I don't even know how to put everything into words anymore. All I know is I have this feeling inside of me. A longing. That's the only way I can describe it. I feel empty, and lost. Where my tummy was once starting to feel firm and round, it's now soft and watery. I hate it, it's like a constant reminder of what I've lost.
People ask me how I'm doing and all I can say is "better"
I guess I have been better, most of the time I can get up and go, get on with things. Then comes night time, when everyone else is sleeping, I struggle to sleep and just lay there feeling so empty and lonely.
It's such a horrible feeling, to feel alone when you're not even alone. When your partner is sleeping right next to you.
I just want my baby back. To hold my stomach and whisper all the things that I want to tell my child.
To say "please stay with me, please know I love you and can't wait to meet you, please carry on growing and I promise I'll do everything in my power to keep you safe"
I look at my little boy and I feel so sorry for him. He needs a sibling, someone he can play with and share secrets with.
Then I look at my partner and am amazed at how brilliant he is with my son, how desperate he is for a child of his own. How it breaks my heart that I couldn't give him that.
And yet he tells me that myself and my son is enough for him forever if needs be.
I'm scared this will happen again, I don't think I could handle it happening again at 12 weeks.
I can't wait to fall pregnant again, to spend every second of my pregnancy worrying and hoping that I'll be able to hold my beautiful child at the end of it. To take him or her home, and just be together. Us four, like it should be by Christmas, but which it won't be 😞
