Judy, many many women miscarry and they are not evil. Your thoughts are really getting irrational though this loss and grieving. You do not have anything evil in you. You did a really brave thing by going off medication when you were pregnant. Some times even in the most healthy women miscarriages occur. I can't remember the statistics off hand, but lots and lots of women miscarry and most of those go on in later pregnancies to give birth to healthy babies. Probably the baby had a malformation and wouldn't have been able to come to full term.
At least get on the internet and read about miscarriages. Find out how common they are, how much loss people feel--you will realize that you are not alone, and despite doing everything right, it just happens. And it is very hard not to blame yourself, but it is not your fault. Shellie
