Sleeping angel at 23 weeks 💔

52 Replies

Second IVF, twin pregnancy. Lost twin at ten weeks. Pregnancy was horrendous lots of bleeding from 14 weeks. Sadly went into labour and waters broke at home.

Long labour 26 hours, then my princess arrived and she was perfect but sleeping.

This journey is incredibly hard and painful but we will keep going in time.

Oh gosh Missy, I am so deeply sorry for your loss. No one can know the utter heartbreak of what you have gone through unless they experience it but please know you are not alone and we are all here to support you.

You're clearly an incredibly strong, brave woman and those qualities will carry you through this to hopefully a happy destination in the end.

For now though hun, maybe take some time out for you and your partner to heal. Be kind and gentle to yourselves, accept whatever help works best for you be that counselling, making a memorial or something else until this dark cloud passes and you feel the sun once more.

You will get there my lovely and you're a mother now and always and your angel will be shining down on you with love.

Warmest hugs and love to you. Xxx

I can only imagine how very painful this experience is for you and am sending thoughts of strength to help you get through it.

I'm glad that you're able to have a funeral as though it will no doubt be an incredibly hard day for you, it will hopefully also commemorate your babies time with you and help you process your grief.

Lots of love to you at this sad time xxx

Oh missy I am so sad to read this. I have followed your story since the first IVF as we did it at the same time. I was so happy to hear you were pregnant so I am really sorry to hear of your terrible loss.

You are so strong. You deserve all the happiness in the world.

I hope that your miracle comes when you are ready to try again.

Thank you spongy.

I can't believe it, never did I think doing this journey I would be organising my own daughters funeral. I know it can happen but being over half way I thought we had done it.

Next time I will not get excited like this time.

Seeing fertility consultant tomorrow to discuss how long we leave it. This will help me, although I can never replace my princess.

Thank you for your support xxxx

I am so so sorry my lovely sending u massive hugs X we lost our little boy at 36 weeks born a sleeping Angel too. 2016 was the worse year of our lives, it's a really tough horrendous journey of grief I won't lie but it gets easier with time. It never leaves u but u learn to cope better after some time. Meanwhile do whatever u need to to get through it. Counselling really helped us. Talk about it, esp to each other, it can easily tear u apart but by talking lots it keeps u together. Men don't talk about it they need encouraging. You might grieve in different ways and not understand each other's way of grieving, accept the differences but talk it through together to understand how each other are feeling.

Escape if u need to, we did X

The funeral was hard but we put lots into organising it and felt we had done him proud.., but everyone is different, do what feels right for u.

The SANDS forum is a great place for support too, I am in close contact with some amazing women through that forum and we support each other through it X

Take care of yourself and be gentle with each other lots of love xx

Thank you bumpwanted!

I'm so sorry for your loss your message really touched me.

The grief is so raw right as it's only been one week. She should of been 24 weeks today and I'm a mess.

we are talking a lot and my husband has been amazing. We are planning a very quiet funeral but making some special touches like balloons and doves to send off. I will do her proud.

Found out yesterday they found the other twin in the placenta so we are able to collect that little one and place her with princess. Least they can be together again.

I have been on sands website and I will call again today. I will attend the next meeting in April.

I have no idea when I can go back to work, as I'm a health visitor it's going to painful working with families and babies again. We have a five day break after the funeral to Spain.

Getting back to normality just seems so hard: I know it's time and it's too early yet.

Thank you for being so supportive

Xxxxxxx
