I had a second miscarriage 3 months ago. The first time I had a miscarriage I got pregnant right away but this time it is taking longer to conceive. Every time I get my period (third time today since miscarriage)I just crash and cry for 3 days. My husband can't understand it and keeps blaming me for being depressed but I can't help it. What can I do to make him understand how difficult it is?

Dear Orly I am sorry to hear about your losses and emotional crashes. The frustration and pain that women feel after pregnancy losses or while trying to conceive are very strong and have a significant effect their well being. Most women feel depression, pain, guilt and anxiety on different levels. The reactions very from one woman to another in terms of whether she is externalizing her feelings or not. You ask how to make you husband understand your reaction. Have you tried telling him why you feel like that? Men tend to cope differently, but you can try to tell him that your ways of expressing your pain are just different from his. You can also show him what I wrote. Are you getting any psychological support? Please keep writing here You can also contact me via e mail. Take care, Gily גילי אגר פסיכולוגית 0544959060 [email protected]

Hi Gili, showing my husband what you wrote was a really good idea. The last two days he has been more supportive and understanding and it actually made me think forward and not dwell in what we lost. I think that the only way for me to actually move pass this is to get pregnant again as soon as possible. Another problem is that all my girlfriends are pregnant and it is so hard to get away from this "subject". At this point I am still not seeking professional help because I don't want to officially make it a problem. I'm just taking it one day at a time...

Hi Orly. (Do you read Hebrew? If you do, I prefer to write in Hebrew to make it easier for others to read). I am so glad to hear that things got better with your husband. One day at a time is a great way to deal with such an emotional state. Getting pregnant again might take some time and you should be prepared for that. Seeing others pregnant is very difficult, but don't force yourself to meet such friends as you reaction to their pregnancies and new babies is natural. Take your time and don't force yourself to do anything. Keep writing Gily
