We were really lucky when I was pregnant with D. I bled a lot and was told a miscarriage was likely and it wasn't until he was born that I could actually believe he was okay. I know how lucky and blessed we were. Thank God (literally) for three happy endings.

A dear friend has just had the same experience in the last few weeks and while I HATE that you or I or anybody ever has to lose a precious baby, I am grateful that my experience meant that I was able to care for her in a way that I wouldn't have been able to otherwise. Thank you for sharing your pain to bless someone else. I think you know my story, and that I weep with you.

I lost my baby boy at 28 weeks last Dec. 28th so this is a hard month for me. Hope to start trying in January again. That made me cry too.

This is the most detail I've ever heard about your loss and it's so heartwrenching. I know that your story will be a source of comfort to others who have gone through this pain. Oh, Ange.
