Myheaven I'm very sorry for your loss and will be praying for your family. Just listen to your husband when he talks about the baby and be supportive of each other. That's really all you can do.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your baby. I'll pray for your family.

I also lost a baby and hemorrhaged very badly. I know what you are going through. Take good care of yourself.

Sorry for the rough medical and especially sorry for the loss of your baby boy. I think a tree to grow where he is laid to rest will be a fine reminder of him.

Bless your heart, it sounds at tho you and your husband have had a trying time in the effort to have children. I wish I knew how to help your husband, but even tho you're sad, you seem to be grieving in such a healthy way that maybe he will be able to draw from you.

Rest up, feel better, hugs.

I don't know how to say how sorry I am for your loss.

Give yourselves plenty of time to grieve. I was depressed for a whole year after my last miscarriage, and I was not as far along as you were.

Life will eventually be normal again, but it won't be soon.

I think the baby DID hear him. Baby's hearing in the womb is better than we realize. My kids are in their 20's now, but there are things that I remember very clearly from my pregnancies. I remember that from about 5 months along, the baby in my belly would awake with a start when the alarm went off in the morning.

And my hubby also talked and sang to them while I was pregnant. He did it often, and rubbed my belly. He was there for the births, and when he spoke in the delivery room, the new baby would be straining to hear their Daddy's voice. It was already familiar to them.

So I believe your baby boy knew his Daddy's voice, and he knew your voice. He knew he was loved.

I am so very sorry for your loss! I am keeping your whole family in my prayers!

I'm so sorry for your loss. Give yourself lots of time for the grief to heal...Last year I lost 3 babies and hemorrhaged with them too. It takes at least 6 weeks to get the blood supply back up again, it does feel so slow and sad as you recover but one day you will begin to feel better. Don't rush it and be free to find people to talk with...prayers for you and your hubby.

Suitcase Sally, I promise I'm not on the computer, I'm on my iPhone in bed. Laying down, I'm on strict bed rest. I get to go to the bathroom but that's it.
Thank you for trashing any insensitive comments. I don't think I cod handle them at this second. My mind is still grasping the events of the last 36 hours.

(((hugs)))) I am so sorry you and your family has had to go through this. Your DH probably, on top of everything else, feels he should have protected you and the baby, and he failed. This is a guy thing. Maybe letting him know that the lifestyle the two of you enjoy contributed to saving your life. Maybe telling him again that you couldn't have pulled through without him. He needs something to grasp on to.

My prayers are with you.

Myheaven, I am very sorry for your loss. I too, had a similar experience and ended up in the hospital with significant blood loss.

Give yourself the time you need to take... I would guess that right now you're still in shock over the events, they happened so quickly.

I am glad that your healthy diet helped you get through the medical emergency.

I hope you find peace knowing that your son is cradled in the arms of the Lord... if you can't hold him yourself... there is no better place to be than surrounded by our God.
