Infant and Pregnancy Loss Awareness Day

Today is Infant and Pregnancy Loss Awareness Day.

I have lost 3 early-term pregnancies in the past 2yrs with a probable 4th. It doesn't make me sad. It doesn't mean you have to skirt your own pregnancy news around me. It just means that now is not the right time for one to stay.

That time my never come but I have 2 of the most wonderful/horrible children that anyone could ask for so I have come to terms with my losses. ♥

I cried the first time. It was right after I turned 21 and Jason was still really little. But then I took a breath, stepped outside myself, and started to believe that THAT PARTICULAR baby was meant for someone else and not me. The body is just a shell. It's what's in it that counts.

That soft, soul-filled nougat center. xD

I think it would take considerably longer for me to cope if it'd been after the first 10wks. After the doctor agrees it's viable. I could never imagine the way it feels to have a stillborn child. Those women that can move on are stronger than I am.


All of mine were after Jason. I had this ridiculously-strong drive to get pregnant directly after he was born and I was so scared it was because my body was nearing the end of it's time for babies.

The longest I've held a pregnancy in the... last 2yrs was about 7.5wks (wasn't completely certain). I've gotten a positive test 3x in the past 2yrs. All failed. It's exceedingly hard for me to even get pregnant. We've been "trying" for a year now.
