Hi everyone
I just joined the forum today, and the first thing I want to do is share my experience from last year with any of you out there who are suffering the pain of losing a baby.
Last May I found out that I was expecting and was delighted. My partner and I began to talk about the baby (even nicknamed him/her Ickle Bean), made plans and even bought a travel system. Unfortunately, when I went for my 12 week scan the baby did not have a hearbeat, and had died at 9 weeks 3 days.
The period that followed has to be one of the most painful experiences of my life, the loss I felt was like nothing I had been through before. To make matters worse, I opted for a medical rather than surgical procedure which was not successful and I ended up rushed into theatre with massive blood loss and had to have a surgical procedure to 'evacuate' my baby. It was one of the hardest things I ever had to cope with.
When I fell pregant again in October I was terrified of going through the same thing again, every time I went to the loo I was checking for blood, constantly anxious and felt like I could't accept that I was having a baby in case I had to lose it again. I'm 16 weeks now, and had a healthy scan three weeks ago, and have just started to feel the baby's first movements.
I just want to tell you that I understand how awful it is to lose a baby, but I firmly believe that things are all supposed to happen for a reason, and if I hadn't been through my painful experience then I wouldn't be where I am today.
Wishing you love and luck for the future.... and a friendly ear to anyone that would like to get in touch.
