Loosing my baby

jasmine21 - 04:38am Jun 11, 2011 EST

I was expecting my second child... when at my 15 weeks of pregnancy found out by an ultrasound my baby wasn't alive anymore, my baby's heart wasn't beating and he/she wasn't moving any more so I had a D&C done.. Although a month past already my heart and my soul are still in pain...My sister is pregnant, i was only 2 weeks ahead of her in the pregnancy...and i dont know how to overcome this situation, seeing her pregnant makes me happy for her and her baby but at the same time sad!

First, let me say how sorry I am that you are going through this. It's just not fair. And having a sister that's pregnant is certainly making it more difficult.

I'm really glad you found Share and I hope that you find support you need here. Many of our members have walked in your shoes and you should know this is a safe place to share your feelings and not be judged about it. There is a discussion on Share for parents who have dealt with loss. Maybe you would feel comfortable there and know that you are not alone. Here is a link:

Living with a loss? discussion

Hugs,

Welcome to Share. I am so very sorry for your loss. I can relate a little to how you are feeling. My sister and I were pregnant at the same time in 2009. I must have been around 26 weeks when she told me and she was about 7 or 8 weeks along. I lost my son at 30 weeks (no heartbeat and severe pre-E) and well, she and I haven't spoken since. We had words with each other and unfortunately, the relationship hasn't been repaired. You are most likely closer with your sister. Hopefully, she'll be sensitive to your feelings and allow you the opportunity to heal with the arrival of her little one. It's so hard. I wish you peace and strength in the weeks ahead.

It's so difficult to be near someone who has what you so desperately wanted and lost. I had two friends who were due right at the same time I was. I lost my twin boys at 21 weeks. They each have a healthy baby. One friendship remains in tact, the other is definitely at a distance. I think because one had a girl and the other a boy. I know it's worse to have the person be your sister. I hope that she can give you the space you need to grieve and be sensitive to the pain that she can't help but cause you. I feel sure that you will love your little niece or nephew despite the pain, but I know you will always be reminded of your little one, too. The deep wound of loss is going to affect everything. Share is here if you need to vent. We definitely understand.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. The pain by itself is unimaginable, but then having someone so close to you being pregnant and due around the same time... my heart breaks for you.

You aren't alone in your grief and whatever feelings might accompany it. I'm glad you found Share.

I am so sorry for you loss. I too lost mine. I was 17 weeks when I gave birth to my twin boys. I can totally relate to you. Just seeing certain things or seeing others pregnant make me sad inside. There's always so many unanswered questions also. Just hang in there and know when the time is right for you it will happen. Time will heal you. Some days are a little easier than others but then there are those random break downs. I understand your pain and I pray for you. Just stay strong and hang in there.

Im so sorry for you loss it very hard I lost my son at 3 1/2 wks old. This was a year ago and I still miss him more than anything my sister in law was pregnant and kept it a secret because we knew my entire pregnancy Gabriel was sick. She called my the morning after the funeral to say she was pregnant and due in 2months so at least her baby could fill our void. This was not easy he couldnt be replaced and neither can your baby so dont feel pushed into being there go when your comfortable and its ok to hurt. Sometimes other people exspecially after another baby is born act as though they forgot your loss but you will always carry that precious baby in your heart. So be selfish take all the time you need to heal.

I kind of know how you feel. I had a little boy in April and he passed away in May. Shortly after he passed away my best friend gave birth to a beautiful little girl. I tried so hard to go and see them in the hospital, i was able to stay for a few and hold her, but it hurt so much.I cant tell you that it gets easier because I honestly dont know if it does. Talk about it can help. You need to not feel bad for being sad. You have suffered a terrible loss. Your heart and soul will be in pain for a long time. I still hurt daily and it hasnt gotten any easier. Like the post before mine says, Be selfish right now and take all the time you need to grieve for your baby. Your sister will understand. my heart goes out to you.

Welcome to Share. I am so sorry for your loss. No parent should have to experience the loss of a child, but unfortunately too many of us do. Be gentle with yourself and take your time to grieve. My sister was pregnant a year after my daughter passed away, and the news was hard for me to deal with even a year later. The pain and hurt of losing a child never goes away, but it will become easier to deal with over time. Thinking of you.

Welcome to share and I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my son at 30 wks so I know the pain very well. I felt the same things, there was a girl at work who I was close too and pregnant. I really didn't want to be around her or see her baby. It took a long time before I was ready. Don't rush yourself into doing anything, do it when you feel ready. I hope you continue to blog and find support here at share
Hugs,
Brooke

    Hello and welcome to Share Marissa. I'm so sorry for the loss of Jasirah. Her first birthday just recently passed by, how are you doing? I hope that it was a peaceful day for you, it's so hard celebrating these days that should have been joyful without our little ones here and in our arms. Hugs!
