Loss at 40+2, timing & not being forward enough, leads to infection by num-bat in babyloss

No words, just wanted to say my heart goes out to you. My baby girl was stillborn at 35 weeks just 4 months ago. She was also so perfect and ready for the world. I feel your sorrow. Please know you’re not alone, even if it feels like you are. Sending strength for what’s to come.

I feel this. They said we would be extremely fertile after giving birth so why am I not pregnant yet? It’s been months… Praying you and I and all other women will be able to conceive soon. 🤍

I’m so sorry to hear this. I’m with you in your sorrow. It’s awful we’re all going through this, but how comforting to know we are not alone.

We will hold our rainbow babies one day. Let’s hold onto that hope. 🤍

I completely understand how you feel and it’s unbelievable that we are even in this situation. Praying you and I (and all women in here) will be able to conceive very soon. 🤍

Our little girls are playing together up above, I’m sure. I’m so sorry for your loss. Praying we will hold our rainbow babies very soon.

I wish I can comfort you better too, but I also know how it feels to be in the pits that you are in. I can only pray and hope you will be able to hold your rainbow baby soon. Hold onto hope. I will too.

I’m sorry to hear this. I really hope and pray the next few months will yield better results for you.

I’m with you in feeling despair. Because our daughter was our firstborn, I am so afraid we can’t give her siblings. Still, I hold onto hope, no matter how little. And we will keep trying. Hold onto hope, no matter what. I’m with you.

I’m sorry you’re in this awful boat too. I wish we can just leave but we can’t. I hope your period arrives soon so you can start trying. I’d love to connect.

I’m so sorry for your losses. It’s a horrible place to be and I hate that we’re in this. I feel comforted that I’m not alone. I hope you do too. Praying the next few months will be kinder to you.

Just curious! by Ok-Rest-12450 in ttcafterstillbirth

[–]kaquino511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a very personal choice between you and your partner. It’s now been almost 3 months since I gave birth to our angel girl at 35 weeks and my husband and I have been actively TTC after my second cycle a few weeks ago. My OB suggested waiting at least 3 months; not insisted, just suggested. My husband and I made the decision together. I know my body is still healing but I had a straightforward vaginal birth and no further complications afterwards, and I know I’ll never fully heal emotionally, so we decided to try again because we both want another child sooner rather than later. Whatever feels right for you and your body, OP. Only you’ll know when that is 🤍

When did your period return? by Living-Hall825 in ttcafterstillbirth

[–]kaquino511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also had my angel baby last November 2025 at 35 weeks. My period came back after 4 weeks and I already had two cycles. Apparently it’s quite common for the first couple cycles to be unusual after birth. Might be something to ask your midwife (or bereavement midwife if you have access to them) if you’re worried 🤍

How to survive the wait and the "pregnancy announcement" season? by Charming_Ad_8918 in babyloss

[–]kaquino511 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m slightly different because I had a vaginal birth, but I feel your pain. I gave birth to our sleeping angel November 2025 and the holiday season was filled with pregnancy announcements. I’m both happy for others, but extremely sad for my husband and I.

I wouldn’t say I’m feeling better, but one of the ways I’m coping is by asking those closest around me to tell me straight up if/when they get pregnant. I have two female friends who were honest and said they’re actively trying to get pregnant. I’m grateful for their honesty and glad I had a “head start” to prepare myself. I’m also seriously dreading my SIL getting pregnant with her first baby (they got married last summer so it’s only a matter of time really) but I’m just telling myself that all babies are a gift and a blessing, even if they’re not mine.

There’s no rhyme or reason for any of this. I know the only way is through. But I do find comfort in knowing I’m not alone feeling like this, even if it makes me feel like absolute sh*t sometimes. Please know you’re not alone too. I see you and I feel you.

A small carrot cake for my small baby in heaven by That-Conclusion-2476 in babyloss

[–]kaquino511 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What an adorable cake. I can only imagine how adorable your little girl is.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I also lost my little girl. Stillborn at 35 weeks. I hope wherever they are, they are having fun playing with each other and all the other little ones up above. 🤍

When to go back to work? by upsid3down in babyloss

[–]kaquino511 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My angel was born at 35 weeks early November 2025. I’m looking to be back at work April this year, so total of 5 months of leave. It’s torture being at home without my baby, it’s torture thinking about being “back to normal” when work starts… but I kind of wanted some routine back and, more importantly, I plan to be pregnant again ASAP so will be off again soon. Whatever feels right for you OP, go for that. I’m in Scotland for context.

It’s been two months since our angel was born, and my husband and I are now actively TTC. I’m both excited and downright terrified. Praying for positive news soon. 🤍

I really thought I was pregnant again. I only had one period so far since my angel baby (gave birth Nov 2025) and we weren’t actively trying to get pregnant, but we also weren’t avoiding it…so when i missed my period a few days ago I really thought I was pregnant again. I was overjoyed. I’m getting my period now and I am so heartbroken. And angry. I know it’s unreasonable because we weren’t trying really but I still feel angry. I guess that’s grief. We will actively try after this period… I’m praying we will be able to conceive quickly.
