Remembering a baby daughter

[FourLittleDucks]

I'm 35wks pregnant with DD4.
4.5yrs ago, at 35wks pregnant with DD2, I gave birth to a daughter that I knew wouldn't live, and she died just an hour later.
DD1 is 6, DD3 is 3.

I suppose I just wanted to say her name out loud - Bethan.

I guess I'm looking for other mums who have been through this sort of thing, and understand the poignancy/joy/heartache of subsequent babies.
I didn't use the SANDS website very much, but I find I miss it a bit at the moment.

This is my first post in this thread - nice to have you.

Bethan is such a lovely name.

I'm so sorry for your loss, wishing you a peaceful and joyful birth.
Will be thinking of your lovely daughter Bethany. x x

I'm so sorry lunatic, I crossposted. Thinking of your precious flower Daisy as well. x x

Hi

Rolling up to hear you talk about Bethan.

I'm 21wks pg with DD3. DD2, Niamh, was stilborn at term last June we had no idea anything was wrong until I was in labour and they couldn't find a heartbeat.

Its incredible how we can talk for days about our babies we only had for hours - so few people met Niamh I find it helps me remember she was real.

I understand you wanting to say Bethan's name, especially at the moment. I too love the names Bethan and Daisy.

DD1 - Emma died at 8 days old.

I went on to have 5 more DCs (4 girls 1 boy,) but nothing takes away that gut wrench of Emma dying. It was always difficult being pregnant. I seemed to "relive" the first pregnancy each time and was basically a miserable cow being until I held a healthy baby. DD4 was the hardest as her due date was exactly the same as DD1s was, so everything seemed to be repeating even more so.

I wish you well and I really hope and pray that you have a trouble free next few weeks and hold a healthy DD soon.

What a beautiful name. I lost my daughter shortly after her birth. I MCd not long after. I am sorry I can't give you advice but wanted you to know that SANDS is back online.
