[AwayWithTheFaries]

ds1 is 6 has ads
iv just had a misscarraige at 16 weeks baby died at 13 weeks had a pretty bad few days had to call a ambulance have surgery blood transfusins not good but im home now and all is well
ds was quite excited about having another little brother or sister and was upset that he didnt come to my 12 week scan as he was at school
we were told the baby was a boy and ds was sure it was a girl!!
any words of wisdom as to what to tell him?
of course i will tell him what happened just not sure how and dp told him i was in hospital as i wasnt well

I went through this 3 years ago, we told ds, who was 5 at the time, that sadly the baby had died, he asked why and we said we didn't know and that sadly these things happen. He was sad about it but ok too, in his own little way. I think honesty is the best way to go, but it is hard when you don't have the answers yourself. I'm so sorry this has happened to you.

I am sorry to read this sad news :(

I told all my children that Mum and Dad chose each of them by picking a special star either with a blue blanket or a pink blanket and that they stayed in mummys tummy till they had grown.

I only had DD when I lost my first baby and when it happened I told her that her brother wasnt ready to wake up. When we chose his special star there was a problem that we hadnt realised. His blanket got snagged on another star on the way down and made a hole in it and so he had caught a chill and had to go back to heaven to warm up and have a new blanket made. Told her that he said he was hoping to meet her again one day when he was warmer.:)

that made me cry coff33pot thats beautiul x
