Babyfever - I'm so sorry for your loss. please don't blame yourself. Nothing you did or didn't do made this m/c happen. I believe that sometimes things happen to make us stronger, it doesn't make it any easier though. Grieving takes many forms and takes people different times. You may never forget this little bean. He/she will always be part of your family. I promise you, it will get easier. There will be times when it really hits you and you have "moments" sometimes these moments may last minutes, hours or days. Special events, or some people may set you off, it's all normal and natural.

You really need to have an u/sound to make sure there is nothing left inside that will cause further problems. I m/c last november, spent the night in hospital as I reacted badly to the morpheine they gave me for pain relief, before they would allow me to go home, i had an u/sound to ensure that nothing was left and I didn't have to have a D & C. I bled for another week after that.

No new baby will ever replace the baby you have lost. A lot of people have different ways to commerate the little angel they have lost. Some have jewelery, tattoos and trees/plants. You will find your special way when you are ready. I would love to have another little one, we, as a family, talk about our angel, we refer to her as "she" (like Cassius we had a feeling about her gender) and even our kids refer to her as part of our family. We don't want to replace her, I'd just love to add to our family as I know we have so much to give another little person.

When you're ready pop into the TTC after m/c and loss thread, you'll be very welcome and the girls there are so helpful and understanding. I'm not sure I could have got through this without someone who knew and understood what I was feeling.
