Speechless

I absolutely can not believe all the love and words of encouragement from you all! My husband checked my emails for me and told me there was a link from Victoria and he read them all out to me - I cried. If anyone believes thoughts and prayers dont work they are very wrong. My husband loved the idea about the helium balloon and we are going to do this - thank you.

I started spotting yesterday and after alot of arguing with the doctor and cutting through red tape I finally had to get treatment via ER. After waiting an age they gave me a scan. I should have been 12 and a half weeks but the fetus was only 8 weeks - of course no heartbeat ( I had been twice to the docs worried that I couldnt find a heartbeat at home no-one would listen). They sent me home with a plastic sheet for the bed. I had to go back in this morning for a second scan with a different doctor - a legal requirement! It was confirmed that the baby had died and we discussed treatment. I really wanted to take the natural approach - not sure anyone understands that. So at the moment I am still waiting to pass the fetus - sorry if that upsets anyone. The pains are getting stronger at the moment and I dont mind telling you its pretty scary. I hope I turn out to be as brave as I thinks I am lol.

I wasn't going to say anything in here because I feel people are battling for their lives - it is so amazing to think people are sparing their prayers for me and my little one. Thank you doesnt seem nearly enough

Love to you all

Anna XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I am so very very sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I really do understand because I lost my first baby at 12 weeks and another at 11 weeks. The second one was a fetus of 8 weeks which had not come away. I was heartbroken. I went on to have three healthy children and pray that this blessing comes to you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

  Having been through 2 miscarrages my self, I understand the pain that you are going through. You are in my prayers. I was told that God has his reasons, but yet it is still so hard to accept. Will be thinking of you both. Love, Chris

Had to say, I fully understand why you may have chosen the natural way.  After going through the emotions and feelings I did with my own loss...if I were in your situation..I would be making the same choice....hard and scary now by all means..but later down the road I truly think that you will be glad and find peace in the fact that this was the choice you made.  I'm very happy to hear your hubby liked the helium balloon idea, it really was a comfort to me once I was able to do it.  Please know that if you ever need anything, we are all right here for you ALWAYS.  God bless

So sorry to hear you have to go through this awful time and they made you jump through hoops to listen.
Prayers and best wishes for you and your husband to come out of this on the other end strong and know you are loved.

Honey, you know we are here to love and support you.  I am so sorry you are having to go through this.  That scan you had in the ER should have counted as an emergency under Englands laws and they should not have made you go through the second one.  That is just cruel.  
When I miscarried many many years ago, I planted a memorial garden.  Later when my two girls came along their understanding of the situation was that the people that you love but who can't be with you, grow in your garden.  Over the years of course they learned about heaven but sitting out in that garden made them feel closer to the brother they didn't ever get to meet.
You are part of our community and I am very glad you posted today.  I will continue to pray for your family, that God will give you comfort and peace.
Love,
Jan

Anna  Know that you are loved by all of us, our hearts and prayers do go out to you at this difficult time, believe me when I say, if there was any way on earth that I could be there with you, I would.  I lost 4 babies before Leslee was born, which made her more precious than ever.  With your fighting spirit you will come through this, and return to us soon.  Love  Marty
