If you are going through this or have gone through this I send you all the love in the world.

I recovered physically from the surgery pretty quickly, I took much longer mentally. I still get tearful a lot and feel hopeless. I have my scan picture to remind me that I can do it and that it will happen for me one day.

I remember the shock like it was yesterday, the audible gasp escaping from my mouth without warning. I sat in the bathroom for what seemed like an eternity, dreading having to walk down those stairs and say the words to my husband.

When you lose a baby, you lose everything that you imagined your life would be with your child; the memories you had already created.

Nothing is the same now that those dreams have gone away.

All hope and excitement gone within a couple of hours and replaced by grief and heartache.

I was only 16 years old. I was scared and very sad that I was losing my baby.

Please remember that you don’t have to go through this alone.
