I found out I lost the baby about a week ago. I had been feeling very regular movement and I haven't felt any in about a week now. I didn't think too much of it because I have an anterior placenta. Then yesterday we had a family emergency and I had enough stress hormones flowing though me that the baby should have been bouncing off of every wall of my uterus. I felt nothing. Then I started having off and on cramping. So I called the nurses line and left a message. They couldn't get me in for an US until today.
When she started the US and started scanning the baby I didn't see any flickering of a HB. I knew it before she said anything. The doctor came in to talk to me and she said that due to the size of my SCH the placenta wasn't able to fully attach and the baby wasn't getting enough to survive.
I'm going to get an induction so that I can at least see this baby, if not hold it. I will also be getting bloodwork or an amnio to determine the sex so that I can give this baby a name. I need to give this baby a name.
I'm so heartbroken. I don't even know how to explain this to my kids. They have been so excited about a new brother or sister.
With all the complications I was having with my SCH, I sorta felt deep down that I would never be able to take this baby home and love on it. I never thought in a million years it would actually be true.
I will miss all of you and I hope I am the last one to experience a loss on this board. ❤
@emeraldcity603 my heart breaks for you. I have no words, at least no good ones. I’m so sorry. Internet hugs. Give your kids extra hugs. Take time to care for yourself. When you feel ready, please come back and announce your child’s name. Let us support you the best we can. Again, I’m so sorry.
I am so incredibly sorry @emeraldcity603. My heart is breaking for you and your family. Please be kind to yourself and love on your kids extra hard - it helps.
No! This seems so unreal. My heart is breaking for you. I am so sorry for your loss. Life is so unfair sometimes and I’m sorry you and your family are going through this. Please take care of yourself and PM me if you need someone to talk to.
I'm so deeply sorry. I'm so heartbroken for you and your family. Having to tell your kids must be so awful and I'm just so sorry. Please be gentle with yourself and give yourself all the time you need to heal. June will miss you so much

@emeraldcity603 I don't have the words but your post brought tears to my eyes. I'm feeling for you and I am heartbroken to read about your loss. Take care of yourself.
I am so sorry @emeraldcity603. Nothing I say in this moment will erase the pain, but I am just so sorry. It is so unfair. I’m praying for a smooth induction and that seeing your sweet baby will bring you peace. Sending you so many hugs.
I started about six different responses and deleted them all. I'm so so so sorry. I'll miss your wisdom on here, but hope you can take the time with your family to mourn your baby (who I'm glad has a name) and heal after this. Praying God shows you more of himself even in a storm like this. Take care of yourself, mama.
When I saw the author of the post, I opened it not wanting to believe it. I am so sorry that your sweet baby is no longer here. I think it is incredibly brave of you wanting to do the induction to hold your little one (if you have any questions on what that is like, you know I am just a PM away, but I also want to give you your space if that’s what you need too)
I would love to know what you name him or her if you feel up to coming back and updating us. DD and I will light a candle for them tonight.
I am really going to miss your humor and no nonsense personality around here. I feel like we are losing two wonderful human beings today. I’m so damn sad and it is so damn unfair.
My heart is breaking for you @emeraldcity603. I know there are no words that can bring you comfort I’m just so sorry. Be kind to yourself and know the members of this board are thinking of you during this difficult time
I am devastated for you your DH, your children and your little one. Please if you want to tell us the name, I would love to honor your little one and know their name. I am so angry for you, why life keeps robbing moms of their babies. It’s not right. None of this is ok.
Holding you and your family in a special place in my heart and I will have my candle going for you all day. I know it means nothing but i am grieving with you too. All my love.
I am so sorry to hear this @emeraldcity603 There’s nothing I can say to adequately express how sad I am to hear your news. My deepest condolences go to you and your family. I hope holding your baby and naming it can bring you some sort of healing.
@emeraldcity603 I am at a complete loss for what to say and I know nothing anyone says will touch the deep pain and sadness that you and your family are experiencing. My heart breaks for you! I wish you healing in your grieving process.
When I saw this, I honestly thought it was a joke. That it couldn’t possibly be true for you. I am so devastated for you and your family. I really hope you can get the care and closure you need. I’m just... I’m out of words. I am so sorry for this.

I feel like I just got steamrolled. I can’t even imagine how you are feeling right now - I just want to hug you. I will light a candle for you and your baby tonight. I am just so, so damn sorry...I wish words could do more. My heart is shattered for you and your family. I am just so bloody sorry...

@emeraldcity603 I am so so sorry about this news. You have been an integral part of this group and you will be sorely missed. Please don’t hesitate to update us if you feel up to it or need a place to vent.
@emeraldcity603 I keep tabs on the group in the hopes that I only see happy news, so it's crushing to see your post. I'm so sorry you are going through this and hope you are able to take some time for yourself and the family to heal.
Ladies, my heart is overflowing with the love you all have shown me. I really appreciate all of you so much.
As of now my induction is scheduled for Friday. I am already contracting though so it may happen naturally before then. Once the baby is born they will take some DNA to determine the sex. It will take about a month for the results. I plan to find a name while I wait. I will come back and share it with you all.
PS. Redirect the next nub theory post to the inappropriate questions thread. Seriously, what a troll.
Hi ladies. A few of us have agreed that not only has today been very hard, but we are all pretty heartbroken for emerald. If you would like to, we (being members of the board) are going to light a candle (tonight, but really anytime in the next couple days) in memory of baby emerald and post the photo here. You can light a real candle in your home and post the photo or just post a GIF of a candle.
