21 Comforting Quotes on Miscarriage and Pregnancy Loss

While medicines and doctors can help the body recover and heal, the heart needs its own time to grieve and make peace with the incident. Comfort, care, and strength are all necessary to let someone grieve and find their strength. Some comforting words of people who have experienced similar losses could be helpful at such times.
Motivational Quotes to Help Cope with Miscarriage and Pregnancy Loss
The event of losing a pregnancy or experiencing a miscarriage is extremely disturbing and troubling. These quotes can be helpful in expressing your emotions and helping you find your inner strength.
"Where you used to be, there is a hole in the world, which I find myself constantly walking around in the daytime, and falling in at night." - Edna St. Vincent Millay
“What my sister needed was not people urging her, as so many did, to get pregnant again as soon as possible, but acknowledgement of her loss and the violence that she experienced in that loss. She needed to know that this was not a failure or that she was a bad mother. She needed to be allowed to be not only sad but also, in her grief, to be angry.” - Soraya Chemaly
"Grief, I’ve learned, is really love. It’s all the love you want to give but cannot give. The more you loved someone, the more you grieve. All of that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes and in that part of your chest that gets an empty and hollow feeling. The happiness of love turns to sadness when unspent. Grief is just love with no place to go." - Jamie Anderson
“You never arrived in my arms, but you will never leave my heart.” - Zoe Clark-Coates
"In one of the stars, I shall be living. In one of them, I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing when you look at the sky at night . . . You—only you—will have stars that can laugh!" - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
“Throughout my life, there were a few hard days. Days where even when I tried to be happy, my heart still cracked, and Mother’s Day was one of those. For others, it stood as a celebration. For me, it spoke of loss and failure. Because there’s no such thing as an ‘almost’ Mother’s day.” - Brittainy Cherry
"Grief is like the ocean; it comes on waves ebbing and flowing. Sometimes the water is calm, and sometimes it is overwhelming. All we can do is learn to swim." - Vicki Harrison
“A mother is never defined by the number of children you can see, but by the love that she holds in her heart.” - Franchesca Cox
"Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart." - A. A. Milne
“The best advice that I got during counselling: Don't judge your spouse's grief response. Give them the freedom to grieve their own way.” - Rachel Crawford
“Your absence has gone through me like a thread through a needle. Everything I do is stitched with its colour.” - W. S. Merwin
“How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.” - Winnie the Pooh
"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched, but are felt in the heart." - Helen Keller
“There is no right way to grieve; there is only your way to grieve and that is different for everyone.” - Nathalie Himmelrich
“I held you every second of your life.” - Stephanie Paige Cole
“I didn’t want to kiss you goodbye, was the trouble. I wanted to kiss you goodnight, and there’s a lot of difference.” - Ernest Hemingway
"We each love someone, even though they will die. And we keep loving them, even when they are not there to love anymore." - Anne Enright
“Just because we lost a life, doesn't mean we have to lose ourselves.” - Tamara Gabriel
“Sometimes it's hard to see the rainbow when there's been endless days of rain.” - Christina Greer
“I’ll love for forever, I’ll like you for always, as long as I’m living, my baby you’ll be.” - Robert Munsch
"I carry your heart with me, I am never without it." - E. E. Cummings
Losing a child is always painful, whether due to a miscarriage or later in life. There is nothing that can bring your little baby back, but these spontaneous abortion quotes may give you some solace and be supportive to your healing process.

7 Surprising Reasons You're Not Reaching Orgasm
Research suggests that out of the majority of women, only 10 percent easily climax while others miss the chance to hit orgasm. That's a real downer! Read on to discover the reasons why you too may be having trouble reaching an orgasm.
Many women find it difficult to reach climax during sex. And there’s more to getting turned on than foreplay. Your mind needs to be at ease and focused on lovemaking. Well, find out about how you can catch up to that elusive orgasm with a few do’s and don’ts.
Some Reasons For Not Having An Orgasm
1. Sitting for long periods
Sitting at your desk for hours at a time may shorten the pelvic muscles, which in turn can induce pelvic pain and lead to orgasm problems. Get up after every 30 minutes, even if you’re very busy and stretch your muscles.
2. Being worried about your body
Always feel beautiful and you’ll automatically look beautiful. Don’t get embarrassed by your stretch marks, muffin top and varicose veins. Rather, flaunt what you love the most about yourself and gracefully embrace what you often reject.
3. Wearing high heels too often
As often as you can, try to stick to flat shoes. High heels aren’t good for your pelvis and psoas muscles, which connect with the genitals and pelvic floor. They cause contractions in the pelvic floor and make the muscles tense. So what’s supposed to arouse you, doesn’t.
4. Being too shy to enjoy sex
Dispel shyness and embrace your sexuality. You won’t be able to enjoy making love if you aren’t comfortable and confident. Make eye contact with your partner. It makes climaxing even more sensual and intimate.
5. Drinking too much
Your body needs enough water to stay hydrated and orgasm, not alcohol. If you’ve drank too much, it’s likely you won’t be able to enjoy sex. Since alcohol is a depressant for the central nervous system, you’ll find it hard to get aroused and climax.
6. You’re on medication
The principal culprits for orgasm problems in women are birth control pills, blood pressure medications and antidepressants. If you must take them, spend plenty of time with foreplay, indulge your fantasies and do everything possible to make sex enjoyable.
7. You’re low on oestrogen
Oestrogen levels begin to fall when a woman reaches her 40s and this eventually leads to a lower libido. It can also see less lubricated vaginal tissue that can sometimes cause discomfort during sex and consequently, a lack of female climax. Hormone replacement therapy or lubricants work wonderfully as sex aids in such situations.
8. Not taking the lead
Sometimes, work pressure and stress can deprive you of sexual pleasure. Well, take the lead and arouse your man through sensual massages and foreplay. Guide him during the act and let him know what turns you on. He’ll be only too pleased to please you!
No orgasm during sex isn’t always a big issue. In fact, for many, it’s the act and not the end that matters. But if you can’t orgasm and it’s bothering you, try to eliminate these don’ts and incorporate more dos. You’ll find it a lot easier to build up your arousal and finally climax. Read more

