Hi all.
16 months ago I lost my son at 25+5 weeks pregnant. As you will know the devastation lasts forever. I am pregnant with our rainbow baby, a little girl.
I visited my aunt and nan today and something was said about labour and I made a comment that my mum keeps telling me this one will be 10lb (as a joke, I have gestational diabetes) and my aunt said 'I told mum the other day that the 2nd birth is always easier, they just fly out' I nearly burst into tears, this is my 3rd baby, not my 2nd. I have a 7 year old daughter, I was heart broken, I distracted myself and was just about to leave when my sister came in and well, we all got distracted.
Now sat here thinking about it and feeling so so sad, how can people just 'forget' that I had a baby 16 months ago, my son, my angel? I feel like I should have said something, that I have now disrespected his memory by not setting her straight. I know in my heart of hearts she didn't mean to upset me and would be gutted if I told her. She had a stillbirth years ago, when it was just brushed under the carpet, I thought she would understand.
I feel like I don't want to go there anymore
