Titi darling. I'm so sorry.
We had two other couples who were in our bereavement group who's babies had the same thing. It breaks my heart that your going through the same journey. This will be a trying time for you and I HIGHLY recommend when things quiet down and you start the REAL grieving, that you think about grieving counseling. Many local hospitals have infant grieving programs and it helps to get through those emotions and talk with other couples who've been there. We only went a couple times as It helped to let go my heartache and then I needed to deal with it with my husband on our own.
Just know we all love you dearly here and are so sorry for what you are going through. If you ever want to talk, feel free to pm me as I understand full well what it's like to lose a child so early and to deal with the pain that is a process.
Lucy, sounds like your slowly starting to dialate. I've hear that it can take awhile to get to 3 cm's and then people tend to go quickly, not quite sure how accurate that is because I was 3cm with my last preterm pregnancy and had NO CLUE.
Then it took 23 hours after that to give birth to Jackson.
Hope you start going quickly and I'm looking forward to hearing the birth story my friend!
Anna, thanks for asking. Sasha is still limping. The vet said it's not broken which is good. He thinks it could be that she wrenched her back, hurt a muscle or has arthritis. Considering she was okay before this, I'm thinking she did something after maybe slipping down the stairs. Like me, it took several months to heal. He gave her a shot to deal with the pain and we have to call him at the end of the week to see how she's doing. Poor little baby. It just breaks my heart.
Speaking of breaking my heart. I'm overemotional the past couple of days. I have INTENSE nausea, slight pain in my hip from the injection and now I find myself going to the grocery store and falling to tears for absolutely NO REASON.
I'm just emotional this week. SO odd!
I'm starting to annoy myself!
Speaking of grocery store trip, I started to laugh in the checkout. All fruits and veggies...there were no meats whatsoever in the cart! I wasn't paying attention but it seems that even my phsyche has started avoiding meats. I can't BARE to be around them and I think that may be why I'm so emotional. Eating and figuring out which foods I want to eat for each meal has been trying for me.
On a lovely note, yesterday was my 37th birthday and I got the lovliest surprise ever!! Our dear friend from church who's been waiting for SEVERAL years got THE CALL! This morning she traveled to Cleveland Clinic for her organs.
We're praying her body responds well to them and praying also for the family who lost their YOUNG daughter.
such a bitter-sweet moment but this young girl lefts gifts to so many others and such a legacy behind! Praise God!!
Welcome Clairbyl!!