Copy of – Eye Infection in Babies – Types, Symptoms and Treatment
There are many eye conditions that could affect your little one, eye infection being one of them. Eye infection are common in babies. If you notice that your baby’s eyes are crusty, gunky or red, it could be an eye infection, triggered by an allergy or irritation.
Types of Eye Infection in Babies
Here are some common types of eye infection:
1. Sty
If your child has a red bump on his eyelid, it’s possible a sty.
Symptoms
The bump is tender and filled with pus. You may also see white or yellow discharge from your baby’s eyes.
Causes
It happens when bacteria infect an oil gland which is present at the base of the eyelash. It is by no means serious but still should be treated before anything more serious happens.
Treatment
Apply a Warm Compress
Soak a clean cloth in warm water and press it against your baby’s eyes for 15 minutes. The heat will open the pus and help it drain faster. Repeat this procedure 4 times a day. Don’t pop or squeeze the sty to drain the pus. This will cause more pain to your little one and also transfer bacteria from your hands to his eyes.
2. Pinkeye/Conjunctivitis
Conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the thin tissue covering the white part of the eye and the inside of the eyelids.
Symptoms
If the whites or rims of your baby’s eyes are red, it could be pinkeye or conjunctivitis.
Causes
Viral Eye Infection
If your baby has a cold along with pinkeye, it is usually due to a virus.
Bacterial Eye Infection
If you notice a thick yellow discharge in your baby’s eyes, it could be due to an infection by bacteria such as staphylococcus, streptococcus or Haemophilus.
Allergic Reactions
This is a rare cause, but your baby might be allergic to smoke, dust or any other allergen, especially if the eyes are swollen, red and watery.
Treatment
Conjunctivitis heals on its own if it is a viral condition. Your baby’s paediatrician will tell you to keep your baby’s eyes clean. If the condition persists beyond two weeks, it’s better to consult the doctor again.
3. Chalazion
A chalazion is a lump or cyst which forms on the eyelid.
Symptoms
It can start small but grow big as a pea. Unlike a sty, it doesn’t produce discharge and isn’t contagious or painful. However, it can blur your baby’s vision.
Causes
A chalazion is due to chronic inflammation of one of the oil-producing glands located in the upper or lower eyelid.
Treatment
Administer OTC Medication
Never squeeze a chalazion. Use antibiotics and ointments prescribed by the paediatrician.
Apply a Warm Compress
This can help soften the duct blocked with oil and cause drainage of the pus. Press a warm, wet compress against the affected area for 15 minutes; repeat this process 4 times a day.
Seek Medical Help
Consult an ophthalmologist if the chalazion doesn’t go away even after a warm compress. Your baby may need an injection or a surgical procedure to remove it.
4. Periorbital and Orbital Cellulitis
If your baby’s eyes are red and swollen shut, it could be because of periorbital or orbital cellulitis.
Symptoms
These include fever, runny nose and conjunctivitis, malaise, and impaired ocular movements.
Causes
This is a serious bacterial eye infection in infants which happens when harmful bacteria enter the eye. It can affect one eye or both.
Treatment
Consult your baby’s doctor immediately. He will examine your baby’s eyes using cultures, blood tests, and X-ray tests and prescribe ointments or an injection to clear the infection. It usually goes away in 2 days, but you can give your baby the antibiotics until the doctor tells you to stop.
5. Blepharitis
If your baby’s eyelids are inflamed and watery, red and irritated, it may be because of blepharitis.
Symptoms
The eyelashes may fall off if another infection happens alongside blepharitis.
Causes
Blepharitis is due to overproduction of oil in the eyelid or bacterial infection. It does not cause any vision problem but may be followed by a sty, chalazion or conjunctivitis if not treated in time.
Treatment
Consult your doctor to be doubly sure. After that, you can use saline solutions or baby shampoos to wash your baby’s eyes, followed by antibiotic drops and a warm compress.
6. Blocked Tear Ducts
As the name suggests, it happens when the tear ducts are blocked due to fluids and become swollen.
Symptoms
If you see lots of sticky discharge that glues your baby’s eyes shut and eyelashes together, it can be due to a blocked tear duct.
Causes
When the baby is inside your uterus, the tissue within the tear duct usually dissolves and leaves a hollow core. If that doesn’t happen, the tissue may remain and block the duct.
Treatment
Usually, a blocked duct opens on its own, and the discharge will go away with time. You can use warm water to wet cloth in water to clean the discharge from your baby’s eyes. If the condition still persists when your baby is 12-18 months old, consult a doctor as she or he may need surgery.
Home Remedies for Eye Infection in Infants
Here are some effective home remedies to treat your baby’s eye infection:
Add some salt to boiling water and allow it to cool down. Dip a cotton ball into this mixture and place it on your baby’s eyelid for relief.
If the eye infection is due to a blocked tear duct, gently massage the area between the eyes and the nasal area.
A bacterial eye infection can only be treated with ointments or antibiotic drops. However, you can clean the sticky yellow discharge around your infant’s eyes with saltwater eye drops.
Using a warm compress on your baby’s eyes reduces irritation and swelling.
It is extremely important to wash and sanitise your hands before and after touching your infant’s infected eyes.
The above-mentioned home remedies are effective, but it’s always better to consult your paediatrician when an eye infection develops. During such times, keep your infant away from other children.
