I am really sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I had 2 myself, before I became pregnant with this baby. I know that it is hard and you should really find someone to talk to. It is a big deal to you! Something wasn't right with the pregnancy and it is our bodies response to get rid of it. Unfair, I know. Maybe focus on getting yourself feeling better and then look ahead to the future when you can try again! All the luck to you.
