SO MAD!!
I am just so mad. In my town, our local drug store takes payments for our utility, phone and cable companies. I went to pay my bills and as I walked out there was a girl standing by my car, probably about 17 or 18 and about 9 months pregnant SMOKING A CIGARETTE!!! I just was shaking with anger. Why??? WHY would God allow someone like her to carry a baby to term when she has no more respect for her child's life and health than that and I have lost 2 doing every possible thing I could to keep them and myself safe and healthy.It is so unfair and makes me sick. I don't think I will ever be able to look at people in these circumstances and similar ones with a feeling of anger and resentment.I just don't get it.

Jenny, I get very angry and concerned, too, when I see pregnant women smoking or drinking, or mothers smoking near their babies. It's just maddening.
When I was in the maternity center after giving birth to my son, hubby told me there was a very pregnant girl (she was in a slow labor, apparently) who was outside smoking cigarettes. Thankfully, now that center has no smoking anywhere on it's campus for anyone.
Anyhoooo, Jen, you asked me a question on my blog about having the D&C. The miscarriage was a chromosonal defect of the baby. The D&C was needed because my body still thought I was pregnant and just kept pumping more and more blood to the uterus to keep the pregnancy. Unfortunately, the baby was already dead and out. I was really clotty, too, but my operating doctor did a great job and really cleaned me out good. I'm just guessing here, but I think you had to return for another D&C because you still had some sort of residual placenta or something triggering the need for blood to flow more strongly to your uterus.
Now, my biggest concern is any scarring I may have in my uterus because of the D&C AND a possible weak cervix. All of which can cause another miscarriage (and later ones at that).
I see the doctor today for the first time in this pregnancy. I have to remember to ask him these questions. I'll pass on his answers to me about the scarring and weak cervix, since I'm sure they'll be of interest to you.

I know what you mean. It seems like everyone that doesn't want a baby can have one, but those of us that truly want children have a hard time. I try to not get upset about it... but it still hurts to see things like that.
