  Oh my goodness.  I am at a loss for words.  How horrible it was that you lost your baby, but how wonderful it is that you have made a full recovery.  I did not go through the same thing you did, but my doctors did tell my husband that if they did not deliver my twins that I could have died.  You and your baby girl are in my thoughts.  Thank you for sharing your story.

  Thank each of you so much. I can't begin to explain how touched I am by all the support I've received from you all. I am so happy I've shared mine and Addison's story. I've always been open about what happened in hopes of educating others. I also want Addison's life to be important and shared. Losing her changed Matt and I as people. Down to our core. We not only mourn her loss but we fear for the future in the most serious way. We don't know what will happen in the future. All I hope is that others are aware of the dangers and a cure is found quickly.
  
  I'm so thankful to have an outlet here to share and be heard. I am happy to have encouraged a few of you to share about your babies and your journeys. I know its not for everyone to be open like this but breaking the silence is something I'm passionate about. People need to understand the struggle that comes with pregnancy loss. I'm grateful to be a part of this board, a place where people understand me. I wanted to share an update and let you guys know about the post on Facebook. As of right now it has over 4,500 views. The average for the page is about 200 per post.
  
  I've had so many comments from people I've never met. It was shared on the Indianapolis Promise Walk page and by many of my friends and family. The reaction has been amazing and it feels so good to know I might be making a difference. I could be bringing awareness to just the right person.
  
  Some of the comments made by a couple people made me wish I could respond honestly to them. But sibce im representing the Promise Walk I knew I needed to hold my tounge. It made me even more thankful for this venue because you guys get me. Thank you guys again for the responses. I've shared each of them with my H and he's so impressed by our community. (He also said he had no idea I was such an active poster. )
  
  *Another last note thank you to the ladies who asked about supporting the Promise Walk. That was not AT ALL my intention but I'm so so thankful for your generosity. It means the world to me and I'm so blessed to have ladies like you guys in my life.

  I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your story, especially the struggles your husband went through. I think others that haven't experienced what we have think only of the mother and not the father during a loss.  I know so much of what my husband was focused on during ours was just trying to get me through it- he felt like that was his job. I don't think he got to deal with his own feelings and thoughts on everything until later. I can't imagine if he felt like he might have lost me along with our child. Just such a horrific situation.  Thank you for shedding some light on that aspect as well- you are a very brave woman. ((HUGS))
