Hi all,

I think I knew this deep down when we went for check up today but our little girl's heart has stopped beating. We're obviously devastated, we tried to never give up hope although the odds were stacked against us after last week and in many ways were against us from the time of the extremely high nuchal (6.7mm). There is some comfort in knowing that she is not suffering now - she put up a real fight. In a way, it seems fairer to loose her now rather than prolong the agony for everyone or have to make a difficult decision in a few weeks time.

The midwives who've looked after us have been lovely and one in particular a real angel. Got to go to hospital tomorrow to start the process of delivery.

Hopefully we will be able to get some answers in the weeks to come as to why this happened.

I don;t know your back story or anything, but wanted to say that I am very sorry for the loss of your little girl.

Take care of yourselves and take every day as it comes.

I'm sorry Sad

Clare, I remember your posts from earlier threads. I'm so sorry for your loss. To have reassurance with testing and scans and then have this blow must be shocking and devastating. How incredibly brave you are. Wishing you and your family much strength and comfort through these next few days and weeks.

zippy539 · 02/11/2010 21:48

So, so sorry. Don't have the words really. Will be thinking of you tomorrow - hold your little girl, tell her everything you need to, don't be rushed and look after yourselves.

sharbie · 02/11/2010 21:53

so sorry to hear this x

Pancakeflipper · 02/11/2010 22:03

That is sad news. I have read your other posts and been hoping.

What a lucky little girl she is to have a mummy like you to love her always. She will always be your beautiful baby girl.

Take care of you. Thinking of you..

katiecubs · 02/11/2010 22:05

So sorry Clare, i'm thinking of you and your family. Take good care of yourself xxx

ClareZee · 02/11/2010 22:22

Thanks for all your kind messages. This board has been a constant source of support for us over the last two months.

In hindsight, you can actually see raised nuchal on our 10 week dating scan photo, although they wouldn't have told us this at the time as it's too early to tell for definite and we knew nothing about ultrasound scans at that time. Sadly today we could see there was no heartbeat before it was confirmed as it feels like we've had so many now. It seems something was up from very early on though. Just hope they will be able to tell us what it was.
