Another Angel in Heaven

12 weeks 1 day we said goodbye to baby W, I went in to the emergency room on Sunday afternoon with very very little spotting after a failed attempt to find the baby's heartbeat with the Doppler and with the external ultrasound an internal ultrasound was ordered. It was then we discovered that baby w had stopped growing right after my 8 week 6 day ultrasound there was no heartbeat it was one of the worst things expecting parents have to hear. Soon after the decision was made to have a D&C. We were sent home and returned early Monday morning. The procedure went well, they will be doing testing to hopefully give us some answers on what went wrong. We are now at home recovering and grieving. I wouldn't change anything about the way we celebrated this baby and prepared early for this baby. I am so heartbroken that this had to happen I am trying to tell myself over and over that there was something not developing right with the baby and that it happened for a reason, but that doesn't make the pain any easier. I won't be returning to work for a while and I may take a break for blogging while we heal. Please pray for not only our healing, but the healing of our loved ones that this has also affected. I wish everyone the best and will continue to pray for all of you who's journeys I follow.

  4. I'm so so sorry to hear this...it's my own story almost to a T. 12 w1d trip to the ER with spotting and found out baby died somewhere in between 8 and 9 weeks, just a day or two after my ultrasound at 8w3d. My heart is literally breaking for you as I can remember the whole experience vividly. It's gut wrenching and soul sucking and unlike any pain I've ever experienced. Please take all the time you need to grieve and heal. We will all be here for you when you get back. And please please please feel no obligation to follow any of our blogs or our journeys, I'm sure we'd all completely understand if you just delete any and all pregnancy related blogs from your blogroll. I tried a few times to continue to follow some bloggers through their pregnancies and let me tell you, it isn't worth it! Found myself in a ball of tears every time. Think of yourself first. My heart goes out to you and your husband as you attempt to deal with and heal after this most devastating loss.

  11. I am so very sorry to hear the news. It's absolutely heartbreaking and I hate that you have to experience this loss. After working so hard to get where you were its terrible to have it all taken away. Take time for you and your husband to be together and grieve. Hugs to you both.

  12. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. My heart goes out to you and your husband. There are no words that will make things better, but I promise with time you will heal. We lost our first little one at a few days short of 12 weeks as well. It took months before I was back to myself and honestly I don't think I'll ever be the same person I was before the loss (in a good way). If there is anything you need, even if just to talk please know that I'm here.

I'm just so deeply sorry this has happened to you. I know that pain that is filling your heart right now and I am so sad that you have suffered this loss.

  26. Here from another blog to offer some support during this painful time. I lost twins at 20 weeks and know all too well the heartache in the waiting, failures, and loss. No person should ever have to go through this, let alone more than once. My one loss was enough for a lifetime and I am afraid to keep moving forward. But we do. You will too.
    Please know that there are dozens of women out there thinking of you and praying for your lost baby. My thoughts are filled with peace and hope for you and your future.
