Your must be going through a lot of emotions, ranging from guilt, regret, sense of loss, helplessness, sadness, irritation, hopelessness, anxiety, fear etc; if you are mentally, emotionally and physically stable it will be easier for you to find ways to conceive with the help of your gynaecologist.
Right now you will have to look at taking a break from pushing yourself harder and harder to have a baby. To begin with you need to take care of your emotions, with the help of a psychologist who would provide you with the necessary tools to cope up with your traumatic experiences. You might also need to see a psychiatrist in order to get the medical help sometimes required to deal with anxiety depression and trauma. Do not feel the pressure from anywhere I.e, family, friends or from your own self. Step by step you will be able to come out of your losses and hopefully have a child.
Wish you all the best!

Hi there,
The moment you notice you are pregnant,you would have started imagining your baby looks, features, colour, what you want to make out of him or her...
It's natural and spontaneous to get connected with the baby since day one...
I understand you have gone through this trauma thrice, it would have been very terrible for you....
I suggest you to meet a psychiatrist more than a psychologist because now you need medication to calm your mind and make you come out of your agony....
It's better for you to take medication for few days untill you come to terms with your own self....
Don't worry all psychiatric medicines are safe and works wonder to make you better...
And don't worry about the loss as your gynaecologist will surely help you out to conceive as there are many means these days to have a baby....
Those miscarriages you had earlier are not destined to be your children.... That's all!!!!
Have faith and have hope you will for sure give birth to a beautiful baby....
Stay strong....
Keep trying....
God bless....
Next Steps
Consult a professional psychiatrist asap...

The loss associated with a miscarriage can be devastating for some people. Even if your pregnancy ended early, you might still feel a strong bond to the baby you lost. Feelings of sadness, anger, and guilt over the loss of the pregnancy are common after a miscarriage. Insecurities follow thereafter.
Many women who’ve had a miscarriage also go on to have successful pregnancies later in life. Trust your gynae and maintain a healthy lifestyle alongwith being emotionally strong and healthy.
Next Steps
You might need:
1. antidepressant medications to help balance chemicals in the brain and alleviate depressive symptoms
2. psychotherapy to help you work through your emotions and cope with your grief in a healthy way.
Health Tips
Eating a balanced diet, getting enough sleep, and exercising regularly can also help increase your energy level and ward off symptoms. Men and women may express their grief differently, so it’s important to be respectful of each other’s emotions and ways of coping with the loss. Couples should also focus on communicating clearly and sharing their emotions with one another regularly.
