re: Full Term Loss

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I was 36 weeks with my girl Ashley but we had extreme complications & circumstance sfrom the start (very long story there). She arrived naturally & stillborn in January.

Some days, are much harder than others. We always think of her & acknowledge she was our daughter (we've got one family member who pretends she was never born) which I think makes it that lil bit easier seeing she was our first child. But I still often have days when I'll cry over something stupid or see a pregnant lady having a fuss made over here & just burst into tears.

We're at the point of TTC again too (we were told not to wait too long) but we made sure we had counselling, spoke to each other, family etc..... from the start as we were both didn't want to feel with our next pregnancy like this baby was a 'replacement' for one we lost. So we've always been encouraged to talk about her whenever we feel like it. Doesn't heal the pain but it makes us feel more like she is a part of us & the family still.

Nothing will ever replace Ashley but we stay positive, looking forward to the day we get to bring home our happy, healthy addition to the family.

I too am so sorry for your loss.
I was 38 wks pregnant with my son Marley Alexander and I went in to the ER with concerns regarding lack of movement. They couldn't determine if his heartbeat was present so they got the ultrasound machine and I saw my beautiful boy one last time with no heart beat. I had a c-section and was out of the hospital the next day. I feel an emptiness because I was ready for his arrival any day and I will never see Marley's smile, Marley's eyes, or hearMarley's laugh. But I know that he is with God and that gives me great comfort (sometimes)...

I am so sorry. We were both on the Jan 2010 mommies broad,but I lost my son, Zachary at 20 weeks in August. He wasn't still born he did live for two mintues.I just want you to know that I lite a candel for your son tonight.

I lost my little girl at 34 weeks....she was fine the day before, and I feel the same way you do, if only I was induced the day before, I would have had my little girl. Its been over 3 years now and I miss her with all my heart and can never forget her. I promise it does eventually get easier...you will cry less and less and act "normal" again, but the heartache is still there. *Hugs* mama, I am sorry you had to go through this.

im so sry to hear about all the losses. ive never went thru it but i worried about it the whole time i was pregnant. your angels are watching over you everyday.

Im sorry for your loss.
I wasn't full term but I lost my baby at 22 weeks, she had a heart problem, I gave birth to Sophia Marie Sept. 13 and was able to hold her.

I know your pain all too well. My youngest son 6 weeks away from being full term. He was stillborn and had his cord wrapped around 3 times. He died bc he had a really bad e.coli infection. If you need anyone to talk to, Im here for you
