PREGNANCY: Miscarriage (Incredible Sadness)

I was just wondering if there were any sites for active chatting on issues such as mine. I recently experienced the loss of my baby due to a miscarriage. He was 15 weeks and 1 day old. It is believed to be due to the fibroid that was located near his placenta (doctors wouldn't definitively say) but I believe it was because of that particular fibroid. This was my first pregnancy and I am experiencing INTENSE SADNESS. I have moments where I keep it together and other moments where I fall apart at the thought of the actual miscarriage and seeing my 15 week old baby lifeless in my hands. Apparently it was more traumatizing than I thought. I'm trying so hard to keep it together.

During my pregnancy I started off with 1 "detected" fibroid which was 4 cm. When I became pregnant - it more than doubled in size but it was on the "outside" of the uterus. As my pregnancy progressed - three others appeared (two on the outside and 1 on the inside directly under my baby.) They did cause excruciating pain at one point during my pregnancy.....but I was able to get pass that and progress three more weeks without any major pain. I had read that there were successful pregnancies even with fibroids so I guess I let my guard down and began wrap my mind around the idea that everything would be okay if I could just make it to my 2nd trimester. But that didn't happen.

I guess I just need to vent - I don't know. I'm in the process of scheduling surgery for removal of the fibroids and to perhaps start over - but I'm afraid the same thing will happen. I don't feel so confident about my body being able to carry to full term. I'm not sure my fragile state can sustain another blow such as this one.

Thank you for any insight you can provide.
