I think we have had this title before but it seems appropriate for spring

I have started this thread in honour of all our children but particularly Fraser who would have been 7 today. Happy birthday son we still miss you dearly. You will always be our firstborn and we always remember you in our hearts

Bluetinkerbell so sorry to hear that, and sorry that you find yourself on this thread. Can I ask is your baby a boy or a girl?
I gave birth to my baby 7 weeks ago she was stillborn and 36 weeks. It is sad but this thread has been a life line.

greenzebra · 18/06/2011 20:21

cheese i hear ya! wish it was me. It will be soon, Im sure it will happen for the both of us.

Bluetinkerbell · 18/06/2011 20:36

We don't know yet... :( they stopped scanning after they couldn't find a heartbeat.
We will have to wait until the little one is born...
We already had a boy's name, and I have chosen a girl's name that I liked (before I met DH, I am Belgian) but could never give our baby because it's doesn't work in English.
Boy will be Noah.
Girl will be Sterre.

blue I'm glad you found us over here and hope we can be a support to you. I'm very conscience that we were on the same antenatal thread so please tell me if you ever need me to be quiet over here.

I made Belle her birthday card today. I'm not sure if that is weird or not, but I needed her to have one. Going to wrap Jon's father's day gifts in a moment; I hope he likes them and I've done the right thing, I didn't know what to do, but he is a Daddy and he should have it marked like every other father, just hope I don't upset him - I've got him a handprint charm with Belle's handprint like I wear on my bracelet, thought he could have a keyring and carry a little bit of her around with him like I do.

Tired tonight.

Hi Caz ! Please don't be quiet about Xander! I wouldn't want anyone to be not talking about their own children because of the loss of mine...
I have a friend in church who is 13 weeks pregnant, we went to the Babyshow in Birmingham together. She has sent me a few text to ask how I am doing. I was happy she did.
I know it will be hard once her little one will be born, as we were planning on doing lots of things together, but I'll deal with that once that time will come.

Oh blue I'm so sorry! Sad. I'm glad you have found the thread! We have all been through tragedies and are trying to help one another get through these tough times! Look after yourself my thoughts are with you and your family!! Xx

Bluetinkerbell · 19/06/2011 22:38

Thank-you! We're in the hospital still waiting to meet our baby.
My waters broke this afternoon and had heavy contractions but has all stopped again... morphine has worn out but no longer in pain

CazandBelle · 19/06/2011 23:51

Thinking of you blue - this time exactly last year I was in the same place as you. The waiting is so hard. I hope your little one arrives soon xx

A year, I still cannot get over it being a year. We've planned out the next two days now, DH has booked Mon and Tues off so we can be together in the run up to and on Belle's birthday. Hoping the weather is ok at midnight tomorrow, we want to send off chinese lanterns on the mountain into the night at 00:08 as we go into Tuesday, the minute when Belle was born.

Hope F Day was as peaceful for all of you and your other halves as it could be. Ours has been ok. So very different to last year as I was in hospital and finally went into labour at 7pm. Belle missed being born on F day by 8 minutes!

caz your plans for Bells's birhday sound perfect, i really hope the day is gentle on you both.x

Bluetinkerbell · 20/06/2011 09:45

Hi all,

I gave birth to Sterre at 7.40.
Our beautiful baby sat ready to come out when they examined me. (S)he was just perfect and oh so tiny.
I'm on a drip now as placenta is playing hide and seek so not leaving here yet.
feel very calm and peaceful.
it was all part of God's big plans for me. I saw it all very clearly yesterday why this needed to happen to me!
thanks all for your kind support it means a lot to me

shakeyjake · 20/06/2011 13:29

spilttheteaagain · 20/06/2011 15:37

blue so sorry to hear about the loss of little Sterre. You sound like you are doing so well. I hope the placenta has come out without too much difficulty and you are able to rest and recover now. Take care of yourself x

gingegirl · 20/06/2011 18:06

It's good to talk especially to mums who know what you are going through!! My circumstances are different however I'm feeling for you!! Love to you and your husband/ partner xx

shabbapinkfrog · 20/06/2011 18:13

Sorry to hear such sad news. xxx

CheeseandGherkins · 20/06/2011 18:16

blue so sorry :( my thoughts are with you. No words can take away the pain. Stay strong and keep talking xxx

caz your plans sound beautiful xx

Had a really bad couple of days, especially yesterday; dh also had a bad one yesterday. I feel so down. One more thing to add to the crap that is my life is that I don't know if I'm even ovulating now. Day 20 of my cycle and still nothing on the clearblue fertility monitor other than medium readings. I was so sure today would be a high and then hopefully a peak but nothing. I'm dreading the next few days in case it starts to decline again. I haven't felt this bad in a while :(

CazandBelle · 20/06/2011 19:17

:( it needs to stop raining. If it doesn't stop raining we won't be able to send the lanterns into the night at 00:08 when Belle was born.

Bluetinkerbell · 20/06/2011 21:52

Please stop rain! Belle needs her lights to shine!
