I am in tears reading your story Kim, I hadn't realised how bad it was for you. I am so glad Nate was born OK what a miracle baby he is.
Erin still asks after Darcy, you really have an awesome daughter and I am sure Nate is just as special.
Much love to you.
Wow, you were very lucky Kim. He was obviously supposed to be ok, what an amazing story. A little miracle man. Were you in a lot of pain at 24 weeks when you bled?
I'm sorry you have had the decision of having more children taken away from you. It must be heartbreaking.
Trish at time it felt like it was falling apart, but it held onto what it needed.
Christine, thanks mate. Erin wouldn't believe how Darc has changed, heck I think I'd be astounded at Erin!
Falguni, nope no pain at all that I can remember....wish u/s had picked it up....might not have moved a pallet of bricks at 35ish weeks lol.
Thanks Feeb, even though my brain knows that, every preg announcement/belly just makes my heart twinge for the what ifs....it will pass in time I'm confident.
What a special little man you have Kim. It's so amazing that your body was able to hold everything together in spite of the rupture - and that it wasn't picked up at all.
I'm sorry that you have had your options taken away from you
Oh Kim your precious story bought tears to my eyes as when heavily pregnant with Cendrine my Auntie lost her battle with breast cancer ... everyone flipped when i turned up at the funeral in high heels with DP hanging on the left of me & my sister to the right and my response to everyone was my Auntie was classy and no other shoes would do but the best so gorgeous heels it was. The day after i gave birth to Cendrine i looked at her that night and thought how sad my Auntie didn't get to see her and then suddenly Cendrine's eye's opened wider than i had already seen them looking right through me then i felt someone stroking my hair. It was the most peaceful & beautiful feeling ... and i never felt alone in my private hospital room.
And Kim as far as feeling like you have failed i so understand what you mean ... i feel that every day & every time i look at Cendrine knowing she will have no sibling. I get riddled with guilt but hope she loves me even more when she is older to understand i had her at 40 and did my best in trying for another until 43(& a half, LOL) ...
I get such joy in my heart when i hear of a child becoming a sibling ... Nate is the most beautiful & precious gift you could ever possibly have given on this planet to Darcey ... And i just LOVE Nat's name every time i see about here
Kim ... THANK YOU ever so much for sharing your extremely heartfelt story (and i'm so so sorry of the lose of your Uncle at a very precious time in life being pregnant with Nate) xoxo
P.S - I love the bit where Darcey was listening in, sounds like a little girl i know, Ha !!
