because it was so early, it should be easier to get over. But they don't understand. from the moment I heard the words, "you're pregnant" I loved that baby more than words can ever express, and will miss him/her for the rest of my life. It's not something I will ever ''get over''. I know exactly how you feel.

  • I lost my baby 12 years ago when I was 15 weeks. And though the pain goes away there isn't a day I don't think about her. A friend of mine has just miscarried at 8 weeks and 5 days. It was her first and I have no words to say that can take that pain away

  • I had miscarriage while I was at work. Me and my boss who was my cousin had a disagreement and I got upset! I went to the bathroom and I started bleeding! So I went to my Dr. and my baby had no heart beat I am so upset and very depressed. I just found out that I have a cousin who is expecting and I'm upset about that and I don't know why

  • I can truly agree about the pain that never goes away and people expect you to get over it. I was 7 weeks when I lost my baby, I got up in a happy and good mood because it was my birthday and I was excited about going to check on my little one. When it was time for me to check on my little one, it wasn't a heartbeat. I still cry till this even though it has been a whole year, the pain will never go away..

  • I lost my angel at 8 weeks, on November 17,2011 and I just cant stop thinking about my loss, my baby father and I had just broken up and I was so stressed, I cant stop blaming myself for my lost if only I wasn't so stressed I would have been the first time mother that I am longing for now. Is it natural for me to want another baby I feel so empty like a part of me is missing. It is now November and every night I still cry myself to sleep.
