Hi all, I've been struggling since reading last night (on the May due date club page) of Debstmomy's loss of her sweet baby. It's hard to feel such feelings of sadness and despair and not know what to do with it.

I woke up around 5am and just massaged my tummy, decided that despite all the aches and pains, the heat, the exhaustion, I needed to be just a little bit more grateful for what I have. I always was grateful but I know I could tend to go the route of "poor me". Poor me what? I'm going to be the mom of this beautiful boy, he's going to teach me so much, this is just a blip in time.

Bless those little ones.

Oh my goodness. Yes I follow May boards also and have been thinking about Debstmomy and darkstar... but I didn't see this weekend yet and Debstmomy's baby was moving quite aggressively two days ago.

I just can't imagine how devastated they are... nobody can unless they too have lost a precious child at term. My cousin lost her child (her 1st also) last December, two weeks before the DD. The saddest thing is that everybody treated her like she miscarried. Not that m/c isn't traumatic enough itself...

I posted my support there... I hope you all do also.

I've been doing good just to follow this board, but I'm sticking my head in over there to post my condolences. I live in constant fear of that myself, and just the mere thought saddens me..

No, I think that the OP meant that they were the last two waiting.

Oh phew! I was gonna say - this is just toooooooo much. ANY is too many but it seems like we've had so many sad losses lately.

Thanks for the clarification!

I haven't been reading that board but will pop over and offer my condolences.

A dear friend lost her baby at term in April due to uterine and placenta abruption. We had the baby's memorial a few weeks ago and it was just so hard to see her in so much pain. I can't imagine it, and honestly hope to not have to ever go through that. But it reminds us all of the miracle of birth and how lucky we are to have what we have.
