Losing a baby

Born Sleeping

Hi, I have just lost my son in labour at 41 weeks + 5 days on 27th Sept 07. It hurts like nothing I have ever experienced. I used this website to chat to other mums and learning and share ideas all during my pregnancy and now it feels surreal to be on here sharing my grief. Its hard, the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I dont know if there is anyone else out there who has had a similar circumtance, I hope not as its dreadful but would appreciate someone to talk to. I miss and yearn my baby Jonathan so much.

Hi, Thank you for your reply. I would very much like to chat with you and hope that we could possibly heal each other. I didnt expect to get a reply on this website as its more for pregnancy and births but I am so glad I have. The days are meaningless at the moment and me and my partner have no motivation at all. We have so much to organise with the funeral etc. but it sickens me to do it all when it should be so different. I hope to hear from you soon and can pass on my email address if you would prefer to chat that way. Thanks again x

i lost my baby girl at 34 weeks in january this year, although its ten months ago i cry for her every night.
im now pregnant again and feel so guilty.
if u would like to chat im always on this website, talking to pregnant girls about my bump, and to mummys of little angels, to share my grief.

take care
and you should talk about ur feeling for your baby, make him part of your life.
i light a candle for my baby every day.
i was also given a 2 the same necklaces off somebody who went through the same 40 years ago, and when i buried my baby girl i put eh nacklace in her coffin with her.i never take this necklace off, its always with meand means so much to me

i also lost my son he would of been 10yrs old now i still think of him every day i also have a necklace on with an angel on which i will never take off or get rid of, since then i have had 3 children which i love dearly but i will never forget my matthew. He wasnt full term but i had to give birth and i got to hold his little body and still now 10yrs later i dont forget what he looks like. I find that a lot of people dont like to talk about him as they think i will get upset, but i get upset not talking about him because he was my little baby and will never forget. i'm here for anyone who wants to talk about there little angels or about anything else.

HELLO, I HAVE ALSO LOST A BABY. I WAS ONLY 12 WEEKS PREGNANT WHEN THEY FOUND A MOJOR PROBLEM WITH THE HEART - TURNERS SYMDROME. I WAS IN PIECES, BUT I SUPPOSE THE PAIN GETS A BIT EASIER. THE WAY I GOT THROUGH WAS TO KEEP SAYING TO MYSELF IT JUST WASN'T MEANT TO BE, A THAT MY BABY ISNT GOING TO SUFFER ANYMORE.I HAD TO HAVE AN ABORTION - IF I CARRIED ON WITH THE PREGNANCY, BABY WOULD HAVE DIED ALMOST INSTANTLY AND IN A LOT OF PAIN. I HAVE TWO BEAUTIFUL GIRLS, BUT I NEVER FORGET MY FIRST. SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN A GIRL AND WOULD HAVE BEEN CALLED CLOE.

Hi there, I lost my daughter 4 years ago on 29th october just gone. i was 37 weeks and 5 days. when she was born she was perfect. nothing wrong with her except she didnt cry. i really do feel for you as not a day goes by when i dont think about her. i always buy her things and talk about her all the time. I now have 2 lovely children, Oliver(14mths) and Isabel(8 weeks).i miss her so much and i will never forget her.
