We were rushed to a local hospital however, by that time, my son had suffered severe brain damage and could no longer breathe on his own. He was put on life support and for 4 days we waited for any sign of improvement. We made the decision to take him off life support at 4 days old. It was the most difficult experience of my life. It still hurts and pulls at my heart to think that my baby who I carried for 9 whole months is not here with us. 3 months later I became pregnant again however that pregnancy ended naturally at 12 weeks due to a blighted ovum. Even so that loss did not hurt as much as loosing my son. We have not lost hope and are hoping sometime soon we may conceive again and have a healthy, live brother or sister for my son that we can bring home with us and give all the love we have. 6 months ago, I lost my full term son secondary to oxygen depravation during my vaginal, unmedicated delivery at a birth center.

We are totally devastated :( I read the first chapter of this book and am hoping I can find it here in Canada. I have posted a letter on Facebook and was suprised and comforted at all the comments and messages we received on baby loss. We are sad and confused as to why this is so common yet no one seems to talk about it. My heart is with you all....shedding tears for all of us daily. Time may heal even the deepest wounds but the scars will always remain. Our baby boy was silently born on December 8, 2012 at 21 weeks.

I am currently 18 and a high school senior. I found out six weeks ago tomorrow, on October 8th, that I had lost my little one at 5 weeks, after a previous 14-month battle with Ovarian Cancer. I opted for a natural MC. It took a week for her to come, but when she finally did, it brought me little solace. I returned to school the next day, as my doctor wouldn't write me an excuse for missing school. I had no prescribed pain medicine. I sat through my classes with debilitating cramps and tried my best to stay focused. I was sitting next to a friend and sent her a text message about my MC because I found it hard to deal with on my own. A girl who was sitting by her saw the text message. Rumors have been circulating that I had an abortion. In the Bible Belt, that is not a good thing to have against you. We had a performance in Theatre last week, and my character contributes to the death of a 7 year old kid due to a drug problem. One of the audience members, a boy, yelled out "Wouldn't be the first time she's killed a kid". I can't tell you how alone I feel. I find myself being sad on random occasions. I cry until my chest hurts every single night, wishing there was some way I could have my baby back... or even join her. If I didn't only have six months of school left, I think I would have either transitioned into a GED program or transferred schools. People keep telling me that I need professional help like I'm crazy or something, when it's only been six weeks. I can see now that there really is no light at the end of the tunnel... but somehow I have to keep going. That chapter really took hold of my heart and emotions and spoke to me.

I was so happy to find out I was pregnant because I was trying for so long to have a baby. I feel so empty now I just want all the pain to go away. I lost my baby yesterday and all I can do is cry.

My husband and I spent seven agonizing hours in the ER and I underwent two vaginal ultrasounds before the DR. told us what I already knew - our baby had passed. I was eight weeks pregnant in our six month old marriage. We were then left alone to console one another. Where as previously the ER has been noisy - everyone within ear shot was silenced by our weeping. That was five days ago yet it feels like five weeks. My husband has internalized his grief but I sobbed uncontrollably in church service earlier today. I felt angry with him for not grieving openly with me and our congregation. Later as I lie in bed researching miscarriage and suicidal thoughts I came across this website. After reading the first chapter of "Baby Dust" I can't wait to hold him, tell him that I love him and hopefully - try again. Thank you for sharing your pain so that we may work through ours.
