Late Term and Child Loss

The worst day

I've been up since 6am yesterday.. And after going to the hospital at 10pm last night an doing 8 hours of test it was confirmed the baby hasn't grown since my last ultra sound and the baby doesn't have a heartbeat.. And bc as of today I'm 15 weeks they had to do surgery to remove the baby.. I feel completely lost and heartbroken .. All I can seem to do is cry.. And I know my husbands heartbroken too.. All I want is him to crawl in bed with me an hold me and yet he just wants to be left alone and deal with it in his own way which I get.. I just don't know how to handle this whole thing :(

    I'm so, so sorry for your loss. Did you name your baby? 

    Please know you're among friends now and you can be yourself. There's no judgment here and the ladies are very, very supportive and wonderful.

    Recently, there was a thread created with new Angel Mommies like you in mind:

  • I am so sorry for your loss! I was in a very similar spot 3 weeks ago after finding out our little boy no longer had a HB at 18 weeks!  What you are feeling is very normal. It is going to take time to heal -- please allow yourself to cry & grieve!  I have found that my husband has dealt with his grief differently as well.  I am sorry.  I wish I had more advice.  I am still figuring out how to handle my grief as well. I still cry a lot and find that there are so many triggers.  I am told that this is normal and that helps me!

    I have talked to 2 friends who have experienced similar losses & that has helped me a lot. I have wanted to find a support group to talk with other women but I have not found one that works with my schedule yet. I have thought seriously about seeing a therapist but have not yet.  For me, talking about my  thoughts, sadness, grief, etc has been very helpful.  However, I know we all grieve in different ways. 

    We planted a tree at our house to honor our little boy (we named him Ethan.)  I have found much peace in looking at his tree and watering his tree each night. 

    Sending you lots of love. Please know that you are not alone! Thinking of you and sending many many hugs!!
