So sorry for your loss.

There is a thread on the bereavement topic, here where other bereaved mothers chat and remember their children together. Do pop in and say hello, I know htat they are an incredibly supportive bunch.

Oh I'm so sorry to hear this. It's horrific hearing your lovely baby's postmortem results isn't it. And sometimes it doesn't give you the straight answers you deserve.

I know on SANDS they have different sections for Mums whose babies died from the same causes, I used to lurk on the PROM section. I have just had a quick look and there is a group on the message board of other Mums twho lost their babies due to meconium aspiration.

The support of other people going through the same thing is invaluable.

The other thing I would advise is to get some sort of counselling from a bereavement midwife - I don't know whether you have already been offered this, but I found it really helpful that I could throw medical questions at her - I mean some of them she couldn't answer, like whether the baby would've felt anything etc., but she really helped me translate some of the medical stuff from the PM results.

Hope this helps a bit.

thank u all so much i will look at these websites x
