Hi Ladies!~ Hope those that got today off are enjoying it!! So it has been awhile since I have been on here(the bump) as I have been dealing with a lot the past couple of months. I was posting on the infertility board as I did IVF so hope it's ok to post this here too?! I did my first IVF back in Nov. and it was a bfp but I m/c at 6 weeks. (first week in Dec.) I took this really hard and took sometime and just let family surround me during the holidays, ect. Then almost a month ago to date my wonderful wonderful mom suddenly passed away. She had cancer but ultimately passed from hitting her head and having a brain hemorrage (from being on a blood thinner). My life has been really really sad and difficult these past few months!!! It's so crazy that this happened so close together and I just keep saying to myself/family: Well Mom's up there babysitting for me for awhile. If I look at it this way I find some peace. I could really use the support that I have heard this board gives out...Thank You!!
Re: New to the Board (m/c & lost my mom)
I can't imagine having to go through so much in such a short period of time. I'm so sorry for both of your losses! The sting of IF and a m/c hurts so much and just isn't fair. I'm glad you can take comfort in the thoughs of your mom taking care of your baby.

I'm so sorry for the terrible tragedies you have faced lately. I had the exact same experience a year ago. I had my first m/c a year ago last Saturday, then in April I lost my dad. We are here to support you.

I'm going through basically the same situations. My mom passed away suddenly in November. Not sure exactly what happened. She hit her head while having a seizure---she's never had one before---had a brain hemorrhage, and a blood clot in her heart. They could have given her a shot for the blood clot but it would have made her bleed out into her brain, but if they didn't do anything she would die anyway.... Double edged sword.----Around the end of December I got pregnant with my first, and lost the baby at about 7 weeks....It doesn't make any sense and I know what you are going through. Some days I feel like the world has it out for me and I sit and cry most of the day away. I don't have any encouraging words because I know that there is nothing anyone can say or do to fix how you feel. Just know that you need to take the time to remember your mother,know that your baby just wasn't ready yet, and your mom is babysitting like you said. One day you will meet your baby and, down the road when your time here is done, you'll see your mom again. Hang in there, it will get better. I don't know when but it will. If you ever want to chat or vent feel free to contact me, I can relate.
All my love.
