Preeclampsia

JamieKraus - 01:22pm Jun 4, 2009 EST

We recently lost our first baby due to preeclampsia. His name is Jake, and he was 23 weeks old. He was strong for 9 days. If anyone has any advice, or words of wisdom please let me know. I'm having a hard time coping. Thank you.

Jamie

Hello and welcome to Share. I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet little boy Jake. No parent should have to face the journey that so many of us are walking. I am sorry that you now are a part of the "club" with the high price admission, but I am happy that you found your way here.

I have found blogging to be a very useful tool. I tried group therapy, one on one therapy, and neither one did it for me. However, writing my inner most feeling, writing about all my pain, fear, anger, and confusion has been very theraputic. For me it something very healing about letting the entire world read about my journey. The best thing is you will never need to justify, apologize, or defend your feelings.

Please take it one day at a time, breath through the moments and know that baby steps are okay!

Take care,
Yolonda

I too lost my son, but my son had what they call Open skull bith, and he only lived for 4 days
and for me I'm just staring to get better, and like Yolonda said, blogging is great, b/c I'm able to get my feeling out and cry while doing it, but I feel better once I'm done. So I haope that you able to have peace here, I know that I have and I have made some wonderful friends as well.

It has been a while since i've been on here. Thankyou so much for everyones words. Its been hard, and i miss him everyday..but My husband and I are very strong and help eachother. We were married in September of 07', two weeks before our wedding My husband lost his dad from a drunk driver. Then when we lost Jake to preeclampsia we just lost it. It just feels like we keep getting pushed down, the moment we start to stand up. All my love and prayers goes out to everyone that has gone threw such horrible circumstances. We need to find a cure!
