I have lost three babies in a ...Thank you for this. I have lost three babies in a row over the the last few years. They all died between 10-12 weeks gestation. No-one can give me answers. We never did any genetic testing. So not only do we not know why, we don't know if the babies were boys or girls. The first one my husband was firm (still is)in his belief that it was a girl. I wasn't as sure. So I prayed. I prayed all the time.One night I heard the name whispered to me. It was a girls name. So I too, now believe it was a girl. The next one I knew the name from the beginning of the pregnancy. The last one I had a few names picked, but until she was born, I wasn't sure which one I'd be using. When I held her in my hand, I knew. I believe in Mother's intuition, gut feelings, whatever you want to call it. Thank you for your blog. You have helped me today, get through what will become a really hard few days. Tomorrow is the anniversary of the day I delivered my last baby. I dread to think that she really was my LAST baby. I had that thought that day as I held her. Ironically, I have yet to get pregnant again. Tomorrow it will be exactly one year. Again thank you. Your words are all perfect.<br />May you have a blessed day!The Farm-Marmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16317109590740405836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273909430922264674.post-90293713672156541792012-05-05T07:44:49.265-04:002012-05-05T07:44:49.265-04:00Lori, I cannot tell you how much this post struck ...Lori, I cannot tell you how much this post struck a nerve with me. <br />Throughout my whole pregnancy, I just had this gut feeling that my baby would be too big. My OB laughed at me and many others who would often say... "Oh the scans always say your baby is big, but your baby will probably be normal size"...... Well 1 emergency c-section and a 10lbs 10oz baby later... I learned that my mothers instinct was so right... and it has been so right on many many occasions. Infact, it is very rarely wrong. <br />I have also recently learnt that my instinct is also right, even when its not something I want it to be right about.....<br /><br />Im so glad to hear you are feeling better. Your stronger than I could ever imagine being. <br />xAmeliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10538613303906970435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273909430922264674.post-10572301311538892202012-05-04T10:16:13.549-04:002012-05-04T10:16:13.549-04:00You should always, always listen to your gut. Wha...You should always, always listen to your gut. What's the worst that could happen; the people at the Dr.'s offices start calling you the crazy lady who demands to have an ultrasound every other day? I was that lady. I'm sure the nurses and Dr.'s hated me, but I didn't care. And I believe that you are 100% correct in that your baby was a girl and she had Trisonomy 22. She was exactly one half of you - from you - made from you - essentially a part of you. Even if you never laid eyes on her - you would know her immediately, anywhere. You knew her while she grew in your womb. She spoke to you before she even had a mouth to talk with; heaven is just a long-distance phone call. Your daughter will call you often - as will her brother. And don't ever be unsure of whether to tell people that or not. What's the worst that could happen; people will start calling you the crazy lady who thinks people from heaven are talking to her? Well, those people are called assholes and who really cares what an asshole thinks anyways.SJWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05040333121747509866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273909430922264674.post-76494108094167572972012-05-04T09:12:50.898-04:002012-05-04T09:12:50.898-04:00Tears,chills and an A-MEN!.......

In some ways she hadn't, but in other ways she had. Somehow that was comforting.<br /><br />There was something comforting about knowing she'd died before whatever it was that killed her had had a chance to attack her later when she was more developed. Know what I mean? It kills me to think she was in pain but I'm glad she died when she did as I couldn't fathom surviving losing her at birth like we did Evan.Ausmerican Housewife - Creating with Kara Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16075297679140718497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273909430922264674.post-25338517330427059732012-05-03T22:44:22.141-04:002012-05-03T22:44:22.141-04:00I love you - that's all I can say.

The rational was based on the continual evidence that allow others to sway my decisions never worked out for the best (be it major or minor decisions) and also with the fact that I, not them, have to live with the consequences. <br /><br />My point: I fully support you listening to your gut. Because all too often, it's usually right. We know instinctively when something is off and it's important that we listen to our internal warning system. Those who discount this usually are not as in-tune.<br /><br />Continue to think of you during this time as you heal and prepare for the journey ahead. And I have faith that your darling daughter is with Matthew and that both of your angels are wrapping you and your family in love.Cristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04317873211902543387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273909430922264674.post-51100384329793743492012-05-03T16:17:27.558-04:002012-05-03T16:17:27.558-04:00Big hugs, Lori.
