Topic : Pregnancy Loss

Hi all. 

I would just like to share our story with like minded people.  I am 37 and I found out that I was pregant in March. We was so excited, our first baby!!. We did all the blood tests, and scans, and all seemed well for our bub to be born on Christmas day.. In August I was a bridesmaid and looking pregant. The following week, I began to have cramps.  I thought that this was consipation, and thought nothing of it.  Little did I know that I was having contractions.  After beeing raced to the hospital, we found out that I was going to deliver our son, and doctors held out little hope of him surviving.  At 1.15am Saturday August 20, I gave birth to our son Kiefier.  Grayson and I held him close, he died 20 minuets later.  As sad as we was, we both realized one thing... we was parents for 20minuets. We are both sure that he knew this.  The hospital took a photo of our son, and gave us a momento of his birth. Grayson and I talked about our loss to each other, suported each other and are closer than ever.  We are determined to have a baby, and after christmas, we will try again.  

We are both excited by the prospect, and know, that even though we lost our son, at lest we know that we was parents, even if it was only for a little while.

Hi my baby Kailey was still born on January 26th 2005 and we are still trying to get pregnant again.  She was my second pregancy, my first was a misscarriage at 13 weeks.  I can relate to how you feel with your husband, as we struggle everyday.  Unfortunately we will never be the same people we were before we lost our babies, but know that your husband is there for you.  You will need his love and support to get through this preganacy, regardless of the outcome.   You should try to talk to your husband.  This pregancy isn't going to be easy, but it will be easier together.   The pain and loss you experienced will not go away, and this baby will not replace the void of your other angels, but the best gift you can give to them is to live you life in a way that will make them proud.   

what I find the hardest is to see through my pain, that my husband is greiving as well.     

I wish you the best with your pregancy.    

Hi, 

I am new to this board...I usually am on the weight group message board but I have a new struggle ahead and decided to look for support. I just lost my baby  4 days ago,at 11 weeks...This was my second pregnancy. I have a beautiful son from my first....i am lucky....I have read a few posts from here and I realize that my situation could be a lot worse. My heart goes out to all of you who have been through this...I am wondering....does it get easier? When I see tiny babies I want to scream....I am wondering how to pick up the pieces and try again....my ob said that I can try as soon as i have a normal cycle but with the terrible health care that I have received through this I am not sure I can try again. any advice from you is welcome.

     My boyfriend, Antonio and I didn’t even know for sure that I was pregnant until I lost the baby. I was eating like a pig, having back pain and no morning sickness. Antonio was rubbing my belly and talking to it and taking me to get all kinds of strange foods. I took a pregnancy test and it was negative. Antonio said that he knew it had to be wrong and we would take another a couple weeks down the road. Before I could take the second test I lost the baby. It took me a day or two to realize what had happened, I was at Antonio house and we looked the symptoms of a miscarriage and sure enough that was what had happened. We were getting use to the thought and looking forward to having a baby even though we would have had to deal with the drama of our parents because we are only 19. I have been crying off and on and I feel so empty inside. Antonio and I have decided not to name the baby but I'm not sure it I can have closure with out a name. What does everyone think? How do I deal?
