[quote=Anonymous]I'm so sorry for your loss.

I found out 1 year ago today that my baby had died at 18 weeks. I still miss our baby (and cried this morning when looking at ultrasound photos of him).

We did all of the testing available and never figured out why he passed away. I attended a Capitol MISS Foundation meeting, read a lot about pregnancy loss, cried a lot, and talked with my husband about missing the baby. I think I went through some post-traumatic stress and depression. We also had two major family losses in the 8 months after.

We are fortunate to be expecting another baby. The new baby is not a replacement, but is a big source of hope. The second pregnancy had some complications in the beginning, and my doctors at GW have been really supportive to make sure I get extra reassurances.

I'm a private person and kept a lot to myself, my husband, mom, and sister. But I have found over time that it helps to (appropriately) mention to people that we lost a baby and feel like I'm not hiding.

You're not alone.[/quote]
