Oh AliceRR I'm so so sorry about your baby girl. What a beautiful name. I'm glad you've been able to spend some time with her and have some precious memories. Be kind to yourself xxx

Ruby is a beautiful name, I can only echo the others... be good to yourselves. Life is so unfair ☹️

Thinking of you x

Oh god Alice, I'm so sorry. I'm in tears for you and your beautiful girl. I don't know what else to say but please look after yourself the best you can and ask for help whenever you need it. We are all thinking of you

AliceRR I'm so sorry you have been going through this. Be kind to yourselves and try to accept any help you feel able to. I'm pleased you were able to spend time with Ruby and have photos of your family. Thinking of you.

I'm so sorry @AliceRR my heart breaks for you and your family xxx

Oh @AliceRR I am so so sorry to read your update. We have all been on such a journey together and None of us will have any idea what you are going through at the moment but please know we are thinking of you and your little girl. I'm glad you have been able to spend some time with Ruby and get some pictures. Be kind to yourself and sending love and hugs to you and your family

@AliceRR I cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. I hope you and your partner can access support to help you cope with the grief. This happened to a colleague of mine and her and her partner were able to access support through the charity 'Tommy's'.

Place making :)

@AliceRR
I am so so so so sorry for your loss I cannot even imagine how you are feeling!!

Thanks ladies. I appreciate it. It has been a tough week. We are getting ready to leave the hospital v shortly without our baby girl and that is heartbreaking. We didn’t think we’d be leaving hospital after 40 weeks of pregnancy to plan a funeral. It does feel a bit unfair but i don’t think it has fully sunken in either. We do have lots of support from friends and family and we will get through it somehow.

@AliceRR bless your hearts. It's so unfair like is unfair. Please please if you need anything or want a chat let me know. I cannot even begging to imagine but always here! X

@AliceRR I am so sorry to read this, ruby is a beautiful name. Thinking of you and your family at an awful time xxxx

@AliceRR I am so, so sorry for your loss. What a horrible shock, I’m so sorry it happened to you. Sending lots of love and strength. You chose a beautiful name for your precious little girl.

Oh @alicerr how uttterly and completely devastating for you. I’m so sorry. Will be thinking of you over the coming days. Every mother’s worst nightmare, I’m so so very sorry for your loss x

Thank you @Celebelly and @AvoidingMarking. We ended up combining breast and formula yesterday as Anna had lost too much weight so the midwife suggested a short term feeding plan! Hoping to gradually reduce the formula as my nipples heal! X

Congratulations @Leonora94. Great news that Orla has arrived x

@AliceRR there are no words I can say. Sending you all the love in the world.

Rubys are precious gems as was your little Ruby. Seems a fitting lovely name.

I hope you dont mind if I say a little prayer for you all as I light my evening candles. You will be in my thoughts xxx

I’m so sorry to hear about your loss @AliceRR. I hope that you have a great support network around you to allow you to grieve for the loss of your baby girl. Will be thinking about you xx

Ladies I need some advice, I had a little bit of brown blood in my underwear this morning and when I wiped, had nothing else all day and then this evening just been to the toilet and wiped and got some pink blood. Baby has still been moving so you think think this is my bloody show? You would think I would
Know being my 4th but I don't remember this, Google's said it could be cervix dilating,

Thanks again all. We are home now. Leaving hospital without her was so sad. Let’s see how the next few days go. First night at home tonight.

We are @Notquiteagandt ExactlyS I told my little girl as I held her that we that we called her Ruby because she is our precious little gem and our treasure. I would love for you to say a prayer for us / my little girl.

@AliceRR thinking of you regularly this week. Sending virtual hugs xxx

Im so sorry @AliceRR it's good to hear you have a good network of people around you sending you lots of strength and virtual hugs x

Thinking of you AliceRR. I’m so sorry for the heartbreak you’re going through. Sending lots of hugs and love to you all ❤️

Thanks again ladies

On a different note, is it normal to experience more stinging when peeing a few days after birth? The first time I had to pee after giving birth on Wednesday night was actually not that bad and didn’t sting too much. Yesterday i felt slightly more air and this morning was stinging a lot when I went for a pee. Does this mean something is wrong?

I had a couple of stitches, just first degree tear and MW said she probably wouldn’t have had to stitch it but did because it was in a certain way it was bleeding or something...

I’d imagine it’s your stitches healing...? I’ve never been stitched but I have torn, and the stinging wasn’t just with the initial wee.

Keep the area clean and dry, and lean forward when you wee (assuming the stitches are at the back, I tore frontally but they didn’t tell me and I didn’t think).

Ring your midwife if you’re worried about infection or anything though, they won’t mind.
