Thanks for the Prayers, but I Lost the Baby at 12 weeks.

We named the baby Gabriel. I have to go to the doctor on Monday to get the baby out. Apparently the baby died at around 9 1/2 weeks, but I never miscarried. The only sign was very light bleeding and tons of cramps, which was yesterday. I wasn't too concerned, because the doctor told me after a heartbeat was confirmed at 8 1/2 weeks, the chances of miscarriage were slim. I went in for an ultrasound just to be sure, thinking nothing was really wrong. The technician told me the doctors would have to tell me the results. So we went home, just a little worried. Then the doctor called and told me there had been no heartbeat.

Thank God I at least have the ultrasound pictures at 8 1/2 weeks. We framed them.

Now I am going to cry my eyes out. Happy Mothers Day.

Hi Diana -

I have dropped by via friends' blogs here and there, and this post breaks my heart. Please be assured of my heartfelt thoughts and prayers.

I've been there, too, several times. But by the grace of God the sun shone down on us after 7 terrible years of heartbreak. (You can read about it on my blog if it helps you)

I hope your Mother's Day finds you hugging and loving your little angels here on earth, and knowing that your little angel Gabriel will be waiting for you in Heaven.

((hugs!))
-Kit

I remember it pretty much being a living nightmare of hellish proportions. I only have an ultrasound photo of one baby but I buried it with the remains of the other one. I never got to really name either of them for some reason and that still haunts me. I hope our babies are seeing the face of God and praying for US! I will continue to pray for you. I hope you find peace soon and relief from the pain.

Oh, my. I can feel the heaviness of your heart, and I am so very sorry. My heart aches for you, and I will pray for the Consoler to overshadow you and bring you peace. Within the Octave of Pentecost, may God hold you close.
