I suffered a miscarriage 6 weeks ago. I was 16 weeks pregnant and I had suffered 6 bleeds for which I had been to the Dr each time and the hospital for scans.
On the day I lost my baby I woke early in the morning with cramps that came and went every 10 minutes, these carried on through the day and I went to see my Dr (Cramps every 3 mins by now) who said that the pains weren't normal but that my babies heart was beating at a good rate and so all was fine and he wouldn't refer me for tests. I went home but after enduring the pains for a further 4 hours my Husband called out another Dr who listened to my babies heart beating again and said all was fine and that I should stop fussing and go to bed as he didn't think I could be in the pain I said I was in, he gave me a pain killer and left and I went to bed.
4 hours later I woke again with extreme pain and went to the toilet where my waters broke and the next thing I knew my baby was hanging between my legs. I woke my husband who cal

I am sorry for your loss.
What helped me was trying to look for little happiness-es throughout my day. It was very difficult at first because everywhere I looked reminded me of my baby. But after a while I was not crying all day but only part and if I focused on good things and started to heal from inside. Talking to friends or family is always helpful, If you belong to a church or temple you could find strength there. I wish you luck, and it will be hard. I hope you will be OK

I'm so sorry to hear that. Start trying again when you feel ready, and it will give you something to look forward to. Remember, 1 miscarriage does not mean you'll have another one.
I miscarried at just 3 weeks, and about 6 months later, I got pregnant again. I was so happy - everything was going fine...
Then when I was 16 weeks too, I woke up bleeding heavily and in severe pain. I went straight to the hospital, where they told me not to be too hopeful, and that I was almost certainly miscarrying. I couldn't stop crying and praying (even though I'm not really religious) - they managed to stop the contractions, and I was out of hospital a week later on bed rest, my baby still holding on in there.
It has been a high risk pregnancy all through, and I have been scared to sleep at night in case I started bleeding again, but I'm finally 34 weeks, and things are looking better.
I was lucky at the hopsital, and I got good doctors, yours sounds incompetent to me, I would be very mad at him!
Just to show you though., that there is hope!! And to let you know I'm with you, I know how you feel as I came so frighteningly close myself!

wow that is terrible. it seems like doctors these days are doing that kind of thing a lot, telling people not to worry and then it turns out to be something very serious. Hopefully you told those doctors what happened so maybe next time they will take a person seriously when coming to them w/ these symptoms.
Find a doctor you feel like you can trust. Let them know what happened to you and ask that they take you seriously when you feel like somethign is wrong. Then go ahead and try getting pregnant again once you feel ready.
I'm sorry for what happened that sounds so traumatizing for both you and your husband..It might also be helpful for you guys to talk to a therapist to get thru this.
