Sad news

After bleeding 3 weeks ago, a scan confirmed last thursday that my waters had broken. Hospital say that if I don't miscarry naturally by this thursday they will induce me, there is still a heart beat but little babe is so badly deformed and development is retarded there is no chance of survival regardless. They can give me no real reason as to why this has happened, but test on feotal tissue will maybe shed some light. They seem to think I just cannot carry a girl, although sex has not been confirmed at this stage. Thankfully I already have threee strong healthy happy little boys.

I miscarried once before... april of '07.
Fortunately I was only like 5 weeks along so I wasn't quite that attatched yet unlike this one I'm carrying now because I'm farther along and I can feel it growing in there now.
But they say that the soul that chose your baby this time, if it doesn't work out, it will come back the next time.
So your baby will come back to you.

I'm terrified of losing this one.
I have nightmares about m/c.
I'm so so sorry to hear about what you're going through.
And like you said, it makes it all the morre worse that the poor dear is still alive and the heart is still beating.
I'm not the one going through this but it still hurts me and probably every other woman that reads this.

I'll keep you in my prayers and wish you a healthy and peaceful recovery.

I've just got home, went into labour myself on friday and she was delivered very gracefully after three hours, the placenta took more work. She is very beautifull and we got her blessed and the chaplin named her Robin. It wasn't as physically painfull as I expected and was very dignified, even though she decided to come feet first, she fits just right in her daddies hand. Her brothers are very very upset. I am tired and hurting, but just can't get out my mind how beautifull she is - my love for her is stronger than it was for my boys at birth. Got to sleep, I don't feel very well atall. Thanks everyone for your support.

Good luck, God be with you and stay as strong as you can.

I'm 15 weeks pregnant, but babe is already deformed, can see it on the scans, on thursday I will be 16 weeks. They've said the contractions are likely to stop the heartbeat, but babe could come out alive, although not for long, there are no lungs and brain formation is not there. I knew my waters had gone, and I expected to be taken to theatre after the first scan, but because there was still a heart beat I've been left to wait -- I've said many times that that was the hardest part, I was prepared for babe to have gone already. I'm afraid, because I must labour to pass babe, surgery is not an option, although I think I am going to ask for heavy sedation, I think it will keep it as dignified and gracefull as can be and I will be spared any horror.

That is so sad. =(  I had 2 miscarriages last year so I know the pain of losing a baby. But to be told all that at once is really tough. How far along are you?

The fact that there is still a heart beat makes it worse I think, its so sad to think that she is holding on in there but has no chance for life --- I've had a word with her though, told her to go to heaven and that mommy doesn't mind as long as she is out of pain and having a life elsewhere that would be better than I can offer.
Thanks for your support.
