Absent

I'm back. Thank you to everyone who emailed to express their concern or to complain about the lack of posts. As a few of you already know, we found out at our second ultrasound last Monday that the baby has died. I had a D&C on Thursday afternoon, and I have spent the last couple days recovering, both emotionally and physically.

There is so much more I want to say, but I can't seem to write any of it right now.

I'll be back tomorrow.

So sorry to hear this.

It will be tough to recover from this, but judging from your posts , you seem to be the type of person who is quite capable of recovering from this terrible event.

Good Luck & Keep Posting

I'm so sorry to hear this. We went through a very similiar experience and I know that it is very tough. When it happened to us it was hard but it was made a little bit better to have the love of each other to help cope. It sounds like you have that too.

Our second pregnancy was successful, just as I know that yours will be. Take care and just take it a day at a time.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your baby. Take a moment to check out my blogroll as there are lots of sites by women who have gone through this and it is comforting to know that you are not alone in this journey.

I'm very sorry about your loss. I agree that you should take your time to do the things you need to and not worry about writing here. I'm sure everyone understands.

Take care.

"For my own part, I declare I know nothing whatever about it. But to look at the stars always makes me dream, as simply as I dream over the black dots of a map representing towns and villages. Why, I ask myself, should the shining dots of the sky not be as accessible as the black dots on the map of France? If we take the train to get to Tarascon or Rouen, we take death to reach a star. One thing undoubtedly true in this reasoning is this: that while we are alive we cannot get to a star, any more than when we are dead we can take the train."
-Vincent van Gogh

My first visit to your site. Perhaps the Higher Power is at work. I am sorry to hear of your loss. It can be particularly difficult to lose a child as you mourn not only the loss of the child but the loss of their potential- who they could have been and how they would have transformed your life. Be gentle with yourself as you absorb the meaning of this loss in your life. Take comfort in the loving touch of those around you and invite them to accompany you on the path to healing. Take care, BW

oh, i'm very, very sorry. i came in this morning wanting to hear a bit more of your adventure in preparations, and to hear this, .. just quite a lot to take. I know you will take comfort in your family and friends who can be near. And if you are a Bible reader, the fact that you may again see your baby in the future in the resurrection. Take care, Mrs. Savvy. I'll be thinking of you today and remembering your pain. Please let us know how you are doing if you can. Much respect, vb

I am truly very sorry to hear this. I have gone through a miscarriage and D&C as well so I know how difficult it can be. Hang in there and know that it does get easier in time.

I am sure that you are sad, angry, confused, etc...
My wife and I found out, 4 years ago, that she was going to have our second child. 3 months into the pregnancy, she had a miscariage. We were devestated. Emotionally, we were drained, and physically, she was hurting. There are no words avaliable to describe the utter sadness that we felt. 4 years later, with our 6 year old and our new 2 year old, we still think about our little "William" or "Faith"...
We believe that our baby is in heaven, and that we shall see our baby, and hold our baby, and know our baby. You will be in my prayers...
Thank you for sharing with us...
We are all touched...

I am so sorry to hear that. It happened to me last Aug. And it was also our first baby. I totally understand how hard it is to get through this. Don't push yourself too hard to write posts. Take your time to recover. Wish all the best to you.

Sorry to hear about your loss, it is extremely heartbreaking to not hear that heartbeat, but keep your spirits up. We have had 3 kids since that disappointment, one singleton and a set of twins.
