Unhappy Sad news.

Recently I found out I was pregnant. I was going to wait to tell you guys in a little while. I was about 6 weeks when I found out. Tomas and I were elated. Unfortunatly Friday I misscarried at 8 weeks. I'm having a really hard time right now, so is Tomas. It didn't help that I started school monday. I was hoping maybe you guys could say a little prayer for him (I know it was too soon to know but I just had a feeling it was a him).

Gavin James
left us 8-26-05
estimated due date 3-22-06

I loved you before I met you and I'll love you for eternity. Please find peace wherever you are.

So very sorry Jackie. I miscarried at 12 weeks and it is always difficult. Allow yourself to grieve but know that miscarriage is normally God's way of taking Angels early.

Oh, Jackie. I miscarried once at about 8 weeks as well. :sad: It's another one of those experiences that you can't quite understand until you've lived it. I agree with Tigger, though. Sometimes these things happen for a reason, and it was probably for the best. Now you have your own little angel watching over you.

So sorry jackie. My prayers are with you. I know it can be very difficult and dissappointing, especially if you had planning for some time.
I have worked with pregnant women for several years, and perhaps you can find some comfort knowing that you are not alone. Many, many women miscarry with their first, so you are not alone in your grieving.
I'm sure that you will get pregnant again very soon. I wish you all the best.

I'm so sorry Jackie! I have a friend who recently went through this and she said "It's amazing how quickly you get attached to it." I can't imagine. Please don't get too down. It might sound trivial, but the reasoning behind it all really isn't anything personal. I know it's very hard. Just take care of yourself. :love:

Thank so much for all the well wishes. Its been really hard. Some of you know we were having a hard time conceving (trying for over a year) so losing this little one was very difficult. We have decided to stop trying for a while, we need some time to grieve. We're not sure when we will try agian but it probably won't be for a while. But I wanted to let you know that you guys are great support and you all mean very much to me.

Jackie, so sorry to hear of your loss. You and Thomas will be strong and Gavin James will help watch over you now. Take your time and it's amazing the things that happen when we least expect it. Be there for each other now and grieve together. Talk lots. I can't know your pain, but hugs to you both with all my heart.

I'm sorry for your loss... statistics show that actually a lot of women dont even know they're pregnant and miscarry without ever finding out.

you're not standing alone.

seek help if you're looking to grow your family. and good luck!
