I recently had a miscarriage and am seeking some sort of support group in my area. Im not even sure what to expect but am willing to try some different things to begin to make me feel better. I also attend a wonderful church and am receiving support and help from my pastors' wife but am looking for a place to go where I can fellowship with other women who have gone through this as well

What can I do next?

I also suffered a miscarriage and I am so sorry you are going through this. Going through a miscarriage was the toughest experience of my life. I also looked for a support group but I found comfort in talking with a girlfriend who had also had miscarriages. I also found a book that reallyyyyy helped me called, A Silent Sorrow By: Ingrid Kohn,MSW.
My husband and I also planted a special tree in memory of our baby. It's nice to have something special as a memorial.
Please contact me if you'd like talk more.

M.,
I'm so sorry for your loss. I went through that as well and have since had a healthy baby boy and am 35 weeks along with another. I don't know any support groups to attend, but I found a group on WebMD in the pregnancy boards called Coping With Loss very helpful. They also have a TTC After Loss and a Pregnancy After group for those of us who feel nervous about trying again - when the time is right.
Be good to yourself - I am gad to hear your church has been there for you.
Peace,
B.

I am so sorry for the loss you have experienced. :( I am not aware of any support groups, but perhaps check with your local hospital or your OB, they may know of a group or a way to get in touch with other women who have also gone through that. I have known of many lately that have gone through it (my sister had a couple last year before getting pregnant with baby #2....she just started her 3rd trimester).

I'm glad you have someone to talk to - but hopefully you can locate others that have gone through what you are and can connect with you on that level.

Again, I'm sure this is a difficult time - I'm sorry.

M., I am so so sorry for your loss :(
This website helped me a lot: http://www.pregnancyloss.info/ She used to have wonderful online forums too, but even without those now, the site has great supportive information.

take care,
