Oct 15 is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Remembrance Day

thankfully · October 2016

Today is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Remembrance Day. Can we take a moment today to remember all of the babies gone too soon? Sending love to all the moms and families who know this loss. And especially to those moms going through it now. I'm lighting a candle at 7pm in their honor.

Absolutely!

Remembering my ectopic peanut that we wanted so badly. The joy gets knocked out of you like the wind gets knocked out of your lungs.

What a sweet and important thread to start. I'm sorry for all the Mommas who have a LO to post here and I know they are forever in your hearts. We had our share of heartbreak in our 3 years of IF struggles. I feel for all.

I miscarried at 10 weeks on Father's Day this year.
It was the worst thing that has ever happened. My heart goes out to each of you who have experienced a loss.

Thank you for this thread.

Edit: posted to soon

Thank you for bringing this up.

ETA: I'm really mad. This was a really long post. Apparently Only my first sentence posted.

Thank you for this thread!

Remembering our #1 Feb 2015 surprise, our #2 January 2016 babe & our #3 May 2016 squishy. We are praying for this rainbow to stick around!

I gave birth to a son, Locke, on 10/8/15 at 37w4d. The day before, my daughter and I went in for a check up, and his heart had stopped beating. They rushed me for an ultrasound and I was induced the next day.

I slept skin to skin, covered him in kisses, bathed his little body, have a bit of his hair, a cast of his foot, and foot and hand prints. You can't fit a lifetime of love into a day. He looked just like his sister. I dressed him once after bathing him and redressed and swaddled him for the hospital basement, keeping clothes that smell like him. We even had a NILMDTS photographer take pictures.

My D12 moms saved me during that time. They have no idea how much they mean to me.

It it took a month to decide how to handle his little body. I had a viewing for myself, my husband, daughter, and my parents. Then, we cremated him, immediately after the viewing. I was there, present in the rooms, for every step of that, too.

His star stuff now rests in our house, in a box with his things.

There is no stopping point to the grief and it comes in waves. Everyone's grief and experience is unique to them, and mine is no exception.

Ladies, as we share, can you please add the names of your babies, if you had named them?

I am on PST, so I'm in a different time zone than most, but I'd love to light a candle for each baby when I get home.

@semicolon I honestly can't even imagine the pain and longing. So much love for you, your family, and your rainbow baby!

@NamelessAria so many little angels looking over you and baby to be. I have a really good feeling about this one. Sending you the best positive vibes!

NamelessAria · October 2016

@email2ash I have a pretty good feeling this time also but it's still terrifying! I found this onesie the other day and it really made me super teary. My husband and I may get it and use it for the pregnancy reveal for this little one if we make it that far
