Our baby was born today

[ProbablyMe]

Our beautiful, tiny baby Rowan was born at 12.48pm today after a mercifully short and peaceful labour where the sun shone in the window at the end. We only had you for just under 16 weeks but we will love you for a lifetime. Leaving the hospital without was the hardest thing I will ever do.

Rowan is a beautiful name. I'm so sorry for your loss OP.

Such a beautiful name, thank you for sharing your story. Today must have been very difficult. My thoughts are with you. You must have tremendous strength. X

I'm so sorry. Rest in peace, Rowan.

A beautiful name. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Rabbie Burns day.

Rowan is a beautiful name. Wishing you strength & love x

Daddy is from Ayrshire so the Burns Night connection seems fitting. It's just so incredibly sad.

Sleep tight, Rowan.

Take care of yourself, Probably. MNers are always here.

Sorry to hear your news.

I'm glad you found some peace in your terrible experience. I'm so sorry you have lost your beautiful Rowan, how heartbreaking for you.

Sending love to you and your family.

So very sorry to hear that you have lost your beautiful girl. Rowan is a lovely name.

I know there are no words that can help right now.

I have been through exactly the same thing this week. My Rose was born at 22 weeks after finding out she he'd Edwards syndrome.

Leaving the hospital was utterly soul destroying.

Do you have a memory box for Rowan? We have one provided by sands and I've had all her photos and prints out every day so far.

I have friends that have been through the same, they assure me it doesn't get easier but you become for 'comfortable' with it.

It is the most horrific thing that can happen to someone.

My heart goes out to you, I know your pain x

So very sorry for your loss. Rowans are beautiful. Will you plant one in her memory?

Thinking of you too Kitty

Probably and Kitty

I'm so very sorry for your losses.

Sleep peacefully Rowan xx

Probably....I'm so so sorry. My heart goes out to you. I can relate to leaving Rowan at the hospital. Leaving our little 'Lil' was the most heart wrenching experience.

Please be kind to yourselves and look after each other in these early days....

Blessings Rowan

For Kitty and Rose

I'm sorry for your loss - the love that you have shines through what you wrote.

Thanks for the flowers.

How are you doing Probably? We're having lots of up and down days here, I'm sure you must be fairly similar.

I've been thinking of you. It's a truly terrible thing to be going through.

Kitty and probably there are lots of people here who are /have gone through similar and who are thinking of you both (me included although two years ago)

Any time you need to vent we will be here for you.

Thanks everyone

Kitty - It's been a long day - I'm feeling like a clock where the second hand has got stuck. I have no idea what to do, how to fill the gap. I'm either crying, feeling guilty that I'm not crying...plus a load of other emotions in between a lot of which I can't grasp at the moment. My parents are coming round shortly with a casserole for my DSs to save DP and I having to cook but I don't really want to see them, they're obviously upset too but I don't feel I can deal with their sadness as well as mine. I don't want them to feel pushed away though so I'll try and keep my chin up until they leave. Part of me wants this never ending day to be over but after that there will me another never ending night.
