I just went through or am going through i should say my 4th miscarriage.. i dont feel so emotional this time for some reason, although the doctor warned me to make sure i get my feelings out.. i am not working right now as i lost my job in feb so i think its helping not having to be like in the public eye unless i want to be.  i wanted to share with you my obgyns thoughts... he said he would prescribe prozac if i wanted it and i could take that in a small does into a pregnancy... i havent truly decided yet what to do, i thought i would sort of play it by ear and see how my emotions are.. and why is it after a m/c u either see every single woman in town that is pregnant or with a newborn????????>
my heart goes out to you.........

Katharine,
this is a very delicate issue.
First of all let me tell you how sorry I'm for the m/c.
I went through 2 myself and its really difficul to cope.
I would talk to your OBGYN and see what they think about the meds.
Good luck
