Late Term and Child Loss

Sad this morning

I went on FB this morning and the first post I see is that a friend of ours wife had her baby last night.  Not what I wanted to see...meanwhile I'm sitting here waiting for my Dr. to call me back with my blood test results from when I was in the hospital.  It's not going to be a good day :-(

  • I think the first days after you lose your little one are the hardest. Be gentle with yourself and cry as much as you need to. We are all here for you!

    ((Hugs!))

  • I am so sorry. It seems after you lose your baby everyone around you is pregnant or just had a child. Maybe block that friend's post for a while and any others that are pregnant. I know it is so hard right after you lose your baby. You are not sure what to do with yourself or where you even belong anymore. It is a very lonely feeling. I am glad you came on here to talk with ladies who understand. If you ever need to talk one on one I am here for you. Just know everyone on here is with you in spirit hugging you and holding your hand. HUGS

    Thank you so much..there are a few more friends that are due in the next coming months so I will probably take your advise and block them for a while.  I knew the post was coming but not this early.

  • I completely agree, I wrestled with whether or not to block people, I felt like my life is already upside down I don't want to have to block my friends too... but it's really the best thing for a while.  I still have most of them blocked and if I want to see how they're doing I go to their profile.  It's just a hardship that's not worth dealing with.  I'm so sorry... I know how hard it is, I had tons of friends pregnant with me and went through the same thing.  I can tell you it gets easier, I can hold their babies now... I can't tell you that every single one of them doesn't remind me of what I should have.  They do, they will always be the age that Peyton should be... but I can appreciate them now, I can be grateful for them now and enjoy their smiles.  It's a hard road.

    I would also advise you take a break from Facebook, if you can, for a short while. Even though you want to keep up with your friends and family, you also want to take some time for yourself. No one will be upset if you don't comment or 'like' their status for a while.

  • ((*hugs*)) I am so sorry for your loss, lovey!  And I'm sorry for that those triggers pop up when you least expect it or need it.  Everything is still so fresh for you.  Give yourself time, space, and grace.  Shortly after losing Logan, I blocked all status updates of the people who were pregnant or had small children.  It was a huge help.

  • Bad day here too. Yesterday was tolerable, today I cry at the slightest thing. I guess that's how it will be for a while, ups and downs.

  • I'm sorry it's a tough day. I did block my pregnant friends and those with small children, except for those with rainbow babies because they give me some hope. It has helped. Now, if I want to check up on them, I still can, but they catch me by surprise. ((hugs))

    This. I am not yet to the point where I feel like I can unblock them. I still haven't seen or held their babies yet. But I do feel better not being caught off guard by a newborn photo.
