Medical practitioners as well as literature agree, and we all certainly want to think that there is light at the end of our tunnel.
However, not every family has a happy ending. Some of them have a bittersweet subsequent pregnancy, welcoming a living child who is not perfectly healthy.
Other families might have to endure one or more subsequent losses.
I haven’t found much online on this subject as most literature seem to focus on the happy ending-stories. This is, i imagine, because someone who has already lost a child needs to read about experiences where the subsequent pregnancy’s outcome is a living and healthy child.
I stand on the very wrong side of statistics, having had a first stillborn baby, a living second-born child and then a miscarriage and another stillborn baby after him.
I do know several families who had happy endings, but I also know families who didn’t.
Share your story hereunder or on our Baby In Heaven Facebook Page, or on The Compassionate Friends Facebook Group if you wish to build a community around this subject.
I am sure this will be helpful to many families in the years to come.
