Gravatar Very sad to read your story. As a non-profit we provide a number of support functions. You can see us at www.pre-eclampsia.blogspot.com or www.apec.org.uk. Please email us if we can help at all.


Gravatar Thank you, Mike. Your sites are very interesting.


Gravatar I'm very sorry to hear about your loss, Mrs. Blessed, but I am glad you are still with us.


Gravatar We lost two babies within two years after our Boo was born - both during the first trimester. The pain has faded but the memories remain. Time is a balm on wounds that run deep and true. Hold each other tight; God is holding you. Love, Larswife


Gravatar Mrs. Blessed, I am so sorry to hear about this sad event in your life. Will say a prayer for you and your husband. Best, Izzy (The Homeschooling Revolution)


Gravatar Dear Sister, I think of and pray for your family often. I am so, so, so sorry for the death of your precious son. I look forward to the day I am privileged to meet him. Hugs and love, Stephanie


Gravatar I came here via your comment on my blog. I am so, so sorry to hear of your loss.

Oddly enough, I too had a kind of premonition that I would never hold my twins in my arms. Even before there was any reason to fear, I threw out all the ultrasound pictures and refused to talk about the pregnancy with any of my friends.


Gravatar Hi Niobe! My mother came up a few weeks before Wyatt was due, and she saw that I had his ultrasound pictures on the top of our microwave in the kitchen. She picked them up to protect them and put them safely into a plastic sleeve (naturally!), and I snatched them out of her hand and stuffed them, crumpled, in a drawer.

Once, during an NST, a nurse tried to reassure me by telling me how much faith she had in mothers' intuition. I said, "Please don't tell me that-- I think my baby is going to die." After the whole thing happened, I had to hold her while she cried.

Had I found the Preeclampsia Foundation before I developed preeclampsia, perhaps I would have felt I had some actual support for the extreme anxiety I was feeling. I would tell my OB and I would tell my husband how "Something is wrong!" but no one really believed me.

As time passes, my guilt compounds instead of allieviates. But what could I have said? "I have this overwhelming feeling of dread"?

The PF lists that feeling as a characteristic of PE, and I am very grateful for that. As unscientific as that is, it may be enough to give another woman the courage to be more aggressive and assertive with her doctor in a way that I was not.

Thanks for coming to my blog, Niobe. I also appreciate your posts on the PF forum.
