I need a blanket fort (other's late term loss mentioned)

NoeliaV · October 2014

I hope I'm warning appropriately.

A friend on our local board just lost her daughter at 38wks. WTF, man. I spent most of the weekend convincing myself that symptoms can fluctuate in severity, that "today I am pregnant, and I love my baby" (and all the other mantras), offering support to those from my BMB who are experiencing losses, and just counting down the days until our first u/s so I can breathe a little more easily.

And then this horrible reminder that the worry may never be over. That this awful experience of loss keeps happening. It's so unfair, and I just cannot wrap my head around why. My heart hurts for her and her H.

Apologies for the stream of consciousness. It's just... so incredibly unfair and sad.

my heart breaks for her. I can't even imagine what she must be going through right now. Hugs to her.

My heart breaks for them. Just awful.

Thank you, ladies. It's nice to know that others send them sympathies too.
@rn536 ((( hugs ))) for you, too. I wish there wasn't a need for magic words, but yeah, magic words would be nice too.

I pray that she and her H find peace.

I try to remember that fear will not prevent a loss.

Many of us pull back a bit from the BMB during the first tri because of all this loss.

((Hugs)) hope it is cozy in your fort.

Words can't express the sadness I feel by reading this. My prayers will be with your friend and her family. Hugs!!

So sorry for your friend's loss. Unfortunately I know how she feels. I lost my daughter Ana at 37 weeks, for unknown reasons. I'm actually more worried as my pregnancy goes on. Most are excited/relieved to feel those kicks. I'm scared. Terrified that they will stop and I will think my baby is dead. Late term loss is rare, so I don't want to scare anyone. It does happen though.

I'm glad everyone is supporting her. It is seriously the worst thing someone can go through.

I'm sorry to hear about your friend. It's hard not to worry when something like this happens close to you. I had a friend last week suffer a loss and we were due around the same time. That immediately set me back. I tell myself that I will not let fear take away the joy of this pregnancy. I have to have faith that my angel is watching over her and will bring her home to us.
