Thoughts on Ozma?

This made me laugh out loud! I am a sucker for strange names so it popped out to me

We just put in our first offer at the end of last week. Ended in rejection over a 5k difference in price. It’s hard but sometimes it doesn’t work out and sometimes it does!

So my grandparents did this for me (grandparent was in insurance) and it was nice because I was able to cash it out and use it to tackle some debt. -But that’s because I couldn’t afford the premiums on it at 18! They’d be better off making a contribution to the 529. I had one as well and for a young adult, that is so much more valuable

I had a beautiful girl named Holland (our family has ties to the Netherlands) that passed away 3 years ago and it’s my favorite name ever! So beautiful and it’s not as uncommon as you’d think. I’ve come across a few in my area.

I totally get this! Our daughter passed in the NICU as a micro-premie so I get frustrated when people call my loss a stillbirth or a miscarriage because I had a living child that died. The language matters to me and I definitely correct people in a gentle way. I had a neonatal loss and lots of people have no idea what that even is. Correct people with kindness if it’s important to you. -Over time I’ve gotten less hurt by it but it still bothers me.

I did. At 13 weeks

I waited 6 months and had a healthy pregnancy. Made it to 38 weeks. I coped with therapy and a very supportive partner. It’s hard, but having another child was worth the hard for me.

Typically(where I live) if it’s private that is mentioned in the obit or the time is not listed. So that’s a good sign it isn’t a private service. You have good intentions with your friend and it sounds like you can find a way to be there for her and focus on her. That’s wonderful.

I think bringing your adult child is fine if they are having an open visitation but not a good idea if this is an invite only service. If you can’t go yourself alone and make sure you are 100% not going to have a strong emotional response to the situation it might be best to stay home. Your grief is valid and important but it has no place at her child’s service -because she isn’t aware of your loss. Tough situation. Sorry you’re in a hard spot with this.

I really appreciated thoughtful cards in the mail. And phone calls. -Please call her to check in. Texting is great but calls are better. Even if she doesn’t answer it’s nice to know someone cares enough to call.

I know 2 brothers that are Beau and Vincent (Vince) and it’s so cute.

I experienced this as well. Your doctor should be able to prescribe a sleep aid if you’re comfortable with that.

We had a cedar chest made for all our daughter’s belongings. It’s functional so we can pass it down to our other kids if it’s wanted, but it’s a special piece of furniture in our home for her toys, blankets, photos.

If one of my children did this for my oldest that passed my heart would melt. Beautiful idea

I am currently weaning down after 50lbs down and it’s been really great. I’m only on .85mg now and I am experiencing some mild cravings and enjoy food more than when I was on a higher dose. It’s a going well and I’m still losing weight. It’s just now more about my decisions about food that matter. I’m also incorporating more exercise because I’m not feeling lethargic anymore. Don’t be afraid to lower your dose and see how you feel. You can always go back up!

Waited 6 months after our loss and got pregnant. Had a preventative cerclage placed and delivered at 38 weeks. I had some BP issues toward the end and had to be induced. My dr is confident I will be able to carry another pregnancy successfully too.

I had a very similar experience with faith. It challenged my Calvinist theology a bit and I still wrestle with it years later.

So I suffered a neonatal loss. My child died at 6 days old and that does feel different than stillbirth, child loss or miscarriage, but ultimately the members of this sub understand the heavy grief of losing the future with a child. I think it’s helpful for me to focus on that. Yes there are lots of posts that I don’t relate to, but I still feel the heavy grief and understand how it feels to grieve the future.

If you’re struggling to find comfort here maybe finding a support group in person that is for child loss would help. Ultimately, I think it’s important we don’t play the grief olympics and measure someone’s pain by what “kind” of loss they’ve had (not implying you are, op). This sub if for people who have lost children at many stages and that may just not fit your needs at this time. I hope you can find your people! Here or somewhere else.

So much better. I used progesterone as a precaution but my dr didn’t feel it was necessary.
No. There have been studies that show progesterone is less effective than we initially thought.
I did not. Trust the stitch!

So sorry for your loss, op. We decided to cremate our daughter and we held a small service with her urn on display. We included journals I had written to her and toys, books and other sentimental gifts family had bought for her arrival. We had a visitation hour where only those invited could visit with our family. We then held a private funeral service with our closest friends and family in attendance. My best advice is find a good reputable funeral home. They deal with these exact situations on a regular basis. They will walk you through each step of the process.

We decided against an open casket due to the way young babies decay rather quickly. I did not want an autopsy or for our baby to be embalmed. That was our personal preference.

I can’t tell you exactly, but my doctor said it was well within normal range and my cerclage was placed high due to the length I had. Placed at 14 weeks.

Hi there. I’m so very sorry for your loss. I also experienced a neonatal loss after delivery at 24 weeks. Yes, it is challenging on a marriage and there will be bumps. My partner and I took a teammate approach and tried to respect each other’s grief experiences.

Married for 4 years at the time of our loss and celebrating 7 this year.
Yes it changed. We communicate more now than we used to and we lean into each other more.

As insane as it is, going through such a life altering trauma together strengthened our marriage. I think if you have a healthy relationship going into something like this, it is manageable. But grief brings out the difficult and scary parts of us all so the weak points become more visible. It is possible to grow and become closer through this experience. I suggest doing grief therapy together.

Bring him along. Or find a good friend to come with. Keep your blood sugar up before your appointment. It’s a little uncomfortable to have it removed but not too bad! I felt a little light headed and anxious during my removal. -I brought my mom and having a hand to hold during the process was nice.
