How much of a Puss???

I recently lost my daughter on 1/21/13. She was born sleeping at 24 weeks.

Anyways. I want to get a tattoo like this: Another mommy of an angel on here showed me now I am deff getting one here.



The problems is how bad does it hurt?
I have a pretty high pain tolerance, I just grit my teeth and bare it. The nurses seemed impressed the way I handled the pain of being induced ect... so I figure if I can deal with the pain of that and losing Gracie, I can deal with getting a tattoo. I have two other one on my hip bone and one on my shoulder. I thought the one on my shoulder blade didn't hurt, but the one ony my hip bone was very painful... I have small bony hips. At least there is fat under my arm, im a whimp there is no muscle lol.

I was wondering the same thing, how bad does it hurt?

and I am so very sorry for your loss

Wonderful...   Maybe I will have to go back twice lol...

Thank u. It has been the hardest two months of my life.
She died from hydrops. A very rare disease that causes heart failure from excess fluid built up in her body. Like 1 out of 150,000 is the odds.

Oh I am so sorry. I lost my firstborn at 21 weeks, my water broke and she was just too young to survive. She would have turned 17 this year.

I'm sorry I don't think it ever gets easier. We just learn to live with it. My son was born at 32 weeks healthy. I have trouble with being pregnant.

this is why it's so intense to be a female.

*is pregnant right now*

we hold all this volatile power inside our bodies and it can just... it can nearly break you when it breaks.

i'm so sorry you had to experience this. maybe the pain'll make sense when you get the tattoo...

Thank you Mara. I honeslty wish this on no one.
I am getting genetic testing done to see if it will happen again.
I would like to try again for a baby within the next year or so.
IDK if that is too soon or not, but I wanted another child so much I just can't help it. But I will never be able to replace Gracie, maybe a baby will fill my void for wanting to be the mother of another child.

Hey Em, it didn't hurt at all really. The closer he got to my elbow it started to feel really scratchy, but no real pain. In the end I just felt better to have her with me forever. I hope you get it and it doesn't hurt. Have you decided on a design yet? I just drew Scarlett' s and took it into the guy.

Hey yeah I am getting it written in black with Scroll type letter found it on a text web site. With her footprint above Gracie and ther birthday at the bottom.

Don't really have a pic yet. I need to have them draw it up.
