Need some advice

[AmandaJ]

Ok I need some advice.

I've just found out that my pg is a blighted ovum, now I've had a natural m/c before at 5 weeks and I'm 9 weeks and 3 days today. We found out yesterday and I've had my cry and am sure I will have more tears in the near future, I've got a d&c on Monday.

But on to the advice bit, my 9 yr old knows that I was pg and I have absolutely no idea in how to tell him that there is no baby and that I'm not going to be pg anymore. He's a very sensitive boy and I'm finding it hard trying to find the right words. I've orgainised for the school chaplin to speak to him on monday as I'm planning on telling him over the weekend.

any ideas.

Sorry for your loss

perhaps you could tell your son that the baby in your tummy was not growing properly and couldn't grow into a baby. Just keep things simple.

Oh, lovely, I wish I wasn't reading this
Play it straight with your boy and answer his questions that he'll ask. I'm answering 3.5yo questions about a family friend who passed away and I answer him. His little brain makes other things of it, but he'll get it one day (like just now he's saying that our friend died and he will be magicked back and he won't be sick anymore, so I just say "I hope so"!).
All you can do is be there for him and if he's ok with it for now, then he's ok with it for now and you can get back to you
I'm so sorry that the pg wasn't to be
