in Pregnancy loss, stillbirth and infant loss 👼

Umbilical cord prolapse - 3rd trimester

I lost my baby on 9 march. My water broke on 7 March and I had an emergency c section. I keep feeling as though if I had gotten to the ER sooner that she’d be here. I feel like it’s my fault and ptsd and depression is kicking my butt. It’s hard to see pregnant women and babies. My grief was too much for my partner and now I’m dealing with a break up and loss of my baby girl.

Show your support

It’s not your fault mama you have to stop blaming yourself i know it’s hard because i to lost a baby please talk to someone that’s what got me a bit better

I am so so sorry for your loss 🤍 When we get pregnant, it's scary but true, that there is very little we can control. We can avoid alcohol, drugs and cigarettes, but ultimately we are just passengers on that 9 month journey. You are not at fault. You made the best most sensible decisions you could, with the knowledge you had. That's what a good Mummy does - you are a good Mummy. We are not superheroes or time travellers - you did everything you knew to do. I will repeat - THIS WAS NOT YOUR FAULT. Your partner obviously is grieving in his own way. Don't blame yourself for this - you are allowed to and need to grieve. If you need to scream into a pillow, you scream into a pillow and dont worry what those around you think. I know its does not feel possible right now, but it does get easier to cope with. But it is still so soon and so please be kind to yourself. I hope you have people around you supporting you and if not, please reach out x

I'm so so sorry. Just know you did nothing wrong. Sending you a big hug as a stillborn mom. It is so hard.

Oh my! This story just shows how every stage in a pregnancy is delicate. Please don’t blame yourself. May your heart find peace

I am so sorry that you went through this. You did nothing wrong at all. Please grieve, ask questions, remember your baby, do whatever makes you feel better. Fathers take it hard too. I know it feels like nothing will ever get better and nothing will ever replace your baby or the emotions you feel right now. You are amazing and you'll get through it his. My baby died last year at 27 weeks. It's his death anniversary this week. I have had therapy ever since he died and no matter what anyone says or does, although you'll never forget it you learn to live with it. Sending so much love and prayers your way ❤️

I’m so sorry for your loss. 🩷 praying for you!

It's not your fault. It's a difficult journey waiting many more women sadly. Focus on healing. Know the grief, though tough, is normal; trust in it - it will eventually resolve the very worst pain. I found it comforting to know that some of baby's cells are still in the mum and will be for some time, it's called microchimerism. Your baby is with the angels,x

Thank you all 🙏🏾 this journey has been rough & im praying for better days
