Hello Someone...This is a slow forum Thank God. I am posting just so that maybe someone who needs it can find support when their time comes. People don't like to talk much about 'loss' but when it is happening to you it sure can be helpful to hear others stories who have walked the road before you. My baby was born at 33 weeks 2 weeks ago. He was alive until shortly before pushing him out. He did not survive the labor. He wasn't expected to as he had numerous 'defects'. You can click on my profile for more info and please if you are going through this and need help feel free to message me as I know how awful it is and want to be a support if I can. xoxo

Hi ladies....... We lost our baby boy just 2 days after our 28 week ultrasound. He was delievered dec 22, 2009. It is very hard to go day by day without him here. As of now I am nearing 26 weeks with our daughter. Just two weeks away from our 28 week ultrasound and I am beginning to get very nervous. When I delivered our son we found he had 3 knots in his cord, The dr believed he may have moved too much or flipped too much. So everday I pray our little girl kicks me atleast 10 times but doesnt flip around too much. It is very hard for any parent to have to take this journey. I am sorry for all of you who are on this journey too and may god bless you and help you through.

Hello ladies. I am so sorry to read about all your losses:-( unfortunately i myself am part of this sister hood:-( i have suffered 3 still births.all between 26 and 28 weeks of pregnancy. After many tests it was discovered that i have a blood Clotting Disorder that required me to inject myself with blood thinners during pregnancy. I finally gave birth pre-Maturely to a baby boy at 33 weeks. He just turned 3 in january. I gave birth to another baby boy in june 2009. He was born prematurely at 28 weeks. He was in Nicu for two and a half months. He finally was discharged from hospital with no complications. Unfortunately at the age of 5 months on the 4 november 2009. I found my sound dead in his cot. It was SIDS. I was shattered. I still am. I doubt that i will ever get over it. Feels like i am being punished. To make matters worse, a week after Leigh's passing i discovered that i was pregnant again. Needles to say my pregnancy was stressful from the beginning. I finally gave birth to Zarah-Leigh at 33 weeks. She is now 7 and a half months old, and its anxiety all the way. I am taking it day by day. Its hard. . .

It's been exactly three weeks today since I've had my DD; she was stillborn. It feels like it just happen yesterday. I was 36 weeks and 2 days. I miss her so much. Feb 4 was my due date and it's coming up soon its going to be an extremely hard day for me. :( How did you ladies handle everything?? I feel like things will never get better. Out of all the people I know (eight girls I know including my self was pregnant at the sametime) I'm the only one who doesnt have their baby. Its so depressing!!! Is it possible to have post traumatic stress disorder after something like this? I want so badly to get pregnant again but that's not possible right now and plus I know that no one will ever replace my baby. I miss my baby so much!!!

Christmas Eve 2009 my daughter Holly was born sleeping at 38 weeks. Its been a hard year, but I am now 34 weeks pregnant with my son. I'm excited, sort of. I can't shake the feeling that he won't make it either, I'm just not really sure how I should act. The closer I get to 38 weeks, the more depressed I become.

I lost a baby at 23 weeks (after a miscarriage the same year) That was ten years ago for me but I remember it like yesterday. I am on the other side of the long dark tunnel. I live in the light now with two healthy sons. I know the pain and what it takes to heal. To a certain extent, I even think I know a bit of the why too. Now it's my passion to help other moms go through it- it makes my son's loss have more purpose. That's why I check this forum often. Please feel free to talk with me. Vent all your feelings or ask questions- anything. I will be praying for you all.

Avy~ the pain is unbearable and feeling alone is unfortinalty very normal. Often theis feeling lasts a while, and there is no real time frame that will cause it to pass. as it has been 2 month for me i am still smetimes randomly so overwhemled i have to pull over, or when i see a baby girl with a parent, or worse off when i see a baby girl with neglectful uncaring parents. it can be undescribale. I went to therapy with my husband, just one time to be able to get both our feelings out in the open and better understand who the other felt, as men tend to veiw this a whole differnt way. I have told many people that making excuses and saying this like it wasen't ment to be or the baby was sick. really hurts. sometime you just have to tell ppl. to F off. thats the truth. we cremated our baby and i had some friends give me awful looks. but when it comes down to it, we chose what was best for us and her. and i am glad we did it . everyne deals with grief differntly, but reaching out to someone supportive family friend therapy or stranger is crucial. You are not alone, no matter how alone you may feel.

I'm so sorry to read all your ladies stories, I know how you all feel, and its so very painful being apart of this devastating 'sister hood' If anyone would like to talk please let me know, I dnt know how I'm ever going to get threw this. No one seems to understand the pain I feel each and everyday, so lost with out my baby girl........ God Bless!

Losing a baby is so hard , the hardest thing i ever faced. We lost Annabella at 20 weeks, she was doing well until i started pushing. I had an incomplete cervix and i could literly feel her coming out and the sack of water was almost out before i got to the hospital. i was perfectly healthy and still am . She too was our first. It is extremly hard and even after 2 months i sometimes just break down. I send my love out to you wishing you strenght. it is hard but take it day by day. we were lucky and am now pregnant 3 weeks. we hope tis baby can hold on.

I just suffered losing my baby at 15 weeks 5 days. I created a page on facebook to get bring awarness and support to what I'm trying to do. I'm making beautiful matching bracelets for demise babies and their mothers. I'll be donating these to the local hospitals but am willing to donate them to anyone who has lost a baby or babies before - just asking for a small donation in return since this is all coming out of my pocket. http://www.facebook.com/Until.We.Meet.Again.Bracelets I hope to bring some comfort to ladies during a hard time that I've experienced twice. much love. xo

I am currently 25 weeks pregant. I lost a baby girl last April 09 at 26 weeks pregnant. I am so scared....yet thrilled that this pregnancy is going great. My baby was lost due to high blood pressure(check out my profile for all the details). Anywaysw my BP is perfect this time and there is loads of movement. I still miss my baby girl everyday....time has healed and I have learned to forgive. It was by far the hardest thing I ever had to deal with. Contact me if you want to chat.

My son Joshua was stillborn in december '08, at just 25 weeks. He should have been born in march '09 which means he should be 1 years in 2 weeks time, i miss him so much, and although we are TTC again i no that no-body will ever take my sons place :(. Although i've been told it is a very low chance that it will happen again, i'm scared of having to go through it again. Everyday i miss him more. My prayers are with all of you mums that have lost babies. God bless x
