    Hello.
    First time I wrote here a year ago, in april. My first miscarriage. Hidiuos experience. On begginig of this month I realised I was pregnant again. I told DH, he said was happy but "let's not go to excited". Well, well, was so right. In Wednesday I noticed spotting. In Friday had heavy bleeding (not as heavy as first time , though, but then I was 11 weeks gon, now 8). Been told "sorry,you miscarried". For second time. Three times lucky? I had two lagers. Had a scan, clear. I'm 34 and my biological clock is clicking. DH is disspointed, I know he is although he says don't be silly. Oh well. Just life.

    Oh sweetness I have been watching out for you ... I am so sad to hear your little one left you.

    Please feel free to share or offload or just have a rant if it helps.

    It will get easier with time.. be gentle to yourself and The 2 of you look after one another.. Go with the flow of whatever emotion you have.

    big big big hugs! xxxx

    thanks pigpen - to be honest it happened as well as it was ever going to
    We had been having fortnightly scans to check for heartbear and was at the hosp on tues where i had a scan
    When i got home i noticed in my notes that my urine had protein in it - so i made a docs appt for wed afternoon and when i went there they checked my blood pressure which was through the roof. I was sent up to the hospital and kept in for observation on wed night. On thursday morning the consultant said i was showing signs of Hellp syndrome and he felt that i needed to be delivered as i was at serious risk - Baby was still with us at this stage. I was induced and monitiored all day on thursday and at 7 when a scan was done there was no heartbeat present. I am so pleased that we are able to know exactly when our little one passed away as otherwise it would have been another 2 weeks before i would have been scanned again. i am so lucky that the midwife i had was fantastic. when she went of duty on thurs night she rang up 2 or 3 times through the night to see how i was and fought for me to stay in the delivery suite until i was allowed home as she didnt want me returning to the maternity ward. She certainly made a very difficult time as easy as it could have been. Part of me is glad that the waiting for the day to come is over and im obviously thankful that i didnt just wait for my next hospital appt as i might not be here now myself i just wish i was able to cuddle my little girl every day x

    It does sound like things happened in the best way for these things to happen and you did get to cuddle your little one and spend some time with her. I am sure you have some very precious memories that are your forever to keep. While I am pleased the waiting and not knowing is over for you I cannot begin to imagine the sadness.

    You have been in my thoughts often the last few weeks.. and will continue to be. There have been so many lost little ones so late on the last few months it is heartbreaking.

    much love to you all xx
