Looking at different ways I can symbolizing my two angels who I lost through miscarriage, first was 3 years ago and second was four weeks ago. Want them to be remembered. Xx

So sorry for your losses and the sadness you’re experiencing OP

We are going through this now and have just picked a unisex name for our baby As we didn’t know the sex. We also bought a stuffed animal that would have belonged to the baby and we keep that with the picture the sonographer gave me. We’ll put them in a box frame eventually I think but we aren’t decorated yet as recently moved.

Sorry for your losses. Flowers
A friend of mine bought pretty heart and has it hanging in her room. You could make one if you are crafty.
If you have the scan pics there are nice things on etsy you can have made.

@itseasybeingcheesey thank you, I'm so sorry you are going through this now, it doesn't feel real and I'm looking at different things I can do thinking this isn't how it should be, I should be nearly 15 weeks pregnant now. I'm so grateful I've got my rainbow little boy who makes the days less dark. I like the idea of a boxed frame somewhere where you can see it. Xx

I'm so sorry for your losses, it's just so sad you have had not just one tragic loss but two.

I just miscarried this week and have decided to buy a bean pendant necklace in memory of my little bean baby from a well known luxury jeweller. Trying to decide at the moment if I wait until I can face the world and go to the store or just order online and get it delivered. They do earrings in that collection if you are thinking jewellery.

@troodiedo, thank you, the heart sounds nice, saw lots of different ideas on Etsy. X

So sorry for your losses Lauraliverpool.

I had 2 miscarriages 19 years ago. I have some lines from a song, written in fancy writing, framed and hanging on the wall, with the pictures of my other children. The song has several titles, one of which is 'For Baby' which i didnt know when i bought it. It definitely helped me to have something i could see every day and it still brings me comfort.

Thinking of you.

@InDreamland, i am so sorry, that sounds a lovely idea to get the necklace. It's hard when you don't want to face the world, having my little boy I don't have much choice, I find taking it a day at a time does help, just do things at your own pace. Xx

@mynotfinkso thank you, I'm so sorry for your losses too. I have seen a quote on Etsy which says I carried you for every second of your life and will love you for every second of mine. I have a tattoo on my wrist which is my brother's signature from the last birthday card he gave me and thought maybe add a little something to that. Thinking of you too. Xx
