Bereavement

poem to my baby

Just a few lines of what i have been feeling feel a bit stupid as poetry just is not me but hey felt better after writing feeling down so i suppose it is just whatever works.

I had imagined our life together joyful and carefree,
A luxury known only to a hopeful mum to be,
A loving and yearning deep within my heart,
But before birth god chose for you to depart,
Within my heart there is despair and yet,
My love for you I wish never to forget,
And so I sit, wonder and dream,
Of you my child and what might have been.

Don't feel stupid, Dyzzidi, it's a lovely poem and it comes from your heart. You will always feel that love.

What happened to your baby? Sorry if you've posted your story before.

Been trying for years am on the waiting list for IVF and got pregnant at 11 weeks had a missed miscarriage when DH was in the states for work. we so wanted a baby and just feel cheated. Going to try again soon but am not hopeful as hospital said not to bother last time and were even less hopeful this time. Also found I have a bicornuate uterus so am at higher risk of miscarriage and am not sure if this will affect IVF

Dyzzidi - I'm so sorry for you. Please don't give up - I think there are some women on here that have a bicornuate uterus too so maybe they'll have some words of wisdom.

My friend was in exactly the same situation as you Dyzzidi. I really feel for you.

Don't think I will ever give up is is just so hard. Feel drained at the thought of more doctors possibly more surgery and the IVF as well but it will be worth it one day.

Trying to keep cheerful but it is difficult when DH is working in France at the moment and when its quiet you get more time to think.

Dyzzidi - I can't imagine what you are going through but you've just got to keep positive. It must be so hard with dh away but we are all here for you - there must be lots of women on here going through similar situations that can give you support.

Just never give up.

Just read your message and want to send you a huge hug, and lots of courage to go on, you must if in your heart its what you want. My story as most of you know is different, but I feel your pain as I lost my child when he was 14. Had three ivf attempts and had triplets, 2 boys and a girl at 46 using donated eggs..........I just had to keep trying, my life was so empty. I too wrote alot of poems after Matthew died, one of the first was just a few lines that really just came into my head, it was around the time that we were ordering a headstone, even now I can`t bring myself to think of it as HIS headstone, it hurts so much. Anyway this was my poem which has gone onto the headstone

Our baby grew, our son has flown
Away from us, our lives, his home
Fly high my child,fly high
But know our love, will never die

Another little one was

Round and round and round my head
Endless thoughts of you
Round and round and round my head
Things we used to do
Round and round and round my head
Forever asking WHY?
Round and round and round my head
Until I start to cry.

God Bless xxxxxxxxx
