However, if you are looking for answers to cope with miscarriage, know that you are not alone.

Coping with a miscarriage can be both emotionally and physically draining for the expectant parents and the family. The psychology of parents, especially the mother takes her through several phases of shock, denial, anger, guilt, depression and finally acceptance. But it takes a while before she reaches the last stage.

Here are some ways:

[*][B]Relax and de-stress with activities that you enjoy:[/B] After the loss, the expectant mother could feel lonely and retract herself from any physical activity. In such a case, she must be encouraged to relax her mind by employing physical activities such as exercising, painting, dance or any such activity that she may enjoy. This will keep her mind off the loss and she can recover to her usual self, both physically as well as psychologically.
[*][B]Meditate and practice yoga on a daily basis:[/B] Meditation and practicing yoga have been proved to be extremely beneficial during a miscarriage. Practicing both on a daily basis can increase blood flow and reduces anxiety attacks.
[*][B]Have multivitamins, vitamin-D3 and folic acid in case of hormonal changes:[/B] The mother can start consuming multivitamins based on doctor’s prescription post the loss. The doctors also recommend 5mg folic acid, three months before trying for another conception.
[*][B]Wait for at least three months before planning the next pregnancy:[/B] Most experts recommend that couples should wait for a minimum of three months before they try for another baby. This cooling-off period gives the mother’s body strength to be ready for another pregnancy, both physically and mentally.
