Parenting after a Loss

introducing myself...

Hi ladies! I just wanted to introduce myself. I lost my first son in Feb 08, he was full-term and died just a few minutes before birth due to a delayed c/section. 

This past May I gave birth to another beautiful baby boy by c/s as well. It's been difficult but amazing as well.  

For some reason I had not noticed this board, and I am SO GLAD it's here... because some days are so difficult for me. I think so much of my little angel and my thoughts get so distracted but then I realize that I have no more time to "grieve" because my LO needs all my attention. 

Well, I hope to get to know you ladies! Thx!

  • I am sorry for you loss. Glad you found us. This board has helped me a lot! 

    Congrats! You son is so cute! 

  • Welcome! I am so sorry to hear about your losses. Congrats on your baby boy though! He is a cutie.
  • glad you found us, welcome to the board!
  • Hi, I remember you from the PL board.  Welcome here and congratulations.  I know what you mean about having difficult days.  There are times I look at my little girl and know exactly what I missed out on with my son.  He is on my mind ALL the time but not always in such a sad way.  I know he is my daughters Guardian Angel and we will be with him again some day in Heaven.  Until then I will spend my time raising my daughter in honor of my son and do the best job I can.  I do not take her for granted and try to enjoy everything with her - even the difficult and challenging times.

     

  • Hi Loops.  I remember when you had your heartbreaking loss.  I know your LO doesn't replace the one you lost, but I'm so glad to hear that he is well and that you are joining us!

  • I am so sorry for your loss. Welcome to our board. It is a very supportive place with wonderful ladies!!
  • What an adorable son you have!  Congratulations!  We don't have to forget the babies we lost...they'll always be with us. 
  • I remember your screen name and your story.  I am so glad that you delivered a healthy baby boy a few months ago!  I bet the whole pregnancy and delivery was very scary the second time around. 

    So glad that you found your way to our board!

  • I definitely recognize you from SAL. Welcome! I can imagine the emotions you must be feeling. I had a hard time after my son was born in May because of emotions from delivering my stillborn son. I can only imagine how hard it must be for you since he was full term. My heart goes out to you. I am always here if you want to talk.

  • I am so sorry about your loss. :(

    But, welcome to our board...this is an amazing group of women! :) 

  • I am sorry about your loss. Welcome to our board!
  • Sorry about your loss. this board is great! And your LO is adorable!
  • I'm so sorry for your loss but welcome!

    I think that many of us struggle with thinking about our lost LO's - whether it was a miscarriage or the loss of full term baby.  I couldn't imagine going through what you did.  I think you'll find that our board tries to find the humor in parenting, or in my case the attempt at parenting and I think many times our posts are light hearted, but... we are also a very supportive group that is here to hold you up when you're feeling down.
