Hi all, I lost our baby girl Jessica Louise Grace at 26 weeks, i didnt feel her move for about 12 hours and was worried so went to the hospital to get checked out,that was on the friday they couldnt find a heart beat and i had a scan to confirm. they let me go home after giving me the tablets to prepare my cervix and i was told that i had to come back on the sunday to be induced. it gave my partner and i time to come to terms with what was going to happen. i went back on the sunday and she was born at 4.24pm after only around 3 hours of labor. it was the hardest thing i have ever been through. i got to dress and hold my little girl, and we spent time with her and had her blessed. i already have two children a 3 1/2 year old girl and a 2 year old boy they are my world. i dont know what i would do without them and my fantastic family.

i just want to know everyones experiences and any help or advice they can give me. i have organised her funeral and its this wednesday and she will be buried. i along with my partner have chosen everything, even down to the music and her burial plot. i just dont know where to go from there really.
i want more children but i just dont know if my partner feels the same. i need and want to have another baby and dont think i can wait for years. Please if anyone can help me in what they did i would be greatful. everyone says im doing well and being strong and carrying on with things but i just feel like i want to close the world out and scream!

thanks and sorry for the long post. xxxxx

My heart feels for all of you..I myself have been in the place...It's taken me 2 years to talk..I was almost 7 mons we lost out baby boy..I've pretty much sheltered myself I really havn't gone anywhere or done anything always afraid of people asking me about it.. I'm scared that I'm gonna be like this forever..

I'm so sorry for your loss. I also lost my twins at 26 and half weeks of pregnancy. I was expecting a girl and a boy. I woke up with a slight pain which quickly got worse by the minute. My husband rushed me to the hospital, where I was told my obgyn was at another hospital and will be back soon. I don't remember what happened afterward, I just remember the gynae telling my husband that he can't find their heart beats and told me I had to be rushed to the OR. I had placental abruption. I woke up a week later in ICU, 3 operations later, memory loss, only to be told that, not only had I lost both my twins, I lost my uterus too. This happened on 28 August 2011 but it honestly feels like yesterday. I had to have physiotherapy to learn how to walk. It took me 5 months to sort of get back to my normal routine. I have scars all over my body that make it difficult for to forget what I had been through. Counseling has helped me a lot. I want you to know you are not alone and don't give up on having a baby. My two elder daughters are what make me get up in the morning and continue to live. All the best to you..... Faith
