I have had two miscarriages in a year was about 3 months both times and both non viable. One had a chromosomal abnormality but the other just quit growing. Had D&C for both. Last one was just a few months ago. I handled it well in the begining but now I feel like I am losing it. Is this normal? Is this pospartum, depression or normal grief. I almost feel manic. When if first happened I exercised excessively just trying to have control over my body. Now all I want to do is sleep, cry, eat, watch t.v. Dont like myself. I am able to function but just barely. I just turned 40, would still like another child but don't want to go through this again. I have two healthy beautiful children. Know I should be happy but am not. Any advice?

I am so sorry for your losses. Two losses in that short of time would make anyone feel sad. It is possible you have post partum depression. Or your hormones could be off.
Grief can hit at anytime I had my first loss 6 years ago and on certain days feel like it was yesterday.. The only real advice I have is the more you run from grief sooner or later it sneaks up on you. For me I denied my grief and end up gaining alot of weight. If you feel you need someone to talk to thats ok also.
I have three other children and its ok to still miss the babies you didnt get a chance to hold and love here on earth. Please post here as often as you need to we listen and understand. ((hugs))

I totally am feeling crazy right now. I had 2 m/c with in 9 months of each other. I am only 26 yo I want to hide from groups aside from my parents. I workout and clean like crazy. I keep super busy. And then no energy to do anything at all and i eat things i end up feeling guilty about later. I dont sleep well. I totally wish i could help you out but I identify with you

Oh boy. I lost my babies 9 months apart. I gained a lot of weight. Became very hostile and aggressive. Slept a lot. I feel like I had just normal grief. You can always talk to a therapist if you feel it's post partum. But just regular old grief can be brutal.

I wonder if you might benefit from seeing someone in case you have depression.
