At last! What every woman needs to know to recover from miscarriage
and go on to have a healthy and happy full term pregnancy.
AFTER FOUR MISCARRIAGES I THOUGHT ID NEVER BE A MOM. I WAS DEPRESSED,
ANXIOUS AND FELT SO ALONE. NOW I'M HAPPY AND I'VE HAD THREE HEALTHY
CHILDREN! HERES HOW IT HAPPENED
*I have changed our names in our story to protect our privacy and
that of our children, especially our son.*
Dear friend
If you're like me you probably NEVER EXPECTED to have a miscarriage.
I know I didn'thaving a baby was my lifelong dream and I thought it
would be easy.
Like most girls I spent my childhood playing families and looking
after my younger siblings and cousins. I loved children and COULDNT
WAIT to have my own.
Things didnt turn out to be as easy as I anticipated but finally,
after years of trying, WE FELL PREGNANT! And then.
I miscarried. I was overwhelmed with immense grief and NUMBNESS.
I COULDN'T STOP QUESTIONING WHY THIS HAPPENED TO ME
AND WHAT IT WAS THAT I DID WRONG.
My name is Louise Gadsby and I'd like to share my story with you.
It's a story of loss, despair, grief, loneliness, sadness and finally
hope, joy and fulfillment.
It is my hope that in sharing my story it will help you to heal and
give you the knowledge, courage and inspiration to try again and have
the family you desire.
DESPITE the numerous miscarriages, fertility treatments and emotional
highs ">
IT TOOK ME OVER 4 YEARS TO FINALLY SEE THOSE 2 BLUE LINES
We tried naturally, then sought assistance from Chinese medicine,
acupuncture and naturopathic treatments.
INITIALLY it seemed this was to no avail, although my cycle was
certainly more regular from these treatments we still had no success.
So finally we took the step of undertaking fertility treatment during
which I discovered I had PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome).
Over the years I undertook so many pregnancy tests that I should have
bought shares in the company.
We were undertaking our final round of using drugs to stimulate the
ovaries and IUI (before up stepping to full IVF) when I finally fell
pregnant.
My ovaries weren't particularly responsive and I needed a high dosage
of drugs to get just one egg. At first only one blue line appeared and
I resolved that we would be moving onto full IVF but when I checked
the test later on that evening there a was a faint 2nd line which
became more prominent over the week as I undertook many more tests to
confirm my pregnancy.
I couldn't believe that after years of trying it was finally
happening and we would become parents. WE DID IT! We were ecstatic. We
were thrilled beyond words. We hugged and kissed like newly-weds. Like
the Jerry Maguire movie this little tiny baby growing inside me had me
at hello.
We calculated the due date and discovered that it would be the same
birthdate as my grandmother.it was obviously meant to be. And we were
even more elated when we discovered, at seven weeks, that we were
expecting TWINS.
THE WORD MISCARRIAGE DIDN'T EVEN ENTER INTO MY HEAD
I knew people who had had them and I knew it was more prominent in
the first trimester but it wasn't going to happen to me. My sisters
had fallen pregnant easily and given birth to numerous children
without even a hint of miscarriage.
Our good friends who also undertook fertility treatment had never
miscarried. My pregnancy symptoms were STRONG and I didn't even begin
to imagine that something was wrong. The nausea was overwhelming, my
breasts were so tender and doubled in size overnight. I had to
purchase new bras and finally got to spend the $500 pumpkin patch baby
clothes voucher that I had won.
I could hardly contain my EXCITEMENT when I went in for my first
scan. Seeing my babies on the screen was to be the highlight of my
day. But when I saw the look on my specialists face MY HEART SANK. The
smaller baby was being squashed by his/her larger sibling. He was
concerned about the smaller twin.
I was put on progesterone pessaries and advised to come back for
further scans.
At nine weeks we came back from holiday to have another scan.
Mentally I had prepared myself that we MIGHT LOSE ONE of the babies. I
knew what the risks were but had never envisaged losing both.
I anticipated that we would be either told only one of the babies
would be viable or that everything was okay and we would be expecting
twins - we were both deeply shocked to learn that neither embryo had a
heartbeat and I was carrying TWO DEAD BABIES. My specialist pulled the
curtain to give us some privacy but at that point I couldnt cry.
In my mind I was convinced that if Id had a miscarriage there would
be some sign - bleeding or loss of pregnancy symptoms. I was sure that
I would know the moment my baby died.
I DIDN'T REALIZE babies could die without any immediate change to
your pregnancy symptoms and felt terrible to think that I had been
carrying dead babies inside me and didn't know. What type of mother
was I?
It wasnt until I was being wheeled into surgery, for a d font-weight:
normal; ">The physical healing process was quick and painless. But the
EMOTIONAL PAIN was overwhelming and long lasting.
