I'm just over 38 weeks pregnant with our 1st (and due to my age, probably only) assisted conception baby. We've been getting excited about his arrival and looking forward to sharing this special time with family and friends but sadly my Mum passed away this morning after a failed operation. I'm so sad at losing my Mum but it's even harder because she didn't get to meet our baby and he will never know her. She was a wonderful mother of six and grandmother of eleven and I wish she was still here.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your mother and such a shock with the failed operation. Your mum must have loved thinking about her new grand baby even if he was still on the inside - and I hope that the birth of your baby brings you much joy and hopefully a reminder of your mum in something inherited that will make you smile thinking of her
Im so sorrry to read about your loss. Big hugs to you. I can relate in a small way as my mother in law passed away a few months ago, everything DD does i wish she was here to see!! But my DH has a very possitive outlook now and will always tell me that she is there watching DD 24/7. And its a nice thought, like a gardian angel. I know its not the same, but she will always be on your shoulder guiding you and your LO!!
Wishing you the very best of luck it will be difficult inthe weeks ahead try and look after yourself and baby and know your mum is looking out for you. Remember to talk and maybe some professional counselling.

A Big hug for you Alipetrina - I know how you feel my mum died 6 years ago and never got to meet any of her grandchildren, see us married etc and it really makes you sad when you think about all that they have missed. She will be with you and watching over you!
I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. I couldn't imagine what it is like to loose someone so close to you. My heart goes out to you and your family.
I never got to meet my Dad's mum as she passed before I was born, but I feel as though I knew her. People say I talk about her as if I knew her and that is only because both of my parents told me tons of stories about her, the good and the bad, and kept her spirit alive throughout all of these years. You can do that too. Share photos and stories and always be open and completely honest about every aspect of your beloved mum. When the times comes, tell the little just how it felt to loose her and the feeling you had about him not being able to meet her. Then I believe he too will feel as though he knew her and love her just as much as you do.
thinking of you. Be kind on yourself, healing takes time.
I'm sure you'll have lots of stories and pictures to share with your little one, so that they know there's someone special keeping an eye out for them from above.
And I bet your mum went peacefully, knowing the joy you would very soon be experiencing.
All the best for getting through this. If you can get to a counsellor I think it would be a great idea.
