Kirb:
Welcome to mamapedia!
I'm sorry you are going through this. I can tell you from losing 3 babies...the worst was losing at 22 weeks.
People can relate. It's really hard to hear their stories right now. Please know you are not alone. It does get better. the hardest dates will be the day you lost your baby and the due date.
One day at a time. There are support groups for you.
You will not forget your baby. But over time, you will find it doesn't occupy every moment of your life. If it is consuming every moment of your life? You need to seek professional help. This happened seven months ago and while everyone grieves differently, at seven month it should not be consuming every aspect of your life.
I cannot begin to tell you how hard it was for me to get over my losses. The first one was 9/7/01...and on 9/10/01, I had a DNC. I was 13 weeks. I found out I was pregnant again Thanksgiving weekend 2001. I had my second son in July 2002 - he was pre-mature by 4 weeks - stopped breathing - flat lined in my arms - I was a mess. He is now 11 years old. I got pregnant in late 2003 (October) and lost that baby on February 27, 2004. I got pregnant again in July and lost that baby in September. Two losses in one year. It was debilitating. Down right debilitating. now, here I am 9 years later...still living...still breathing...still loving...
YOU CAN DO THIS... it's not easy...i told you my story so you can see - people live through this. It changes you. But you DO live through it.
{{{{HUGS}}}} to you!
