My molar pregnacy story

Simone, it wouldnt have upset us at all, we are all there for you, no matter what

Simone C, in a way I was to blame that friends and family weren't too concerned or understanding. It was difficult to talk about the details since people can get very uncomfortable should you go into details since we are talking about your "private parts" and not just your arm and leg...For that reason I guess I felt very isolated. And like you say, you don't want to freak out other women, so one tends to keep it quiet. But I am glad you can talk about it here in a safe environment.

I agree, having been able to have a child after that has given me quite a different perspective on having kids and life in general, one can't help but to realise what a miracle it is to have a healthy child.

Tanya my friend also said that to me yesterday...she didn't realise what an ordeal it was. I obviously didn't want to freak you pregnant ladies out either.... it's enough to worry about something going wrong normally and not have my story shoved in your face.

Miss you gals....send my love to all the ladies:)

Thank you gloeiwurmpie! So glad you had a happy ending!! I have 2 wonderful kids as well...this ordeal makes me appreciate them so much more.

Hi Simone,

I dont know what to say as long as you get better, thats all that matters at this point. You were so brave, never let on to us that it was as bad an ordeal as it was

I am so glad you managed to talk to Julz, when I read your post I couldn't help thinking of her and what had happened to her. I found that most friends or family had no idea what I went through since I think it is hard to imagine what such a situation is like without ever been through it yourself. And I agree the range of emotions are intense. It goes from shock (can't believe this rare complication happened to me?!) to relief (I am alive!) and then to sadness about the loss of pregnancy and then fear that it might happen again! One is suddenly confronted by our fragileness where we often forget this during our day to day mundane routines.

Yes! We started TTC about 6 months after that and conceived in the first month of trying and we have the most adorable little girl of 4 years old today.

Sending lots of healing vibes to your side! xx

Gloeiwurmpie I was reading up and I saw it was compared to or exmplained with ectopic pregnancies.

I think I had to process so many things....that I had to speed up the healing. ALso add to that friends that didn't understand or give me the time of day to be there for me.... I just had to get on with it. Chatted to Julz and I think that helped me. Yes it was traumatic and there are so many feelings....that one doesn't even know which feelings to focus on? I am allowing myself to be angry or sad when the moment hits me though.

Thank you for sharing....sorry you went through that....horrible:( Did you go on to have a normal pregnancy afterwards?
