Im so sorry for your loss. Losing a baby at any stage is very difficult. I too lost my first last August (we only discovered at our 12 wks that the fetus stopped growing at 9wks so it was a complete shock:my body still felt pregnant but the baby was gone) and it was a very dark time for us. We were lucky to conceive shortly afterwards and now I am 20wks. The thoughts of loss crosses my mind daily and I still worry everyday and pray that this one makes it to full term. I've been so scared that I've not told anyone else about my pregnancy besides my parents and in-laws and inspite of having a scan today, I'm still hesitant to tell people (unless they see me as I can't hide it). If you don't mind me asking, were they able to find the cause of the loss?
I wish you all the strength and a good recovery. May your dreams of having a baby of your own come true real soon. Keeping you and your angel in my prayers.

Just like SavyB said I had mine at 17 wks.  It takes time to get over it.  It took me four years to try again.  And now I am 21 wks and I take day by day.  I have a lot of doctors this time trying to make sure we can make it to the end.  I am waiting on my little girl to get here.  Sorry for your lost.

So very sorry for your loss!! My son was born @ 21 weeks in 2013, due to twin to twin transfusion. He was alive for 2 hours & then passed away. Honestly, a part of me died that day & I have not been the same since. I fell into a deep depression & my boyfriend & I are on the rocks because of it. I found out I was pregnant again (21 weeks now ) & I am so happy & it does take some of the pain away, but I am so scared that something is going to go wrong. I just take it day by day. I want nothing more than to be a mommy! It will come for you probably sooner than you think. It did with me anyway. Just be strong & try to press on!

Hi sorry for your loss. We lost our little boy in april He was also my first. He was born at 23 weeks we was told it was a miscaridge and he would die on arival. He managed to stay with us for two weeks at st marys nicu. He was just to early and tiny to survive. Loosing your baby is the worst pain imaginable but it will get better with time. in your nezt pregnancy they will do everyhing possible to help you carry full term there are lots of options. I am now 20 weeks pregnant and have a cervical suture in place to try and help me reach ful term. Each day with no problems is a blessing.

Stay strong and dont blame your self. Xx

I am soooo sorry i had a miscarriage at 10 weeks but when ur soo far long gone it is harder...you wnt the honest truth it was the hardest thing I've ever been through...nothing will replace the emptiness...I struggled sooo much emotionally I was like traumatised for months after but when I got pregnant again it gave me a reason to live..like my child I lost brought me a gift...u need to be as positive as u can ..surround yourself with people and freinds keep busy and dnt think u did anything wrong ...I kept on blaming myself...its going to be hard but hopefully hun...ul be blessed with another child..x
