Hi. I keep ready all the stories you've been sharing and thought I'd share mine too. A few of the posts you've shared, when I've read them, it just seems to be at the right time and just what I needed at that particular point -thank you! So my story - in May we found out we were pregnant for the first time. Both of us were so excited. The normal symptoms kicked in, sickness, crazy sense of smell and prickly boobs. Around 10 weeks these started to ease a little, I assumed that was normal, that's what people tell you, things start to get better the closer to 12 weeks you get. 2 days before my 12 week scan I had a tiny bit of spotting so headed in to get checked. Tests were still showing I was pregnant. I went for my scan, as they completed the external scan the doctor asked if i was sure my dates were right, I knew then something wasn't right. He told me they needed to do an internal scan, it was then he told me 'I'm sorry, it's not the news you are hoping for'. I had lost my baby about 4 weeks before but my body hadn't reacted. I'd had a missed miscarriage. 2 days later, the day I was supposed to have my 12 week scan I was back at the hospital, on the same ward, only instead of having a scan I was being put under general anesthetic so they could remove the pregnancy. The last 5 months have been tough. I've experienced every emotion going. We are staying hopeful that one day we will get our rainbow baby. I really hope the same for you too. You never think it will happen to you, until it does, and that's when you realise just how many other couples are going through this. Thank you for sharing your story and breaking the taboo on this. I so wanted to do something positive like this when I found out but as yet I haven't had the strength other than to talk openly about it to my friends and family. xxx
