<t>I took Paxil during the first few weeks of my last healthy pregnancy, still recovering from a breakdown after two miscarriages, and then had to go back on at 5 months, after 9/11. No BP problems during that pg. But after that pregnancy, I developed hypertension, and it was definitely linked to th...

<t>I came across an article today about women who pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for lifelike baby dolls (very life-like). They're not just collecting them; they dress them and take them on outings, and have birthday parties for them...they have no children or one misses a grandchild who moved...

<t>Time did help me. The pain is not at the surface all the time now.

<t>Sharlotte, I am so sorry for the loss of your little daughter. Holding things together for your other children when you are devastated with grief is very very hard.

Take care of yourself and suuround yourself with people who understand. Holidays can be rough.(((hugs)))

<t>I just graduated from NS - wouldn't not have gone if I hadn't lost Francesca. There were bitter days when the loss of her was very strong in my mind and as an undercurrent it is always with me.<br/> <br/> I believe your experience of grief will be a gift to your patients and make you a better nur...

I'm sorry.

Been there - husband was laid off just three months after we lost Francesca. Just what you don't need on top of all else. Hugs and prayers that he finds a good opportunity soon.
