Hey everyone,I hope this is the right forum to post this sensitive topic. I was wondering if anyone would like to share their story of a lost pregnancy either due to miscarriage, or perhaps abortion. A loss, regardless on the why, is still a loss deeply felt and forever marked on the heart and soul. I lost 3. My little junebugs hold a special place in my heart. I remember them and miss their prescence. Being pregnant was like having a little buddy with me. Altho pregnancy was hard on me, i was amazed and happy to have life growing inside of me. My second pregnancy was the hardest and hurt the most deeply. Iam not sure if it was baby blues, but i was sad for a long time. Much longer than the first and third loss respectively. I know this may sound silly, but i remember reading my horoscope for either nov/dec '10 and something about jupiter granting a special wish... Had me hoping and wishing for a pregnancy and towards the end of december i felt different. I was preggers. Iam wondering what a fourth will hold and how others have coped with ongoing ttc after multiple losses. IP: Logged |

I'm terribly sorry. But I'm not a woman.As a father. I've lost a full term live new born, a pre-term late newborn and three miscarriages. Each time has been uniformly traumatic. However, burying children has been my toughest life experience. IP: Logged |

@YoursTrulyAlways,Iam so very sorry for your losses. Loosing a live newborn is devestating. I cannot know the pain in your heart. I knew with my past pregnancies and future pregnancies that my chances of reaching 25 weeks is slim. But i still hold hope in my heart that we can make it all the way. 9months!! I dont want to give up on my babe making it this time around. I picture his little soul waiting to come back again. I hope you dont give up either. Have faith. I have considered surrogacy, but want to hold off a few more years before making it an option. Have you considered other options for having children? IP: Logged |

JuneThird,Thank you very much. Actually I have two sons. The elder son is now 16 and a half years old and was born 11 months after the passing of his sister, who had a genetic condition in utero which is shared by my son My son had a kidney transplant as a baby and is in line for another kidney and a liver transplant. While chronically ill, you would never know just by looking at him. He is a well adjusted highly successful and accomplished teen heading to college in two years. . My next child was the pre term late newborn of undetermined sex, and then there were two miscarriages: a first trimester and then a second trimester. My second son is now 7 years old and is perfectly healthy. IP: Logged |

At two months old!! My heart aches for you! I'm so sorry!! You're a pillar of strength. You mean two month old babies, am I correct? Or do you mean pregnancies at eight weeks, not that it's any less tragic? But the difference in emotional trauma is huge. IP: Logged |

"Lullaby"Well, I know the feeling Of finding yourself stuck out on the ledge And there ain't no healing From cutting yourself with the jagged edge I'm telling you that, it's never that bad Take it from someone who's been where you're at Laid out on the floor And you're not sure you can take this anymore So just give it one more try to a lullaby And turn this up on the radio If you can hear me now I'm reaching out To let you know that you're not alone And if you can't tell, I'm scared as hell 'Cause I can't get you on the telephone So just close your eyes Oh, honey here comes a lullaby Your very own lullaby Please let me take you Out of the darkness and into the light 'Cause I have faith in you That you're gonna make it through another night Stop thinking about the easy way out There's no need to go and blow the candle out Because you're not done You're far too young And the best is yet to come So just give it one more try to a lullaby And turn this up on the radio If you can hear me now I'm reaching out To let you know that you're not alone And if you can't tell, I'm scared as hell 'Cause I can't get you on the telephone So just close your eyes Oh, honey here comes a lullaby Your very own lullaby Well, everybody's hit the bottom Everybody's been forgotten When everybody's tired of being alone Yeah, everybody's been abandoned And left a little empty handed So if you're out there barely hanging on... Just give it one more try to a lullaby And turn this up on the radio If you can hear me now I'm reaching out To let you know that you're not alone And if you can't tell, I'm scared as hell 'Cause I can't get you on the telephone So just close your eyes Oh, honey here comes a lullaby Your very own lullaby Oh, honey here comes a lullaby Your very own lullaby By Nickleback Yes.

I've lost two. There was a point in time when I was trying to conceive with artifical insemination for 2 1/2 years. It's a rollercoaster ride and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. However, I believe everything happens for a reason and looking back on it, I know why I didn't get to have a baby then. I know in my heart that I will be a mother some day... when it's the right time. Many blessings to those who have also suffered through the loss of a child. IP: Logged |

(((Hugs June)))I have lost several, very traumatic the worst being my son at sixteen weeks pregnant. The worst thing of it was having an emergency D & C and not being able to see him and hold him. I did name him in my heart, my Andrew but wished so much to be able to bury him. as this didn't happen, I planted a rose bush for him as his birth would have been in June (June roses). This was 12 years ago, and it still hurts when I think of how things might have been. I always felt my son was missing, and that my teen son needed his brother. My ex boyfriend and I broke up a few months later, the loss had much to do with how things panned out. I think it hurt him very much as to this date, he looks the other way should our paths cross. Anyways, I never stopped longing for my son despite the blessing of having two beautiful children. After remarrying, waited awhile to try again as a few more early miscarriages brought back the pain. I was afraid of never having another healthy child, and then at last my Christmas miracle son arrived
although I will always miss my lost son, having my new child has brought much healing. I don't feel my Christmas child is the soul of the angel baby, but that the angel baby is his guardian angel I'm also enjoying being more present and happier as a mom, as my older two were born before I was mature, was very very young.
