Friend just lost her baby at 38 weeks

[Sugarmagnolia]

My friend's 3rd child was due next week and I've just found out that the baby was stillborn. I don't know exactly what happened as the family aren't really talking to anyone at the moment and don't want any visitors. I'm thinking of dropping off a card and some food later today (will just leave it on the doorstep as I want to respect their privacy). It's just too sad for words I thought maybe sharing it here I might find some comfort.

I'm not on msn or yahoo and my e mail addy has my full name in it otherwise I'd post it here for you.

Thanks for the offer.

Can i try to catch up with you tomorrow???

Is that ok?

If i carry on now, i'll never sleep.

Need to be up for my children in the morning.

How do i cat you??

Have never done this before!!!!

Ok you probably haven't paid the 5 pound fee, don't worry I can cat you, it just means contact another talker it's at the head of each page. I'll cat you tomorrow, if that's ok with you and can I just say your post was so thoughtful and considerate to the originl poster. Try and get somw sleep and will catch up with you tomorrow. Night night hun x

Thank you for your hugs MwaHaHaMhamai and Fussymummy... i'd also like to chat with you if you don't mind? I feel very much the same as you. I didn't have conselling and just dealt with it in my own way, but now realise, it wasn't the most sensible thing to do!
Do hope you're feeling a little brighter today x

Bump for sugarmagnolia
Sorry about the hi jack
Sorry to hear about your friend

such sad news.

I just wanted to add my bit Sugarmagnolia - I am so sorry for your friend - what a nightmare for her. My babies were stillborn at 26 weeks and 16 weeks and I am reeling from the experience. I imagine even worse at that stage of the pregnancy.

I am very willing to share any thoughts or ideas or help in any way I can. Please feel free to contact me either here or CAT. That's the same for you too fussymummy. It is a terrible thing to have to go through and if any of us can help each other in any small way then that has to be good.

thanks for all the sympathy - and don't worry about the hijack. So sorry for you too fussymummy & womba. How terrible. I've found out a bit more about what happened to my friend and from what I've heard SHE's lucky to be alive so we're so thankful for that. Physically I think she's ok now - getting stronger anyway. But mentally & emotionally who knows how long it will take. There was a death notice in the paper at the weekend and seeing it in print, with his name, was really hard.

and so sorry for you too dhwhoooooooo
