Shortly before Mother's Day I received a packet of information from the hospital where I had my D&C regarding Pregnancy/Newborn Loss. I kinda put off reading the material, but flipped through it all last night. Most of it was about the support groups they have available. Great idea, but I know my husband wouldn't be into it and they recommend couples come together, plus I feel I'm getting the support I need here. {{hugs}} to all of you. The last pamphlet was titled "Caring for Your Baby's Remains". At first I thought it was an odd pamphlet to receive nearly a month after my procedure, but I read it anyway. I found out that for pregnancies that end before 20 weeks they do a mass burial every 3 months. I broke down in tears...I had no idea that they do that. And I have no idea how I really feel about going.
BFP: 3/9/2014 EDD: 11/11/2014 MMC: 4/10/2014 D&C: 4/11/2014
