Late Term and Child Loss

New to this board.. seeking prayers and strength

I gave birth to Thomas Bailey Coulter January 24th 2012. he weighed 1 lb 6 oz and was 11 inches long. He was born at 22 wks 5 days. God took him home after 2 hrs and 22 minutes. We were able to hold him and comfort him during this time. It is the hardest thing I hope I ever have to go thru. I am 39 and this was my 1st pregnancy. I just pray to God he gives us another chance. I never thought I could love someone so much. My heart still hurts and sometimes I feel as though I cannot breath but I know that life must continue. Please keep me in your prayers. I need all the help I can get.

  • I am so sorry for your loss.  We are loss date twins so I sympathize even more for you.  We were in your shoes 1 year ago.  I know how hard this is, be glad you got a few hours with him.  You are in the perfect place to gain support and hopefully some comfort.  Best of luck in the healing process.  I wish I could say time makes it feel better, but it's just not the case...lean on your DH and family now, you will need them.  So sorry again...PM me if you want to talk

  • I am so sorry for the loss of your Thomas.  This board is a great place and while we would all prefer to never have met (at least like this), these ladies are wonderful and such a comfort.  It can help so much just to know others understand...because most people in your real life won't....it's not that they don't care, they just can't understand.

    We are all here for you.

    Hugs,
    Jenn 

    We are so thankful that our second daughter, Lillian Elizabeth "Lily", was born healthy and happy on February 11, 2013.  We love her to pieces.  

    We lost our first daughter, Hannah Grace on May 4, 2011.  She was buried on May 14 during a beautiful service at my home church. We are grateful that if she could not be here with us, that she is healed and whole with the Lord. We look forward to the day when we will get to meet her. We love her so much.
