Unhappy Loss of a infant in 2006 /miscarriage in 2008

Hello,
I have had a few losses in my life already and needing all the support I can get..
I recently givin birth to my fourth child, which was a little boy named Darrin, he was born on Feb 18 09..
My second child, Brett is about 19 months old and he has gives me the strength to keep going after I lost my first child, a daughter named Kierstyn when she was 2wks old, she died due to a heart condition, (coataion of the aorta) she also had turner sydrome...
My husband and I took Kierstyn home and on the 9th day of her birth is when Kierstyn started breathing funny and so we rushed her to the emergency room and that is where she stopped breathing on us for over 10 minutes .
My husband and I found out all the details of her condition after she was admitted to the NICU .
It was the same hospital I too had a grand mal seizure ( I had severe pre ecempsia and toxemia also high blood pressure) and stopped breathing for almost 4 mins myself, the same day, Aug 4th 06 my doctor decided to do a emergancy c-section to get Kierstyn out.
I don't remember much with giving birth to Kierstyn as I was put under and 3 days later woke up to a gorgeous little angel in front of me..
I do cherish the time I remember with her and am very thankful that I am able to have more children..
As my son, Brett was born Aug 09,07 and I was only on bed rest for 2 months and no signs of pre ecempsia so my husband and I thought of trying for another baby and I found out I was pregnant again Feb 08 (6wks) and miscarried that baby, which has been hard on me as well.. (Emotionally and Physically because of the heartache we already went though losing our daughter, we didn't think we would go though more) ..

I know I am not alone with losing a infant also miscarrying etc..
I guess I felt I could get though this with little to no help but I was wrong, with the mixed emotions that I had another babyboy..
It may be because I am still greving for my daughter and wishing to of had another little girl to do all the hopes and dreams I longed to do with Kierstyn.. I guess it doesn't help almost everyone I know are having little girls, it hurts even though Darrin looks so much like his big sister which usually helps me except for today, It still hard for me to go into stores and not look in the direction of cute dresses for the holidays......
But at this moment I guess I just can't help but feel sorry for myself and need help getting though the bad days still..
Thank you for listening and hope to find many friends joining this group..
Lots of hugs,
Kierstynsmommy

Re: Loss of a infant in 2006 /miscarriage in 2008

I understand how you feel. After we lost our first son at birth I went through a very high anxiety pregnancy with my second a year later. I was beyond thrilled to find out I was having a boy because I had my hopes and dreams for my first little boy still unfullfilled and had always wanted a boy. I remember thinking that if I had a girl I would still be happy but maybe a touch dissapointed. It is hard to believe that us moms who have lost babies would even care of the gender just as long as we had a healthy baby. But the heart feels what it feels and it is all a part of the grieving process. I too had high risk pregnancies and post pregnancy medical complications. I have decided to have no more babies due to my fears of heartbreak and my own medical risk. I grieve inside for the little girl I know I will never have as I always thought I would have both. I even have her name picked out and even though i didn't loose a girl, I grieve for my little one I know I am not going to have. What you feel is normal and for now just take it day by day. Some days are wonderful and memorable with our living children and others seem cold and burdensome. Some answers will come as time passes and there are still blessings to come your way. By the way congrats on your new arrival . . .
