I’m so sorry. It really does hurt so much and it is such a sucky thing to go through. Miscarriage rates up there in the horrible things to endure in life. I was really hoping that this thread wasn’t going to be what it is. Bugger ☹ ---

Hang in there. I know how hard it is to lose a baby. All that potential, all those plans… I’m not going to promise to pray for you. I just took a few minutes and actually did it. I usually read this kind of thread, having had way too much experience in this kind of thing. From what I’ve read in the last couple of years, your little one has a fair number of Doper Babies to hang out with until the rest of us get there. I have to believe they’re all happy and healthy and safe, playing in the sunshine. Right this minute on TV, someone’s singing “Vaya Con Dios”. Go with God, little one. Love, zoogirl ---

I’m so sorry. I know how you feel. My wife and I lost a baby right after we told everybody, so in addition to losing the baby, we had to bum everybody out by telling them, too. ☹ But hang in there! A few short months after our loss, my wife became pregnant again (we held off telling folks for a while) and we now have a beautiful 17 month old son. Just wanted to let you know that there IS a road ahead. Good luck to you both! ---
