I have been married for 4.5 years to my one true love. In two years, we had two kids. After that, for whatever reason, I started miscarrying. My obstetrical history is as follows.
August 2008: Baby #1
November 2009: Baby #2
March 2010: Miscarriage #1 at 4 weeks
September 2010: Miscarriage #2 at 8 weeks
May 2011: Miscarriage #3 at 8 weeks
November 2011: Miscarriage #4 at 6 weeks
December 2011: Pregnant, again, 2 weeks post-miscarriage.
Each miscarriage was different in how and when I told people. Some I talked openly about my pregnancy and others I didn’t acknowledge until after the miscarriage. As I know how difficult recurrent miscarriages are, I refuse to grieve silently. I have also found power in talking openly of my fears and triumphs. For further reference to my miscarriages, this is a list of my many posts.
