Thanks Girls. You're great.

I just cant understand it. I know everything happens for a reason etc but its so cruel to think she was excited and had no reason to believe she would go today and get such terrible news. I cant ask her anything for obvious reasons. Thats probably not a bad thing or I'd be reading in to everything from now on. I think its just particularly hard to hear that the baby died at about 9 weeks. You know, when I was pregnant with Emily I breezed through it, never really worried that it might not happen. I guess as I was 19 then and I'm 33 now I have a different outlook on life - less carefree and much more realistic. I dont remember stressing about only getting one scan at 16 weeks and I certainly didnt think that when I did get scanned that there would be anything else to report other than a healthy baby wriggling about.
I'm on my own this weekend - hubby is in Paris on a school trip. Like I need to be on my own 'stewing' right now. Then again I should just snap out of it and remember how my friend must be feeling. Thank God I have you lot to keep me busy.

Aww, honey, I am so sorry about your friend, and also about your anxiety.


Although I feel good, I feel anxious too. One of my OH's exes carried until 40 weeks and when she went in to deliver, something had happened to the baby a week prior. I get this god awful anxiety and sadness when I think about it.

When I hear about miscarriages at a later week in pregnancy, it scares the crap out of me too.

I don't know why it happens and I can only imagine what your friend must be going through right now. It's terribly sad

I'm so sorry to hear this news,
I do agree with you though- I feel worried now! When I was in the EPU last week they said- once you see a heartbeat at 8 weeks you have a 96% chance it will progress to a normal healthy pregnancy.
I have been trying to reassure myself with these rates, but this post confirms my fears.
God I really wish I wasn't going on Holiday next week.
Anyway- enough about me-
My thoughts are with you and your friend.

I am so srrry to hear about your friends loss. You are doing all you can by just being there for her. I can imagine how you are feeling, but I know you will get through this and you will continue to be a great friend to her!

Unfortunately there really is no reason, nothing to point to, to say why this happens to some people.

Oh I'm so sorry to hear this Lisa. That's such sad news. All you can do is be there and give her lots of support when she's ready. Sorry you're going to be on your own all weekend too honey. You don't need that right now.

I don't know what we can do to reassure ourselves. Would another pg test tell us everything's OK?

I too worry from a day to day basis that something is wrong with babe. I stopped bein sick 4 2 days and thought why but was really reasured when i was hanging my head over the loo all morning! Being pregnant is as scary as it is exciting but just try not to worry.
As 4 being on ur own, u have us!!
Keep strong!! x
