Miscarriage

Yesterday, I had a miscarriage. I have never miscarried before and have never had any bleeding with my other pregnancies.

The question, "Why?", keeps haunting me.

I did several things yesterday I don't normally do. I fell off the 100% raw diet wagon and ate cooked food (too much). I took the advice of Beverly from the nutrition seminar (not blaming her) and ate some dairy. The doubt sets in and you question if you are getting what you need for the pregnancy. Coupled with temptation, pregnancy can make you very weak.

I also have not been taking it easy. I weight lifted yesterday and on Tuesday I ran my regular 3 miles (in record time of 36 mins!). I wanted to take a nap, but didn't.

And with this pregnancy, I have had pressure on my cervix, like when you are nine months pregnant. Part of me was worried that something was wrong.

Intellectually, I feel a 100% raw vegan diet is not only sufficient but optimal for the health of the mother and baby. In my other pregnancies, raw almonds saved me from low blood sugar and dizziness.

Jinjee from TheGardenDiet.com has had her last two of five children Raw, and raves about the benefits of a raw pregnancy. I'm going to buy her ebook today!

You have some good comments already. You have been trying very hard to do the right things for your health, you know that. Your midwife gave wise words. I understand it is not easy to go through this.

We live in a fallen world, in the "enemy-occupied territory" as C.S. Lewis said. It is very hard to be hit with the realization we cannot fully control everything in our lives. The key is how to handle the doses of humility we receive - if we seek God, He will be our life.
