I just found your blog through Mommypotamus&...Wow. I just found your blog through Mommypotamus' fabulous list of birth stories (yours was amazing, by the way), but this post really hit home. I had an ectopic pregnancy in 2009. I never had my first midwife appt, never saw my baby on an ultrasound, but had time to celebrate my pregnancy with my husband and my immediate family. Walking into the ER, knowing I was losing my baby, was one of the hardest things I've ever done. My right fallopian tube was removed that day. We mourned quietly, but I healed through talking about my experience with other women who had miscarried and realizing I wasn't alone. Opening up was healing for me. <br />361 days later, I birthed a beautiful baby girl. I appreciated every day of morning sickness, every kick, and every hiccup until she was born, so scared and yet so thankful. <br />Be well :)MamaEmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16479514627357122709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7226133277966122284.post-53742449814464113342010-10-15T12:56:12.648-05:002010-10-15T12:56:12.648-05:00Somehow I've stumbled across your blog again, ...Somehow I've stumbled across your blog again, and it hit me deeply. <br /><br />I've lost a dear sweet baby, and yes it was much later in my pregnancy, BUT it does not matter how long you carry your child (or whether you have the "positive" sign or not), that child was yours, and IS yours. <br /><br />I still grieve over my dear sweet baby every time I reach the date that I lost him, and every time I pass my due date. <br /><br />I hope you give yourself permission to grieve, no one will think less of you, and if they do, then they are ignorant. blessings to you.Kathryn Nordykehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13220342755382790619noreply@blogger.com
