Dearest Tully, thank you for sharing your story with us. I know how hard it must have been for you to write it all, but I hope that once you did so that it gave you some relief from the grief.

I too found out that my baby had passed away at my first ultrasound and reading your story I can remember vividly how devastating it is when you first hear the news. You have gone into the ultrasound on the highest of highs, and leave on the lowest of lows.

I'm so sorry that the process was so traumatising both physically and emotionally for you. I hope that your body recovers soon, but please take as much time as you need to recover emotionally. No one can understand what you are feeling better than yourself, so do whatever you need to do, even if that means yelling, screaming, crying or laughing.

This forum is a wonderful place and the members are extremely understanding and compassionate. We will all be here for you during this sad time.

My thoughts are with you and your partner
