sad :-(

So I thought I would share my story . I dont talk much about it and I feel like I need to for healing purposes and I feel safe here with u mommy's :-)

So last summer me and my boyfriend find out we were pregnant !! Wasnt planned, we just moved to Massachusetts from Florida. Mind you all my family is back in Florida, we felt as if we needed a fresh start which thank goodness we did, and its working out great :-) but im 23 and I miss my family :-( especially knowing I just found out I was pregnant . Me and mybboyfriend ended up fighting and wernt getting along ect. Well thankfully we grew closer than we ever been with the pregnancy .


Well in January, I stopped feeling my little man (I was 7 months by now) and I became very worried. I tried everything, I drank cool drinks and waited on my side to feel my bundle of joy...nothing. so I called my doctor, they told me to go to labor and delivery. I immediately knew something was wrong. We got there and they hooked me up to stress test. They seemed like nothing out of norm was happening, I was wrong. We had to get a ultrasound and we then learned there was fluid, alot of fluid around the baby and his heart rate was sky rocketing :-( we immediately had to get him put!! They wanted to send me to boston because there were more pediatric help there for when the baby came out ( we just learned there was something wrong with his heart and there was a big chance he might not make it ) but we were stuck in a blizzard so we had to do an emergency c section there. We wernt even there for an hour and  I just had an epidural and was preped for surgury. I didnt listen to them I prayed to god and thought this couldnt happen to us our baby boy has to make it!!!! I was wrong he didnt :-( we were devastated to say the least , ughhh just thinking about it kills me inside . My boyfriend had just as hard of a time with coping, we started drinking were depressed, we didnt know how to go on with our life with the empty baby room in our house and no harvey ( thats what we named him ) we finally got back to work and started going on about our lifes in march, april. Well we found out a month ago were pregnant again !!!! We did tests, what happened to harvey wanst genetic, he developed ( strawberries) in his heart and there isnt even 100 cases of it ever!!

Well now im currently 13w5 days and im being watched closley just in case but Its hard, its stressful and emotionaly draining :-( Its hard, we are estatic to be blessed with another chance but we miss our little boy harvey . Were kinda just going thru it without talking about it like we did with harvey, we just want it to kinda fly by but idk just having a hard time with it. My boyfriend is having a harder time, cause he doesnt want to get his hopes up. :-( I feel in my heart that everything will be fine but astill, it was not long ago at all and were still mourning for our son, so its hard to enjoy this happy time.

Thanks for reading this, and congratulations to you all :-) I just needed to write that I guess. Thanks

Sorry for your lost and congrats I pray that you have a healthy baby and if you keep praying about it everything will work out for the both of you I do understand a little cuz I have had miscarriages b4 so with this child that Im carrying now I really didn't talk about it until recently. I'm 6months and I didn't really come out and tell people until a couple of weeks ago when I really started to show and I had my sono to tell me the sex and see if he was healthy and I still get worried but since I've been feeling movement I feel a little better knowing that he's ok

I also had a miscarriage in January 14....It was the worst day of my life that's  the day I lost my precious Emily Sophia. I can't even describe the pain I felt until the day before my due date June 23 when I was supposed to deliver my baby and I had nothing (crying sorry) but on my due date June 24 I found out we're pregnant again!! I felt sooo happy God is sending us another blessing but I still will always miss my Sophie. In a way I feel I didn't lose my baby she will just be a little late. God bless you

My condolences go out to you and your husband. My sister in law lost her baby at 7 months pregnate and it was the saddest time for all of us. They to drank alot to get rid of the pain. You are blessed to have another one I kmow it is hard to not be worried but try to enjoy it. Your little boy will forever be in your hearts but when you see this baby the pain will ease. I am currently 11 weeks pregnate and I am worried as well because pf what happened to her. But I am taking all the necessary precautions and just praying. Keep your head up it will get better ♡

Im sorry for you lost I went threw the exact same thing with my daughter . I was also seven months but I already knew she had alot of fluid around her heart & the doctor told me it was a 50/50 chance she might live . I was supposed to go back to a doctor's appointment the following week but I didn't make it because I started feeling excruciating pains followed by my daughter moving like she never moved before . The only difference is that I heard her die . They had her heartbeat hooked up so we could hear it & it just slowly went away . That was the hardest times for me and her father . But I had a normal delivery . Just imagine knowing your child is not alive & still having to push her out. That was the worst  & this happened 4 years ago . Im also  pregnant right now im 2 months & im praying everything goes right this time . Just know that your not alone

Your story just touched me. You and your boyfriend have to find a way to get through this tough time together. So that the two you can enjoy the new blessing you have received. I know it may take a little while but god wanted you Harvey as a angel. He is blessing you with another another gift to help you guys feel whole again. I'm going pray for you and your boyfriend. Day will get better and soon you will have a beautiful baby boy or girl in your arms. Remember take one step to recover everyday will help you heal.
