    Introduction

    hi ladies,
    i'd just like to introduce myself before i start asking questions etc.
    i'm noni 26 and deaar hubby is micheal 36 and we're in perth. last month we lost our first child, a little boy at 20w4d for no apperant reason they say.they just don't know why it happened as everything had been perfect up to then. we were devastated and i thought we'd never pull through. but thank God we are okay now and looking forward to trying again. we don't think it's too soon and feel we're ready but i'm sure a lot of emotions will come up. i'm nervous beacuse i don't know it happened and what it means for the next pregnancy. we do have a meeting on the 18th of march though with doctors etc to see if they have any updates and any advice for this time around.

    sorry this is long
    noni

    Hi noni, gosh I hate it when new people join this thread! No one should have to suffer a loss. There are beautiful women in here that offer the most amazing support, advice and a shoulder to cry on if you need it at any time of the day or night. I know I use it to it's full advantage!
    I'm sorry to hear about your Bub, the reason we lost our bub is a mystery as well. At our last appointment with our Dr's they said that generally when they can't find a problem it rarely happens again, and they keep assuring us of this - although I'm not sure how much of a comfort it's meant to be, never would be better than rarely
    I'm glad your excited about TTC again, when they heart is ready, it's ready!
    Wishing you all the luck in the world! Hopefully you'll be blessed with a BFP in the shortest time possible!

    Hi Noni, welcome to our wonderful group of mums, but so very sad you have to be here. What did you name your little boy? You will find heaps of support and understanding from these ladies that have been through such devastating losses, it is hard for people on the 'outside' to understand what you and DH have gone and will continue to go through. I hope your next meeting can shed some light on things for you, and trust me the nervousness doesn't go away, worse luck, but you will get to hold your little earth baby and their big brother will be smiling down at you all.

    Howdy All,

    M2B - welcome to the group - its an unfortunate thing to find yourself in here but as already stated you will find lots of great ladies and men who have all been through the devastation of a loss. All who will be more than happy to become that shoulder to cry on or ear to chew when you need it. I am glad you feel the strength to begin your TTC journey so quickly and I hope that your stay here is a very short one and that you never need to return to this thread further down the track. Sorry that sounds aweful but there are always very sad reasons for one to be in here

    Teagz I love your avatar, I so wanted an angel put in mine.


    Dee here is to a long happy and healthy 9 months.

    Beata love your new avatar too looks so lovely. Enjoy your holiday. x x

    Love to all
    Nae x

    Noni, don't worry I'm still counting down my pregnancy too, I tried to stop but you can't really help it. I would have been 29 weeks this coming friday. I'm actually looking forward to when Jayvan's due date passes because the fantasy will be over, but I'm dreading it at the same time! I love your little bubs name as well. Are you going to do anything with his ashes? We bought Jayvan's home as well, they're sitting on Df's bedside table at the moment because he stole him off me : )

    NaeNae, Thanks! I love my little Jayvan Angel too ^^; He looks cheeky, just like his dad!

    thanks for your words nae nae..i love your name! teagz i know what you mean about counting down. i'm not really i gess but i just knew yesterday was coming. i was really down and dh gave me the space to be. as for the due date/week i don't know how it'll be.today's rainy and cloudy in perth and i remember fantasizing about being home with my boy in the wintermonths etc...we bought a solid oak box for his ashes, it's pretty biggish and we're gonna put him there together with his birth and death certificates, they came last week and that was hard too and his other little bits and pieces and put it away for when we want to look through it.we're not gonna have them out in the open though. it's too private for us.
    your boy's name is lovely he he he that your df stole him from you ! how sweet.

    Bah! So, I've just gone to the loo and I'm pretty sure AF has just started... what... WHAT! It's only CD17?!?! Boy, this is depressing Well, at least it hasn't ruined my birthday.

    Noni, yeah we haven't left stuff for Jayvan out either. I would love to but I don't think that people would understand, but at the same time I don't like the idea of having him stuff away in a box up in the top cupboard. We have a puter box for his ashes that has his name engraved on it his little blanket is in there, and we have his hand and footprints framed and hanging above our bed.
