Thank you for this TED talk Cassandra Blomberg! I've found your TED talk to be more comforting and understandable than other resource I've connected with. I had a miscarriage this past Saturday, they would have been 8 wk 1d and I am trying to find ways to support myself, allow space and ability me to grieve. Thank you!

I just lost my baby yesterday and I honestly don’t know how to feel I’m only 21

25 April 2021

I really needed this 💔 was avoiding my grief but it is real & should be acknowledged. Thank you for this video

25 April 2021

I named my baby even though I had an early miscarriage…after my grandpa who also passed so I could talk about the loss…bc I'm a teen I can't talk about it…it sucks

25 April 2021

I thought only I am too much emotional about it but we all are same. It isn't easy to just move on as if nothing happened..

25 April 2021

I would’ve been 31 weeks pregnant today, with my last pregnancy and I’m still grieving the loss of both my babies, I’ve had two miscarriages 💔 my husband doesn’t like to talk about the subject because it hurts but I suffer alone. I keep hearing “you’re young, you’re healthy” I’m only 23 but why haven’t I been able to carry a pregnancy full term ?

I lost my baby at 10 weeks😭😭

25 April 2021

I lost our baby at last day of my 9th week. I'm really devastated. I'm really sad and cry silently. Especially I imagine what my baby will become in the future. I have to much plans on us. I feel really sad I had this kind of guilt and regret. I'm not that kind of emotional but I really love my baby. So so much, I always say I'm sorry and cry silently. I'm hoping that I can get over this. I love you my baby.

Just lost my first baby at 7 weeks. And you are right, we talk about other deaths but feel shameful about miscarriages. It's one of the worst feelings I've ever felt.

25 April 2021

I just lost my baby at 8 weeks.

25 April 2021

I is a spellcaster. My family have been scatterethank babascove on Instagram whod and separated but when I encountered him, I gave him some informations he requested for and after that, everything worked out very fast and unbelievable. my husband called me, and we settled and by family is back. My children, my husband and me are together now. I'm really happy for the good work of Babascove. I recommend him for his good works,

The two of my doctors, all they said to me was that ”Its fine, you can still have kids, you still have your other fallopian tube”

25 April 2021

This is it completely mourning in silence.

25 April 2021

Does this apply to abortion?

25 April 2021

Miscarriages are due to APS (Antiphospholipid syndrome). This is met also when you have a tyroid autoimmune problems. There are pregnancies when APS cause the miscarriages, but in others APS can be mild and you can have a pregnancy even without a treatment (but only in lucky cases).It's very important to take warfarin and aspirin before you even find out that you are pregnant.

This woman is so amazingly strong! I don't know how she did this excellent talk without pausing or crying.
Thank you so much. You are helping me to deal with my loss I'm actively going through.

25 April 2021

Just found out I had a missed miscarriage. I did not expect myself to feel the way I do. I feel so broken and alone. I keep replaying when they told me that they couldn’t find a heartbeat.

I know miscarriages are common but I just never expected it would happen to me.

25 April 2021

All I do is talk about my loss 🌷

25 April 2021

I just lost my baby at 8 weeks and im destroyed..

25 April 2021

25 April 2021

thank you for it. just lost my first baby at 28 weeks. I wish I can be strong as you. Still coping up that I can still have another baby. Yes. everything you said is true. I hope someone is there for me that will help me with it. 😢 I know God have purpose why it happened.

25 April 2021

Not true. Many share their families are supportive.

Thank you

Just found out yesterday that i lost my first baby at 7 weeks due to blighted ovam. Thank you for this I needed to hear that im not alone

25 April 2021

Last week we lost our baby at 5 weeks, our first try and just as I was getting used to being pregnant, its devastating. I did some research and checked my bloods, found out the issue might be my thyroid being off. Hopefully this helps others for whom that may also be the cause.

25 April 2021

The ONE thing i wish i had known when i went through each of my 3 miscarriages was that i wasn't alone.

25 April 2021

kept the entire pregnancy silent and was mentally abused the entire time

25 April 2021

lost my baby at 13 weeks in 2018 and I still haven’t seen anybody for it and keep it silent. 🙁

25 April 2021

I lost my baby at 12 weeks. It's been more than a year and my baby, if she was born, would be one by 01.01.2020, I never got to hold or see her. I never got a chance to hear her heartbeat and even know the gender but I always thought it would be a baby girl. I named her Natalia Claire and even after a year, it still breaks my heart remembering her.

25 April 2021

I just miscarried yesterday after finding out I was pregnant earlier this week. It’s absolutely heartbreaking even though it was short lived. I wasn’t even sure if I was going to keep my child. But the fact that that choice was taking from me is just, devastating . I can’t even sleep

25 April 2021

I lost my baby full term and she survived for two hours. Still feel like there’s not enough about neonatal death. everyone talks about miscarriage and stillbirth but my baby had a birth certificate.

Worst thing we heard (said to our grandmother) was “well they knew it was going to happen”, because it was pre diagnosed. Knowing the baby is unlikely to survive doesn’t take away from the grief and pain

25 April 2021

just lost my baby today at 6 weeks

25 April 2021

Stop , how do guy handle losing a daughter

25 April 2021

Thank you for sharing your experience. We lost many through natural pregnancy and IVF. To me, never any difference between a 6 week loss or a 12 week loss. People who have not lost a baby are so fortunate. Sorry for your loss. As a man and a husband, I hope you know it also affects us badly.

25 April 2021

I'm sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing. I am a daughter of a mother who had one miscarriage which is how I wound up on this Ted Talk to try to understand how it affects the mother. Again thanks for sharing.

25 April 2021

I lost my twins one on 8/22/20 and on 9/25/20 I found I had too get my pregnancy Terminated

25 April 2021

Each and every word makes sense. Lost her at 34 weeks..The pain is so real.. nicely addressed!

25 April 2021

😭😭😭😭 the guilt. I had an early loss a week ago. I feel like I have no right to feel sad. I have 11 beautiful kids. But this baby was dreamt of, prayed for, loved. We were all excited. And now nothing. Empty. I feel like I can’t be sad. I’m trying to hide it but I’m so so sad. I feel depressed but I don’t know what to. And we only knew for a week. I can’t imagine going through this more than once, further along, with no children. I can’t imagine it 😭💔💔💔💔
