well we got the dreaded call today to pick up r babys ashes how sad! it was just awful but ina way nice that i had the babs home with me :(

the doctor has gave me some diazapam which should help with the sleep patterns, i thought i was ok some days r better than others but how on earth do u get through this time.

i am off work as i dont feel emotionally ready to go back i work with some demanding and ignornant people and dont want to end up worse by going back .

i have an app with b midwife so i do hope she will help me.

thanks for reading off to bed hopefully to sleep

Oh my goodness - what a day for you... Thinking of you x Don't think about work yet, just take each day as it comes. Only you can decide if and when you're ready - you need to grieve. If you want to talk, message again tomor x

Hi I'm new to this but I would also like to say sorry and be kind to yourself. I lost my baby 7 weeks ago, no heartbeat was found at the twenty week scan.

When will I start to feel ok? I look ok and am back at work but all I think of all day long is my baby. I have ds17 and ds10 but I feel preoccupied in my thoughts all the time. I try to pretend I'm back to normal but I keep sneaking upstairs to cry. My husband has been great but I'm hiding my tears from him now too, so its nice to find this site and see that I'm not alone in this.

thanks everyone for all your kind replies i did manage to get a bit more sleep than normal.

i have ds 6 and ds 4 which does make it easier at times, but still i just feel so empty, i know everyone here is going through similar issues.

littlewish thats it i try to pretend i am ok but sometimes it so hard isnt it. pre occupies all the time is the feeling i have also.
