Our little Leo (one hour old)

Erinliz- Congratulations to you both on the birth of your sweet baby Leo... Your words are so profound and honest, what a journey you both have ahead of you... these words will be an incredible strength at times when you need it again.


So many wonderful people here on BB to listen and be with you when you need. x

Thanks to all of you amazing people for sharing our story & feeling us. Last night i couldnt sleep so i logged back on & there were 12 replies! i felt a little bit less alone. My partner can't understand how I could be ready to tell the story, but there are just so many women here at BellyBelly with mountains of awareness & understanding -of loss, longing & love.

I can see so many angel babies in your signatures... it makes me really happy to see that there are also many little ones who came to stay as well.

So much love Erinliz xxx
Sadly, you are right in thinking there are many women on BB who have walked in those shoes, I am one of them and still on the journey to the next birth.
Please keep in touch if you need to talk. I don't pretend to know how you feel but I do know when I lost my daughter at full term 9 months ago that knowing we weren't the only ones going through such a tragedy helped in the beginning. Never feel alone x
There are so many parts of grief and I just want you know that you are understood and supported here whenever you need to vent, connect or cry. Stay in touch with us! Xxx

I'm so sorry this happened to you, what a beautiful story to celebrate his birth xx

Oh what a beautiful way to celebrate Leo's life! Your love for him just flows through your words. I am so sorry you won't be taking him home with you tomorrow to share the time you all deserved - years, not months.

Thank you for letting us share in your special time with him. He sounds divine.

thank you for sharing Leos story.

Congratulations on the birth of baby Leo. I am so sorry he couldn't stay.

Thank you for sharing your journey with your precious baby. You have a gift for writing that I hope will help you in this next phase of your journey as parents. I know you will find many here on BB who understand your pain.

Here holding the space for you.

Beautifully written and so heartbreaking. I am so sorry little Leo couldn't stay.

Congratulations on the birth of your beautiful boy Leo. The love you have for your son shines through your beautifully written birth story. I'm so sorry he couldn't stay earth side.

Gentle :hug: take care of yourself and know you are not alone xxx

Congratulations on the birth of your Leo. Thank you for sharing your beautiful story. I am so sorry he only stayed with you for such a brief moment.
Much love and strength to you xx

Congratulations on the birth of your sweet baby Leo. I'm sorry he couldn't stay here with you.
My heart is breaking for you. I had a very similar experience with my son Noah. He was born at 21 weeks with the same issues - enlarged bladder, kidney problems, blocked urethra, no amniotic fluid etc. It was the single most heartbreaking experience of my life.
Sending you and your husband so much strength and love. Please lean on us all in here when you need someone. We are all here for you both xx
