have you ever lost a child

posted 10th Dec
I how and when did they pass?

I lost my son after a birth at 21 weeks and 6 days gestation. He lived two days. It still affects me and it was over 5 years ago.

I am so sorry for your loss or anyone else's. I personally have never knowingly experienced a loss but I have friends who have both SIDS and multiple miscarriages and I just can't imagine the pain.

I'm so sorry.  

I have had 3 miscarriages. Some don't consider them losses, but they devastated me.

They are definately losses! and definately devestating!
I was so depressed when i went through mine,
and to make it all worse, no one seemed to understand the pain i was going though.
My brother even asked me when i came home from the hospital, was i glad i miscarried it!

My son was born at 24weeks gestation and he lived for 8 days before he passed away. They said they think he got an infection through his IV in his umbillical cor but that only could of happened because of them. Sorry it makes me mad that one day they say he is doing great and he is progressing really well than the next day they say that we should take him off of the breathing machine and all the other machines also. I hurt everyday because of this i wish he was here with us this would be his first christmas, but i feel like he is kinda coming back to s because i have another lil boy that is due any day now, and he will always be in our hearts. Sorry for the venting on your post.

I had 5 early term miscarriges before being blessed with my DD. The first one I actually happy about (rape baby), the second I was devistated (honeymoon baby) and the rest I lost right at the same time as finding out so while it was still hard to deal with it was easier since it hadnt really sunk in yet.

I'm only asking because I wanted to compare for myself :[
Wow, 11? I'm sorry!

Yeah, but it was a missed miscarriage. The baby passed away between 7 and 8 weeks, but I didn't know until I went to appointment and there wasn't a heartbeat.

No worries. I had to pull lo off the machines. It pisses me off to think about his birth and that pregnancy bc it could have been prevented on multiple occasions. I don't describe it much.

But I had to let go for my sanity. It still tears me up though. Sorry for your loss too.

I am so sorry you've had to lose a child. My mom lost one of my brothers to a heart defect when he was two months old and another brother lost his only child to murder when she was only five years old. My brother still struggles with it and I wasn't around for my other brother's passing but my mom still gets emotional about it, even 27 years later. ):

I had a miscarriage before having my son. I was only about 6 weeks and lost the baby right after finding out I was pregnant at the ER but still. It hurt. A lot. The worst part was hearing my mother-in-law say 'Well, it's not like it was a real baby yet so that's good!' Everyone just expected me to be okay right after. Now it's not so rough. It's been two years and I have my son so I am thankful for that. He's amazing and wouldn't be here had that pregnancy been a healthy one. Still, I do wonder, you know?

I hope somehow, someday you can find some peace with what you experienced. I couldn't imagine what that was like for you and I am honestly so sorry.

I have had one miscarriage at 6 weeks.. It's still the hardest thing I have yet to go through in life. It may have only been the size of a grain of rice but was STILL MY BABY no matter how big or little it was <3. I feel for all the momma's out there that have suffered losses as well. My mother miscarried 6 babies between myself and my little sister. 1 at 23 weeks with downs and 1 at 19 weeks. I know how bad it hurt me as a child watching my mother in so much pain from it all, I could never imagine having a repeat of what has happened to me or especially a late miscarriage   I am 10 weeks pregnant now and all fingers and toes are crossed that this baby will make it to meet this world as a happy healthy baby.
