New here also

[fluffydamn]

So we learned last Thursday that baby's heart stopped beating. Yesterday I had my D&C and it went good. Little pain and light bleeding. They pulled a bunch of blood to check if I had anything to do with it. Also sent off the baby to be tested. Still kind of numb to everything and nervous about being around extended family on Easter. (Baby and pregnancy triggers)

Hope you don't mind if I join you over here

I am so sorry for your loss! Good luck this weekend, remember you can take moments to yourself whenever you need them! Do what you have to to make it through. So many *hugs*

I'm very sorry for your loss. I'm glad that your D&C went alright. I can understand being nervous this weekend. Don't be afraid to step away and take a moment to yourself if you need to. I hope you can start to heal and get some peace soon. ((Hugs))

I am so sorry for your loss and we all welcome you here. *hugs*

Did your family know of your pregnancy or had you not told anyone yet? I am sure it will be hard for you but like the other ladies said, don't feel bad about stepping away and taking some time to be by yourself. If your family didn't know it may be a bit harder but if they do know, they should understand.

I am sending you positive thoughts for this weekend!

My family does but not the extended ie: aunts/uncles/cousins.

Sometimes the hardest part is putting on a front that all is ok when it's not. I am so sorry. Hopefully it won't be too bad for you and at least your close family knows and will hopefully understand.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

In relation to Easter, do what is best for you. If that means eating and running, great. If you are a churchgoer, head home after the service. Or you might just come down with a bug and can't make it at all. Don't feel obligated to do anything you are not ready for.

I am so sorry for your loss. I'm glad your D&C went well. Be gentle with yourself this weekend. It is totally okay to break down or step away if you need to.

Oh, fluffydamn, I am so sorry it ended this way! I know it started a bit of a roller coaster, but I had hoped so much that it would work out for you. I am very sorry for your loss. ((((Hugs))))

I'm sorry for your loss, but glad your d&c went well ((hugs))

As for Easter- do what is best for you. If that means bowing out early (or not going at all) do that. Just tell the extended family you aren't feeling well, I'm sure everyone would understand.

Awww fluffydamn so sorry to see you over here. Sending you major love and hugs.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

For me, I found the anticipation of a trigger to be worse than whatever person or event I was nervous about. It also helped to plan my 'escape route' in advance.

[starfishy]

So sorry to hear of your loss. I'm glad the d&c went well.
Take care of yourself.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Be gentle with yourself and do what feels right for you. In terms of Easter, sometimes I find it helps to be around family and sometimes it doesn't. Know that either decision is just fine. You are very welcome on this board - I've found a lot of comfort from these ladies in just my short time here. ((Hugs))

fluffydamn, it sucks that you have to be here, I'm sorry.