When I went home later that day I just sat in the room that was to be
my babies. There were some newborn outfits that I had purchased and so
I sat on the bed and SOBBED into the clothes.
I couldn't believe that my much longed-for babies were GONE and I
would never get to hold them in my arms. My much wanted dream of being
a mother was being shattered.
Emotionally it was such a tough time but what made it worse was the
reaction from other people. Some people AVOIDED ME and others made
insensitive comments. It was "NATURES WAY" they said.
Almost everybody expected that, as soon as I had healed from the
surgery, I should be back at work and acting as if nothing had
happened. The world just continued to function. Meantime I was
overwhelmed with grief and loss.
I felt anxious and depressed and a sense of overwhelming
helplessness. I struggled to function and wondered what was wrong with
me.
AT THAT TIME I DIDN'T KNOW THAT THIS WAS A NORMAL REACTION
OR THAT THERE WERE SIMPLE THINGS THAT I COULD DO TO
HELP ME HEAL EMOTIONALLY AND PHYSICALLY.
I found it really difficult to find the help I needed and felt
INCREDIBLY ALONE, which is one of the reasons I want to share my story
with you.
They couldnt find A REASON for the miscarriage. Desperate for answers
I asked whether it was something that I ate. He assured me it wasnt
but I still questioned whether it was something that I had done. The
doctor said it was just one of those things.
What I didnt know at the time was that I was pregnant again - natural
conception after all those years! This time however my joy was
OVERSHADOWED by the loss of the twins.
I was so anxious I found it hard to function. I was SCARED to
acknowledge it was real in case I lost this one as well. I wish I had
known then what I know now.
My worst fears were confirmed a few weeks later when the specialist
told me that I was experiencing an ECTOPIC PREGNANCY and surgery would
be necessary. However by the time of the scheduled surgery the baby
had completely come away.
Soon after I saw a psychiatrist who prescribed very strong SLEEPING
PILLS and sedatives - this was just before Christmas in 2004. I
remembered that Christmas period as being completely overwhelmed with
grief and loss - my own personal tsunami.
As I watched in horror the 2004 boxing day tsunami I felt that I too
was being completely swept away - my own personal natural disaster had
occurred.
It was then that I began to RESEARCH MISCARRIAGE in earnest. Driven
by fear, frustration and disappointment with the medical system I read
every newspaper article, every book and every piece of information I
could lay my hands on. I wanted to know how to stop the miscarriages.
I wanted to ease my pain.
As I uncovered more research I became ASTOUNDED at the amount of
information that my doctor didn't seem to know.
I became OBSESSED. I experimented on myself.
AND FINALLY, AFTER TWO MORE MISCARRIAGES,
MY RESEARCH PAID OFF. ON 2 DECEMBER 2005
MY BEAUTIFUL BABY BOY, JACK WAS BORN.
Sadly it wasnt until after he was born that I discovered what I
believe is THE KEY. That last piece of the puzzle that allowed me to
carry my two girls FULL TERM, with perfect trouble free pregnancies
. .That piece of the puzzle that means they are vigorously health
while Jack is constantly in hospital and struggles to keep up. That
piece of the puzzle that my OBGYN initially dismissed but, I recently
discovered, NOW RECOMMENDS to his patients.
You see Jack was born at 26 weeks. His lungs had barely formed and he
needed a ventilator. They had to rush him into surgery as his heart
wasnt working properly. Everyday I woke up and prayed that he had
survived the night. I SAW other BABIES DIE which is something that
will haunt me for the rest of my life.
Despite his rocky start to life he is such an amazing blessing and
everything he does is a MIRACLE. Thanks to him I take nothing in life
for granted and all other challenges in life seem relatively easy.
I love him completely. He has such courage and teaches me new things
every day. But sometimes I cant help but feel guilty that I didnt find
out that last piece of information before he was born..
SO WHAT DID I DO DIFFERENTLY THE NEXT TIME THAT
ENSURED I WOULD CARRY TO FULL TERM, WITH
PERFECT TROUBLE FREE PREGNANCIES?
Well thats what youll find out in my book "Hope and Healing After
Miscarriage". That and all the other research I uncovered.

Your partner in hope and healing
P.S. Some of you may be wondering why I have included so much
information on emotional healing in "Hope and Healing After
Miscarriage". Partly it is because my own journey was so painful and I
found it hard to get emotional support. Mostly it is because I
discovered research that indicates women like us, who miscarry, have a
GREATER RISK of long-term depression even when we subsequently have a
baby.
In my own experience I suffered from both general depression and post
natal depression. It is known that somewhere between 10% and 50% of
women who experience miscarriage will go on to develop depression.
This is complicated by the fact that miscarriage is an "invisible"
event and generally not a recognized loss. It is my hope that the
information in my book will help you achieve a quick and full recovery
so that you can enjoy your bundle of joy as soon as he or she is born.
