My beautiful baby

That's it really. Heading to hospital this morning to have my baby girl induced. Her heartbeat stopped somewhere between Sunday night and Monday morning at 27 weeks and I just can't bear it. She was our joy and our sunshine after two miscarriages and now I have to say goodbye to her today and I just don't know where I am going to find the strength.

I lit a candle for your baby girl tonight. Sending you strength for the coming days. I have found sometimes that the darkest days pass in a kind of blur, give yourself time, it might be a while before it all hits you.

So so sorry Miami. Sending love and strength x

I lost my darling boy Harry at 26 weeks. Labour was hard, the induction took forever and it was around 28 hours from start to delivery and take whatever pain relief you feel you need. One comfort I hope I can share with you is that don't be worried about seeing/holding your baby - I was very worried about seeing him, and my instinct took over and I more or less grabbed him off the midwife. Every second you have with your baby will be very precious - take lots of photos and imprint these memories in your mind. It's the weirdest most surreal feeling imaginable, it's a shitty cruel senseless horrid path to walk but I can also promise you that life does go on, there will be sunshine again and it does get better. You're not alone, there are a lot of us who have walked in your shoes and reaching out for support is a really brave and positive step. Wishing you much strength for the hours and days ahead xx

Oh Miami81 you've been in my and DH's thoughts every day this past week. I'm so sorry for your loss! It's heartbreaking.

You are handling it with such grace, I hope you're getting lots of real life support around you. Please take care of yourself and take time to grieve your beautiful little girl. You've done the very best you could for her throughout her short life and it's just heartbreaking that you didn't get longer with her.

I know there are myriad ways to make a family and I hope someday you'll get your dream family and a rainbow child, but you'll always remember this precious little girl. Stay strong through the next few days and get as many cuddles as you can with her. Flowers

FeedMyFaceWithBattenberg · 28/09/2017 13:02

@Miami81 I've been thinking about you and your beautiful family this week after hearing your devastating news. I know all of our thoughts will continue to be with you through this tough time and going forwards. You have been a lovely person to get to know, however impersonally over the internet, and I will always wish you happiness in the future. I'll be thinking of you on our EDD as I know it will be hard, and I will be so sad we're not counting down together.
Love always x

Chamonix1 · 28/09/2017 14:36

Just wanted to echo that I've been thinking of you and your husband daily since you posted about your devastating loss.
I will continue to keep you in my thoughts.
I really do hope you are getting all the support you possibly can and are being as kind to yourself as you deserve.

Thinking of you and your family Miami81. Heartbreaking and heartbreaking reading about the loss of other much loved babies.

I am so sorry. I hope you have a great supportive team surrounding you.

Miami81 · 28/09/2017 14:51

Thank you all for your help, thoughts, candles over yesterday.
Eilidh was born at 2.56am this morning and she is here with us now. Her dad is having a small cuddle now. We are trying to just take as much of her in as possible.
