Guest Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 I've thought a long time before posting this, and I'm still not sure if I should, but sadly, on Wednesday at my first scan, we discovered that the baby had stopped growing at 5 weeks, and so am no longer pregnant. Despite the fact that I have spent the last couple of months with my head down the loo, things had probably stopped developing before I had even found out I was pregnant, but due to very high levels of the pregnancy hormones, my body maintained the pregnancy for quite a long time before we discovered anything was wrong. Sorry for the depressing news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard and Jo Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Above reply from Richard - he's not very good at things like this. Just want to say myself that your news is very sad to hear; of course everyone knows things like this can happen, but if it does, it can't make it any easier. Just remember people are thinking of you and you've got plenty of shoulders on the forum. Jox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Shona, I am so sorry. The same thing happened to me about 4 years ago, & although the baby was not planned, it was still a horrible shock & I was devestated. 2 thing helped - My friedns who were a huge suppert & the fact that I believe in fate. That baby was just not meant to be, & thinking that made it easier for me to cope with. You may not feel the same, but I hope that you find a way of dealing with your loss. Are you going in for an ERPC or something similar soon. I hope that they don't keep you waiting for it too long. Sarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to think of anything meaningful to say at the moment, except that we're all here for you. Great big cyber hugs to you and Chookiehubbie, and all the little chookies too of course.

Guest Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Shona, I'm so sorry. It seems to have happened to so many of us, but I don't know if that helps much! I do understand the emptiness you're left with - getting over the shock of expecting a 4th child, then getting excited and planning the future only to find it's not going to happen after all. There's such a lot for you to deal with. I can only say again how sorry I am and please take care of yourself - don't push yourself too hard or expect too much.

Guest Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Many thanks for all your support - it's been a rough couple of months up here, and you have all provided a great deal of support which is much appreciated. I feel a bit better today - I think I am coming to terms with everything, and I am in the lucky position of already having 3 beautiful children and a supportive husband and family. Although it hadn't been planned, we had really started to look forward to another baby, so have been discussing whether we should try for another one, or just leave our family as is. Hopefully life is on the up now, and surely a large win on the lottery is on the cards after all our bad luck?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Definitely a million or three, Shona - but don't forget all your friends on the forum if you do ! Take care - the hugs are still coming your way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
