Have you ever experienced the sadness and support of "the miscarriage club"?

When Julie Pron found out she was pregnant with a third child, she was surprised. She wrote about the experience on her blog Just Precious to help herself embrace the baby she didn't expect so soon. The calm and acceptance she felt was overturned soon after when Julie says she was suddenly welcomed into an exclusive club of women who have miscarried.

The support Julie she found there was critical, not only in mourning the loss of the pregnancy that didn't fit in with her normal "planner" personality.Interacting with other women who understood what she was going through also helped her to move on from miscarriage.

Julie says her priorities and mindset shifted, helping her to see more clearly what her responsibilities as a mother and wife are, to pursue new professional opportunities, and for one wonderful gift born out of the shock, grief, and loss.
