Just been told I've lost my baby

[stressedmumof1]

I've just been told I've lost my baby. I was 16 weeks and I just can't take it in Don't understand I've been bleeding for nearly a week and apparently my wombs nearly empty I knew as she was scanning me that something wasn't right cos she took ages. Really stupid of me but I didn't ask questions I now want answering I'm too numb to know what to do now

only just seen this thread stressed.
SO sorry to hear what you've been through. Really hope you get some support at work and from RL friends. Poor you, what a tragic and awful thing to have to go through.

my rl friends and all of you have been great. i think i am struggling during the day because i am sat here alone (even though i have mn) which is why going back to work is probably for the best at the mo

yes, I guess it will as least give you something else to think about.
If it's any consolation (and I'm not sure it is) my friend also lost her baby at 16 weeks. She then went on to have twins and then another one.

Hi stressedmum,

have just read through this thread. So sorry about all this - what a rotten time you're having.
Just one thing that occured to me, is there no way your partner could be brought home for you on compassionate leave, as you really need him so much now.
My dh used to be in the Navy (left 14 years ago though) and they were pretty useless when we needed help but I would have hoped that things would be better now.
Maybe SSAFA (the forces family organisation) could help. There website is here

stressedmum, im so sorry to hear what has happened, i lost my baby girl at 16 weeks 4 weeks ago and am still struggling to come to terms with what happened, i left hospital as quickly as possible too just wanted to get away from there, further investigation of the fetus showed no abnormality which in a away is more destressing as it gives no purpose to my loss, if you want someone to tal;k to feel free to cat me, have you manged to speak to anyone regarding this, ie hospital midfwife, i was just given a leaflet, no advice nothing, my hv hasnt even bothered to come and see me, dont be afraid to ask the medical profession for answrers and support.
