How many times have you been pregnant? *Sensitive topic*

[Freya]

And I also want to say, I have very nearly been on both sides of the losing a pregnancy equation. Ive had 5 first trimester losses and they broke my heart. I completely understand that pain.

Ive also been within a hairs breath of feeling the unimaginable pain of losing a baby in the 2nd trimester. I am forever grateful we got to take him home happy and healthy in the end but when nurses start talking to you about funerals and baptising and grief counsellors, and everything is out of your control and up to higher powers; if the pain I touched on in those horrifying hours is even a minute glimpse of what it feels like to have to go home without a baby to hold; I can assure you its heart SHATTERING. And thats not even doing it justice. It gave me a renewed admiration, respect and sympathy for those who've been there. The experience I had scarred me for life and we were one of the lucky ones!

ETA - I dont talk about what we went through in Ds2's pregnancy because it almost seems..........disrespectful because we got to take him home. I really hope I dont offend anyone because like I said, I KNOW the pain I felt is nothing compared to those who've walked that path to the end.
