Sending love to you right now, Cora – I lost a baby at 29 weeks. Let us hope that this ultrasound gives you relief, I know you have spent a miserable time waiting. If your news is the worst, you might find help where I did, through a group called Resolve Through Sharing. They were a lifeline for me. They might have a program at your hospital with counseling for families who have experienced miscarrige, stillbirth, and newborn death. The group usually holds meetings, and if you can get one of their books you will find it a wonderful resource to cling to during this horrible time. You might find on on amazon if there is no group in your area.
I am sure your baby is already as real to your children as he is to you and your husband – they will grieve if you have miscarried. My children still want to talk about the loss of their brother, even though it happened before they were born. Just tonight, when he was having his bath, my six year old son was talking about him, just wanting the same story for the millionth time. They love him; he is real to them. In this situation, let your common grief remind you of your common love.
I hope all this talk is for nothing – I hope joy for you tomorrow. Sending you a long long hug and I wish we could cry on each other’s shoulder tonight – and tomorrow I am hoping for celebration.
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
