I'm not sure if we're allowed to share our stories here? Please remove if not as I don't want to be insensitive. My story is below.
My milk is coming in today and that makes my loss seem much more difficult and real today so I had to reach out for support.
My original due date was January 3, 2015.
Our daughter Rose Naimia was born August 31 at 8:59pm and passed away peacefully in our arms two hours later. I was 22 weeks, 1 day pregnant. She weighed exactly 1 pound and was 9" long. Her name means comfort, happiness, tranquility, and peace. She was a little gift for us as our second child.
Pregnancy complications included a subchorionic hemmorage at 11 weeks, frequent bleeding due to placenta previa, bed rest, then strong, frequent contractions nightly for a week preceding her birth. I was given Procardia pills to stop the contractions but on Sunday night they did not work and labor progressed. My water broke at the hospital and there was nothing more we could do to try and stop it. Our care was respectful and excellent and we had the best case scenario out of a worst case experience.

Everyone Welcome.
Thank you for sharing your story of your sweet Rose; I'm so sorry for your loss. Like someone else said, it's a huge slap in the face to still feel the after-effects of birth (milk coming in, body still looking pregnant) with no baby to bring home. I felt panicked for weeks after losing my son, but I just bought bigger sizes of normal clothes instead of just wearing my maternity clothes around until I could get back into my normal clothes. It was too hard to even look at my maternity clothes for awhile after his loss.
I'm so sorry to welcome you here. I hope that we can be here for you as much as you need us. *hugs*
