I missed out. Late late late post.

Hello ladies.

Christmas is a hard time. I conceived my girl last Christmas. I was also close to death last Christmas. I lost my girl on March 25th of this year. And what day is the 25th? Christmas. Anyone else having a difficult time? I will try to remember how tags work, please forgive me if they do not format properly.

you are not alone in your pain or your struggle I promise. I also promise that we are here for you. I lost my child in November and should have been finding out the sex of our child in jan-feb. and not a moment goes by or a light twinkle or ornament shine that I don't think of my child and think of all the things they wont experience. but always remind yourself that though they may not be experiencing it through their eyes they are seeing all those things through your eyes and your heart and you will feel them so much through this season and its perfectly ok to not be ok. its perfectly fine to cry and be sad you have that right as a momma to a beautiful angel... have u considered getting your child an ornament it may help you during this time of the year to look at your tree and see a representation of your child this Christmas. if you need anything I am here for you and you are not alone and you are strong! Merry Christmas hun and always remember to hold your head up high and that your child is beautiful, safe, and perfect with

I miscarried in April. had I not, the baby would be born some time this week (I was planning to have a scheduled c-section).
October 15 is International Miscarriage Awareness Day, if you are interested. I made a bracelet with pink and blue beads and baby feet charm (I do not know the gender).
this year, I hate holidays. I want them to be over already.

there is this website making all sorts of keepsakes for those who lost their babies - http://www.rememberingourbabies.net/store/Default.asp I ordered a pin and a dual-color bracelet from them and made a little video in memory of the one I lost. somehow, doing those things and performing little rituals makes it easier for me.

hang in there. it's infuriating to think you are in this alone. you are not.

there is a Buddhist temple in Tokyo where women come to mourn their babies. I want to go to Tokyo.

I'm so sorry for your loss:( This is a hard time of year for sure.

Sorry you are going through this. I just had a chemical about 10 days ago, and my SIL is pregnant, as well as my BIL's wife, they're both close together in their pregnancies. It was hard seeing them when we went to do one of the Christmas gatherings this past Sunday. No one knew I was pregnant either, I was 4w and 5d when the real bleeding started - I'd been spotting for days already... anyway, sorry, I'm rambling. Just sharing my experience to add another "you're not alone" comment to your post.

I'm so sorry. Yes, I can relate. I also conceived a baby (most likely a girl, not 100% confirmed) last December, found out I was pregnant two days after Christmas... It was a joyful time, but I lost my little one in March... I also had another second trimester miscarriage shortly after Christmas 2013... It is an emotional time for me too. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Please feel free to pm me if you want to talk.
