I have suffered two MMC one in July 2009 at 8 weeks gestation and one last week at 14 weeks gestation. I had to give birth to my angel and we will be having a cremation service on monday.
I have photos of my baby from the hospital and they took tiny hand and footprints, but I wanted other things as well (i didnt do anything with first MMC as I had a D & C to nothing to see or hold - although we now feel guilty about this so our first little one will also be metioned on monday)
i found a site on ebay where a lady makes jewellery for miscarriage. I have received a beautiful necklace with a little angel and baby feet and also a lovely charm bracelet, which has little feet, wings and little charms with writing on like `remember` i will waer both of these on monday.
I have also bought a `willow tree` ornament - called Forget-me-not - which is `holding thoughts of you closely` this is now on a shelf in our lounge with a tiny little teddy bear i bought yesterday for my little one. We will always now have these as a reminder. I did`nt want to put a plant in the garden, becasue you would be sad again if it died or you moved house.
I think little things we do like this will be a reminder that our little ones are always in our hearts and thoughts.
