2nd stillbirth in 6 months. In shock.

Had stillbirth at end of november - at 25 weeks. Got pregnant again 2 months later and went for 16 week scan this morning to be told this baby has died too. Am in shock but devestated - seems so unfair to happen twice in a row.

That's it really - just wanted to tell someone. I have to give birth on Wednesday.

I have felt like such a lucky person all my life and at the moment am feeling bloody unlucky and don't quite know what to make of it.

whereas in november I always knew i'd have another baby, this time I just don't know if I could go through pregnancy again. Am feeling pretty grim about the whole thing to be honest.

thanks so much for truly lovely messages - mumsnet quite bowls me over when the chips are really down!

Feeling very calm today and focussed - know we are strong enough to get through this. Just hope they are able to give us some idea why this has happened - it can't possibly be a coincidence again.

Tomorrow will be grim, but at least it's a thing which has a beginning and an end. What worries me is the sadness, the difficulty in having to tell everyone i know, people not knowing what to say to me, the unanswered questions that await me. I have no idea how long my feeling of loss will last - it's just so gutting. I had so much hope pinned on this baby - that it was going to make right all that went wrong 6 months ago.

Anyway, thank you to lovely mumsnetters who show they care - really do appreciate your thoughts and kind words.

I'll no doubt be back ranting on MN in a couple of days!

Thanks
DHW
