Hey everyone,
On April 6th 2012 I lost my little boy at 23 weeks. The day before I was getting mild pains and spotting, the pain got worse but they told me it was normal. My mum then called them 2 hours later saying I'm coming in so they can check me over..n an hour later I was at the hospital... it took. Them an hour to see me. Then they told me I was 10cm and he wasn't going to survive. The pain I felt when they told me was the worst. My labour was 36 hours and they had to break my waters because I was getting dangerously infected amd could of lost my life. I lost him on the 6th April 2012 at 7:04pm, we called him Riley-Lee hargreaves... he doed whilst being delivered. I just found out I'm pregnant again only 6weeks and I'm not excited I don't feel what i did when i was pregnant with riley. I'm scared, I have been so emotional over the past couple of weeks... rileys due date is 8 days away which isn't helping sorry about the essay. Any thoughys? Z

You poor poor thing. I'm so so sorry you lost Riley-Lee. Could you go to the Dr and ask for some counselling to help you through?

I don't have trust in people I don't know. I have a lot off support from family and my boyfriend.... but im still in pieces. I haven't slept properly for days everytime I close my eyes all I see is riley and what happened over the easterweekend when I lost him :(

Sorry for your loss.

Have you tried posting on the miscarriage/loss or bereavement forums at all? There are many other women there who have been through the same or similar situations and may be able to offer advice or support.

Miscarriage forum

Bereavement forum

You might also find some mums who are pg again on those threads. It's very understandable that you're finding it hard - your current pg isn't a replacement for your baby Riley, he was a one off, which is why you feel the loss so accutely.

All the best x

Thank you, I'll have a look on them.
No child could replace he was my first and he was perfect :). Thank you for taking time to support me x
