This is my first post here and i would firstly like to say i'm sorry to everyone that has had a loss.
This is our story,
Found out i was pregnant the middle of september 08, we were over the moon to say the least.
1 week later i started to bleed, not spotting like i had been told could happen, but really heavily. I naturally went straight to emergency at the local hospital. They did the usual blood tests/ultrasound etc and at that point they could only determine that i had a pregnancy sac. There was no fetal pole present at this stage because i was too early.
Went back 1 week later to have another ultrasound and there was a fetal pole present but no heartbeat because i was still too early.
Went back another week later and there was our beautiful angel's heartbeat.
Because i was still bleeding heavily at this point i went for fortnightly checkups to make sure there still life inside me. There was every time i went.
I went for my 16 week checkup on the 27/11/08 and my doctor informed me that my waters had broken and sent me straight up to the ward for bed rest. Seeing my cervic was still closed our baby had a 1 in 4 chance of survival.
Unfortunatley at 7.34 pm 28/11/08 my cervix had opened and i delivered our sleeping angel and it was the hardest thing that i have ever had to do.
Still to this day i don't know why i started to bleed at 6 weeks and continued to bleed non stop for 10 weeks but hopefully when i go for a checkup in a few weeks time they can give me answers.
Hubby and i decided at the time of delivery that we want to try again ASAP but i feel that people might think we are just trying to replace our little one but thats not the case as all... Nothing can ever replace a lost child.
Welcome to BB Mishyy, I'm so sorry for your loss . What a terrible time you are going through .
There is nothing wrong with trying again as soon as you feel ready, don't worry about what anyone else says or thinks, it is entirely up to you and your DH. You love your precious baby and always will and another baby will be a welcome addition to your family.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and I wish you all the very best with TTC .
Mishyy I'm so sorry to read about your terrible loss. You are very strong for going through what you did.
Don't feel guilty for wanting another one so soon. It's only natural to desire to have life inside of you again. On a positive note, that fact that you guys were able to conceive in the first place is a good sign.
I wish you all the best in your future attempts at TTC and I hope you have a little one to hold in your arms someday soon.
Hi,
I'm so very sorry for the loss of your precious angel. My baby boy was born sleeping at 24wks and I too like you wanted to have another baby straight away. This is such a natural feeling and there is nothing wrong with that. You are so right in saying that having another baby will never replace your lost angel. Your angel will always remain close to your heart.
Mishyy I too am sorry for your loss. It's a shame that you join our community at BellyBelly under such difficult personal circumstances - may you find healing and hope.
I am thinking of you at this sad time. I too believe that you and only you, will know when it is the right time to TTC again, anyone who passes judgement is not worth worrying about.
