My husband and I found out around January 11th that we were expecting our second child. Needless to say we were shocked due to the fact that we just decided to start trying at the tail end of November. Although we were shocked we were also excited beyond belief. That excitement turned into extreme concern around January 24th when the complications began. The concern then turned into extreme dismay last Tuesday (February 6th) when we found out that we lost the baby. Last Friday, (February 9th) I had a D&C done to remove any products of conception (the baby & placenta). On Tuesday, (February 13th) my husband picked up Angela Christine (what we decided to name the baby) from the hospital. He took her to a local church where she was blessed and then he took her to the Funeral Home where he works. She’ll remain there until she is cremated which should take place within the next couple of days. I know it may seem morbid, but cremating her will give us total and complete closure. So anyway, here I sit feeling lost, saddened, alone and confused. If anyone has any suggestions, advice and/or feedback; I'd love to hear from you! Thanks for taking the time to read my book LOL!

Take care,
Gina

aww sweetheart i am very sorry for your loss. I could never imagine the the pain you are going through but i wish you the best of luck and a speedy recovery. Maybe some therapy to handle such an emotional loss? Family counciling? Never forget that God gave you your other daughter...and perhaps there is many great possiblities for you both in the future. I wish you all the luck in the world for future time. And i apologize at what you have to deal with now. All my love, Inny

My Loss I'm sorry to hear of your loss. Yes, I think you have made good decisions considering the situation. I believe that life begins at conception, so honoring her life, as short as it was, it a good thing.

Gina,

I'm sorry for your loss.

I have been through multiple miscarriages, and feel that I know your pain.

I have heard that going through outward steps to grieve this type of loss is very healthy and helpful.

This was not known at the time I suffered mine.

Please feel free to PM me.

Hugs,

EJ
