We spent this morning in hospital, dh, dd age 2y9m and me, because I am miscarrying at 7w. I wouldn't have chosen to bring dd, but we had no choice. I am so glad she was with us, because throughout it all I only had to look at her and she gave me strength and courage. And to be able to hold her and laugh with her made me feel so much better.

PrettyCandles - nothing to say to help, but my thoughts are with you, your dh and your beautiful, darling daughter.

Sorry to hear about your miscarriage, I know my DS gave me strength as well when I had my miscarriage. Take care.

Prettycandles - I lost my baby at 7 weeks and I found no end of comfort from my sons. They are a real blessing.
I am thinking of you, and your family. Look after yourself, Hun XXX

PC-so sorry to hear that you are having to go through a m/c,its a terribly heartbreaking thing and i completely know what its like to go through.x(lots of love and hugs to you and your family.x)
You are definatly right,you should feel very blessed.....the babies that survive are a true blessing,and i think that at times like these people with children must realise that what they already have is so precious and special.x
I have not yet become a mum to a live baby yet(sorry to put it that way),as i had a stillborn at 33weeks in may,and then a miscarriage in september......i still 'feel' like i am a mum though to my babies,especially to my first born as i had to give birth to him and kept him with me over night(he was born at 6mins past midnight).
Give your little girl lots of hugs and kisses everyday,and tell her how much you love her,and i really hope you can get through this difficult time with the love and support your family can bring,best wishes to you.x.x.x.x.x

Wannabump, how awful for you. I wish I could 'make it better'. I can only imagine how I would feel if I had gone through this without children. You are right - your body knows that you are a mum, and that is something that you will never lose.
