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

[becnxavi]

6 pregnancies, 1 DS earthside, 1 DD grew her wings when she was born

#1: DS
#2, #3, #4: early m/c
#5: twins- ruptured ectopic at 6.5w, missed m/c blighted ovum 11w
#6: DD born sleeping (heart condition) 35w

I don't consider Poppy as a pregnancy loss. She was my daughter and she died. I lost my child. I mourned my m/c's differently.

I agree with those who wrote about strength. It's a funny word and when people use it to describe you, it feels so odd. Because you choose to be strong or brave or cowardly. I don't choose to grieve in my way. I just do. I'm not more or less brave than any other mother who has walked away from a hospital with empty arms and a broken heart. We are as we are. Grieving mothers.
