Finally Had The Strength To Write My Story

This has taken me a week to write because I cried the entire time I wrote it.

Thank you for sharing your story.  I'm so sorry for your loss.  I think it's beautiful that you have that sonogram picture to remember her by.  I pray you'll continue to find peace and strength in the coming weeks, months, years.

I'm so sorry for your loss.  My D&E was at 21 weeks for severe heart defects (with no related chromosomal abnormalities), that were discovered at the mid-pregnancy anatomy scan.  I totally know how it feels to be the 1 in a gazillion that something like that happens to.  The heart defect that our baby had was incredibly rare, and then we were in the worst 10% of that particular defect, where it couldn't be "fixed" with open heart surgery.  I remember signing all the forms for the D&E and they said that 1 in 50,000 people die from anesthesia - before we lost our baby, I never would have thought twice about being the 1 in 50,000, but now that something even less likely happened to us, I do. 

The phrase that my doctor used that has stuck with me is "You and your husband were struck by lightning, but I don't think you're lightning rods."  Meaning that what happened to us was so incredibly unlikely, but he doesn't think it's likely to happen again.

Have you visiting the babycenter.com "Termination for Medical Reasons" board?  I recommend it.  It has helped me to talk with people that had to make such an awful decision like we did.  Hang in there.
