Parents of lost babies and potential of all kinds: come here to share the technicolour, the vividness, the despair, the heart-broken-open, the compassion we learn for others, having been through this mess — and see it reflected back at you, acknowledged and understood.

I honestly don’t know how to feel. Right now it’s all facts. I need to have an ultrasound and meet with the anesthesiologist before the d&c and these are the antibiotics I need to take after. I think I do this to keep myself from feeling sad. If I can make it less of a person i’ll Be ok right? If I don’t think of it as my baby died.
But I’m emotional and crying at the drop of a hat and my body is still acting like it’s a normal pregnancy so every day I’m dealing with morning sickness and knowing my baby is dead.
Has anyone been in a similar situation before? What do I need to know? Babyloss mamas, what helps?
