    Unhappy So sad

    I've just found out a close friend has lost her baby at 15 weeks. It had Edwards diseasse which affect the whole body - mostly the organs. Apparantely at the 12 weeks scan they noticed the liver and kidneys were quite small but a scan yesterday showed that it was dying. The has to have a c/s. The baby prob wouldn't have survived even if it got to birth.

    Just 2 weeks ago we were talking abut our babies being a month apart. She sounded really positive but did say they would wait till the 20 week scan to be sure - I didn't think anything of it. I feel just terrible. Any loss is terrible but to get to 15 weeks is so sad. I also feel awful that we are and then I also hope everything is okay with our baby because of course you start to worry.

    I feel like crap.

    so sorry to hear of your friend's loss - and i understand how you would feel now. These things are quite rare but i know it is hard not to worry about your own too when it happens - I am going through something similar at the moment (a baby who has died at 5 wks old) and it keeps me up at night thinking about it. big hugs to you. xxx
