Hi Carrie

I lost a twin at a similar stage to you, I think probably a couple of weeks earlier. My consultant (possibly the same one as a previous poster) also told me that I would always be the mum of twins, even though I only have one DD.

The good news (if such a thing exists) is that they are in separate sacs so your remaining baby will not be affected, in fact she has a much better chance of being born happy and healthy. What I did, because I did want to mark the passing of one of my babies, was that we took my placenta home and cremated it in a little bonfire, said some words and had a good cry.

The only way I could think of to describe how I was feeling is that it was like being at a birthday party and funeral at the same time. Allow yourself time to grieve, it is okay to be upset. Often those around won't fully understand what you are going through, so be gentle on them if they are crass or say something hurtful. My husband didn't really understand until I used the word "miscarriage". He hadn't thought of it in those terms, only that I should be happy because of having one happy and healthy baby.

I hope the rest of your pregnancy is peaceful and uneventful. Good luck and hugs to you.

Carrie, i am so sorry this has happened. x

So sorry.

Carrie - Worldgonecrazy makes a good point - people do say things which are meant to kind but can be the stupidest thing you have ever heard at times like these. Try not to dwell on them. They mean well, it just doesn't always come out right!

Glad you and your DH are finding some comfort from MN. Take care of yourselves x

Oh, I'm sorry, Carrie :(

My thoughts are with you carrie.

So sorry :(

So sorry to hear this. My best wishes and prayers for you all

I am sorry to hear of your loss.

So sorry for your loss xx

So very sorry to hear this, Carrie.

My thoughts are with you and your family.

So sorry to hear that Carrie x
