May 2010: All the babies have arrived, welcome to the other side!

[rachelfruitloop]

Here we are ladies, a new Postnatal thread! I wonder if we'll fill this one up as fast with one-handed typing?!

Oh ML. Bless you, it must be unbelievably hard for you. HUGS
A friend of mine whose firstborn was born same day as my firstborn lost 3 babies after that, each one late on (between 26 and 40 weeks)
She told me the hardest thing was people pretending those babies never existed. I don't know if that is how you feel
But if it helps you to let it all out I am here, or on fb, or I will give you my number if you want.

ml, big hugs to you, my aunty lost the last baby, no 4, it was a boy, after 3 girls, she keep him in a bottle of formol at home, and visit him every birthday, weird but sweet...

my friend also lost her baby when we were 18-20 weeks pregnant, it is hard to deal with.

let's count our blessings and look at our beautiful babies...

ML - big hugs, if you want to talk about your little boy on here than please do. I know my ds talks about her little boy all the time, she has 3 dc not 2 and his names on birthday cards etc. I have his picture up and think about him everyday, sometimes with sadness and always wondering what would have been. He would have been 2 next month. Was yesterday your ds's birthday or edd? :)

Oh ML, big hugs to you. That must be so so hard :( I can't imagine anything harder than losing a child.

Have been failing at keeping up this week. I just get comfy then get called off to do duties just as I start to post.

ML, more big hugs from me. I hope you're coping in your way, I'm sorry, I don't know what else to say. Thinking of you x

[pamelat]

ML thinking of you.

Thinking of you ML. As others have said, I'm so grateful to have my 2 DC.

thanks everyone for your kind thoughts..I think new baby and hormones..also the milestone 20 year anniversary made it seem more poignant..it was my due date.Hollyoaks..I so wish I had a picture of him.I lost him in May 1990.I have nothing to remember him by apart from the baby gro I bought him when Pregnant.I spent summer wantingto die and screaming with grief everytime I saw a baby...I got pregnant again quickly and DD1 was born the following July.
Homebirth..my mum beahved as if he never existed..I got a "get well" card after he was born

After DD2 was born in 2004..I lost two babies in quick succesion, one at 16 weeks the other at 23 weeks...which is why I was so anxious during my pregnancy with DD3

any way..that day is passed now..time to move forward...
First1 I forgot to offer my congrats on the job..you are doing so well..the phoenix rising from the ashes
