Just wanted to send some virtual hugs xxx

He sounds like such a cutie:)

As you've already seen there is so much support for you here, on the internet and I'm sure in real life too. And I'm sure by starting this thread you're also helping others as well.

Slightly against the rules, but this forum http://www.babyandbump.com/stillbirths-neonatal-loss-sids/ is very active with other ladies who have went through the same thing. They are all very nice over there and it's a good place to talk. Some do have pictures of their Angels so if this would upset you, then avoid reading the threads for now.

I'm so sorry for your loss Felix is a lovely name

On a practical level, you are entitled to full maternity and paternity pay and leave so make sure you claim it. It won't take away any of your pain but at least money/work is one less thing to worry about at this sad time

Thank you to everyone for your kind words. I can't say much more than that other than the time you have taken to reply is truly appreciated.

Mrcow - Your comment about slamming the door in a vicars face made me smile today. So thank you.

Thank you all again.

(((hugs))) to you both

my heart goes out to you both.

my friend lost her son the same way. it was so hard, he was called Noah.

for her next pregnancy she was looked after fantastically well. And told that if she ever needed the extra scan to check that there would be no problem in having one. Her little boy Orhan was born 2 years ago and is lovely. None of us will ever forget Noah, and the happiness we all enjoyed before he died.

Talk as much as you wnat on here but do check out all the links you have been given, they will be great help to you all.


(((hugs))) again

I have no idea what to write and can not even begin to imagine how you and Felix's daddy feels right now. Friends and family will want to support you and be there for you.. just make sure its on your terms and when you are ready.
Do what ever your body / mind is telling you to do... sleep, rest and eat will help. See your GP if you need anything to assist.. there is no shame in asking for extra help if you need it.

I wish you all the best and pray for peace for you all in time. x

I'm sat here with tears streaming down my face feeling so desperately sad for you,your partner and extended families.

Felix Samuel is a beautiful name and sounds so right for your dark curly haired little boy.


My thoughts are with you all.


RIP Felix x
