oh claire. i don't really post on here much but i know how you are all feeling. i had a miscarriage 2weeks ago today. i was nearly 12weeks pregnant. it is the most awful experience after pinning your hopes on this little baby. it must be hard for you to know what to do, i didn't want to talk about it but needed people around to keep my mind active. i have only just gone back to work and life is getting back to normal. take care shirley

Claire I have had a miscarriage myself, my mother had 3 miscarriages, my sister-in-law lost a baby at 5 and a half months, my mother-in-law's first baby died at 2 minutes' old. It is absolutely devastating and I am so sorry for you and your daughter and partner. You need time to grieve. On the positive side, my mother, mother-in-law, sister in law and self all gave birth to two healthy children after our losses. Thinking of you. nell

hi sorry i have a lovely poem that someone sent me after my miscarrige. hope you don't mind me posting it for your daughter, and i hope i don't offend anyone by doing so. shirley An Angel Never Dies Don't let them say I wasn't born, that something stopped my heart. I felt each tender squeeze you gave, I've loved you from the start. Although my body, you can't hold it doesn't mean I'm gone This world was worthy not of me God chose that I move on. I know the pain that drowns your soul what you are forced to face. You'll have my word, I'll fill your arms, someday we will embrace. You'll hear that it was 'meant to be' God doesn't make mistakes. But that won't soften your first blow or make your heart not ache. I'm watching over all you do Another child you'll bear Believe me when I say to you That I am always there. There will come time, I promise you when you will hold my hand, stroke my face and kiss my lips, and then you'll understand. Although I've never breathed your air, Or gazed into your eyes That doesn't mean I never was An Angel Never Dies.

Shirley - that was lovely. I had a miscarriage 8 years ago, and now have a wonderful soon-to-be-7 year old, but I still grieve for my first baby. Claire - all my love and thoughts go to you and your family. Look after your daughter; I'm sure she'll need you. Kim x
