The beginning of the end

All I wanted for Christmas this year was to enjoy what seemed to be the cessation of my interminable morning sickness. A warm, quiet house on our last child-free Christmas, with day dreams of the happy chaos to come. That morning I woke up to a gush, knowing something was horribly wrong. It was the beginning of the end. My boys would not last; my husband and I -- our hearts broken -- would never be the same.

I am so, so sorry to hear about your loss. In November, I lost my son Zach at 20 weeks. There are times the hurt seems almost too much to bear.

I would love to hear more about your precious little boys.

STE, I'm so very sorry.

I just read this on the Lost and Found connections and my heart just aches for you.

I had a similar experience, with the rupturing of my membranes after an emergency cerclage. My twin girls didn't make it.

Please feel free to email me, if I can do anything at all. I know, that the support of this amazing on-line community has made a world of difference to me.

I am so, so sorry.

I am so sorry that you had such a horrible Christmas. I have experienced PROM twice now and the trauma still haunts me. I hope you are taking good care of yourself and being gentle, it is an awful thing to go through and you deserve all the love and time and support you can surround yourself with.
