completely heart broken.

Im 34 weeks almost 35 and this morning my grandmother passed away. It was shocking news and saddens me terribly ive been crying all day. What bothers me is that my precious baby boy will never get to know hos great grandma. My baby shower is next friday and its going to hurt so bad knowing that she wont be there. With this said im also worried that me being so stressed and upset will set me into early labor os this possible? ?

My grandmother passed in January VERY unexpectedly. I was extremly close with her so it was hard for me. When I got the call I literally had an anxiety attack on the floor where I couldnt breath. I was also slightly depressed for a while. But my baby is fine. This is her first grandchild and she won't get to meet him and that thought still destroys me. I don't think you ever get over that.

I have just gone through the same thing. My grandfather passed and my friends threw me a suprise baby shower which was the day after the funeral.only difference for me is that i knew the end was coming for him as he had cancer. Im now 35wks and baby still hanging in there.

I am so sorry for your loss I know that's a hard thing to cope with especially when your about to be a mom but I'm praying you don't go into early labor just try take it one day at a time

I'm so sorry you have to go through this :( dealing with a loss is hard enough without being pregnant. I'm not sure of your beliefs, but I believe that those who are not with us in body are with us in spirit. I hope you can find solace in that she is watching over you and your family and guiding your little one.
The emotions in grief are strong and as long as you keep taking care of yourself you and baby will be fine. Sending you love and comfort xo

My deepest condolences to you and your family. Its okay to cry, its way better than holding it in. I think holding it would be worse for baby. Hugs wishing u strength through this hard time.
