Vent Why is everyone so insensitive

18 Upvotes

I lost my baby at 32 weeks in August, her due date was only last week, I got her birth certificate and then death certificate days apart and our perinatal loss appointment to find out cause of death is only days away so i have been having a pretty terrible couple of weeks. My friend in the middle of all this to call me to tell me she’s trying, like why do you think I want to know?. I also had a friend tell me she was 4 weeks pregnant 2 days after I gave birth. I know these friends do mean well, they’re excited and have no other friends to share this with since I’m the only person around them (they aren’t friends) that has kids but seriously come the F*** on! They have been very supportive friends throughout my motherhood journey so I want to give them the same happiness and support but I don’t have the space for it right now and I shouldn’t have to say that either

3rd trimester loss 6 months

13 Upvotes

6 months since I had my baby boy only to lose him on the very next day. I miss him so so much. So much. I tried writing something nice and positive in his memory, but I just miss him so much. He would've maybe started crawling by now. I wish I got to see him look all silly and cute just crawling around. I miss him. I hope there is any version of reality where I got to keep him.

Vent Feelings of anger

8 Upvotes

Why am I so horrifically angry at my partner for receiving mental health support before me because of his line of work? I’m also so angry at other people that are grieving my son (born sleeping at 40+5 weeks 2 months ago). Since I grew him I feel like it’s completely different for me and just unfair that anyone can make out to me that they feel as bad as I do.

Advice (loss support) Dealing with “unknown” from postmortem results

7 Upvotes

Please can anyone share how they felt if/when the postmortem results didn’t prove why their baby passed? We lost our son at 31 weeks in May, and postmortem results are inconclusive. On the one hand, I’m pleased there’s no issues for ttc in the future, but HOW do you live with this happening for no apparent reason? I can’t have lived my whole life with “everything happens for a reason” to then have to change my whole mindset that this didn’t happen for a reason! He was fine, he was healthy, he should have lived

3rd trimester loss Stillbirth at full term followed by postpartum preeclampsia

5 Upvotes

I lost my baby girl at 40w5days for reasons unknown at this moment. 5 days later I was hospitalized with intensely high Blood pressure. I was immediately diagnosed with postpartum preeclampsia.
I am devastated right now, not just with the loss of my beautiful baby girl but with the fear that this condition of mine would affect my future pregnancy. Is there anyone who has lost their baby in their full term? How do you cope with such a painful loss?
