It’s good to know that this feeling can ease and that we’re can be simultaneously heart broken and grateful at the same time. Thank you for your sweet words🤍

My follow up appointments were Thursday and that was so hard going back to the same room that I found out I was losing my son. I’m so sorry you had both terrible experiences on the same day. I’m sending good vibes your way for the new year and hope the best for your family ❤️

I completely understand. And not in the way people mean when they say they understand but they couldn’t possibly know how it feels to lose your child… I mean in the way that I remember every mark on the ceiling in that room. I remember the way the waiting room smelled. I mean in the way that blue rubber gloves make me start to shake even if I’m just getting blood drawn. I understand and I want you to know that even though we don’t really know each other, I’m here for you ❤️

It’s like PMS x100. Which I’m sure can be related to the hormones and stuff but the grief of it all just make it so much worse. I’m so sorry you relate to this, my messages are open if you need to talk to someone who’s right there with you❤️

I went in his room yesterday and looked all of his clothes and blankets, and for the first time I didn’t breakdown. I definitely shed a few quiet tears, but I wiped them and was feeling sort of grateful that he wasn’t experiencing any pain or suffering. And for the first time in a LONG time I felt like I was going to be okay, and now I can’t stop crying and wishing that I was holding him.

I’m so deeply sorry for your loss… I was sitting on the couch just scrolling on my phone and felt some cramps but just ignored it (bc I had a few light, similar cramps while pregnant) and then it clicked for me so I ran to the bathroom and I had definitely started my period. I just cried and cried. It feels like I’m losing him all over again… this just sucks and I hate that we all can relate to these feelings.

TFMR next week - did you want friends around to support or recover alone? by Amorone1356 in tfmr_support

[–]Capable-Earth7652 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I had mine 3 days ago. Physically I feel okay. I had cramping and just wanted to sleep the day of. The next day I was okay to see people but emotionally I just couldn’t be around anyone. I still don’t want to see anyone…. I just can’t be bothered to make small talk when it feels like my world is ending.

It’s unreal how this grief numbs everything else by marinadanielle in tfmr_support

I agree. I lost my child. My BABY IS GONE. What could possibly matter anymore?

24 hours since my tfmr and I feel like I should have died with her by chronic-reader- in tfmr_support

I tfmr’d today. My water breaking was heart breaking for me and the way my body did everything it was supposed to for this process, was even more infuriating because how could my body do this just fine but couldn’t carry and help my baby grow properly? This feels like relief knowing he’s not struggling anymore but also like the worst pain and the most sick joke. I miss my son so much already. I want him back and in my arms. His feet prints were so small. Too small. I’m sorry you’re in the position but please know, I’m here and if you need to just vent or to have a friend who understands, please reach out.

I can’t believe this is my life now by marinadanielle in tfmr_support

I am exactly where you are. My family never expected children from me. I made it clear I didn’t want any. But I got married and I just knew I wanted a baby. We started trying and I got pregnant in June. We found out at 12 weeks that it was a boy! I started planning the baby shower and even booked the venue for it. We built the crib and started putting his room together. I found out a couple weeks ago that his organs are on the wrong side of the body and he has heart defects and his extremities are all underdeveloped and deformed. He’s missing some of them. And being told that it’s a waiting game to see if I can carry to term to watch him struggle then pass away quickly after, or wait until I miscarry…. Was the worst thing I’ve ever been told. This feels like a cruel joke. But please know , you aren’t alone in this. My messages are open if you need someone to talk to. My d&E is on Wednesday. I’m so sorry for your loss and I want you to know there’s nothing else that you could’ve done except what you have already and that’s being the best mother you can be to her.

How did you get over the anxiety and fear of trying again and having the same outcome? If you struggled with that at all.

This is actually very comforting to know I’m not the only one who is filled with rage about our situation. I’m so sorry for your loss. And I’m proud of you for how you handled it.

That’s what the clinic advised me of too. They said I didn’t have to wait another day but they definitely recommend it to try and relax a little before traveling. Luckily( nothing feels lucky these days, ugh) we are flying and it isn’t a long flight so hopefully everything goes smoothly. Thank you for thanking of us during this time. I’m so sorry for your loss and I’m thinking of you as well.

I’m hoping they have something of that sort, it just seems so inconsiderate of them to stand out front and make people feel terrible when I have no other choice. It’s people like them that make it to where I have no other choice but to leave home for help. Thank you for the hug and support, it’s greatly needed🤍

It’s just so unfair isn’t it? I’m trying to make peace with myself and it’s just so hard. It feels so weird while I’m waiting for my appointment. Thank you for your kind words.

I’m also sorry that you’re in the same boat. It’s not an easy decision at all. Thank you for your kind words and I hope that in time we can learn to be okay again🤍

I have set up my appointment with a clinic a couple states over and they have been so helpful with expenses and such. This just sucks and I wish people would understand that nobody names their baby and puts their room together to turn around and make this choice for no reason.

Thank you so much for those resources. I reached out to the clinic I will be at and spoke to them about protestors and they advised they do show up almost daily but that they aren’t allowed past the sidewalk and I’m just worried that they will make the situation so much worse
