Pregnant after fullterm stillbirth

Take one day at a time. Don't think or look too far ahead. Right now, today, you are pregnant with a healthy baby x

Sorry for your loss Marnie ❤️ The emotions are so hard to navigate 😕❤️‍🩹 I would vocalised how you’re feeling to the hospital and I’m sure they will do everything they can to support you. ❤️ There’s also a pregnant after loss group called “Sister Circle” which you could join! Also, I did counselling through a charity called “Petals”. They were PHENOMENAL so I’d highly recommend speaking to them. I didn’t experience a still birth at full term, however I did lose my daughter at 22 weeks due to premature labour so I can empathise with how you’re feeling! If you ever need someone to talk to then please message me. I’m always here to chat ❤️

So sorry about the passing of your son 💔 If your hospital had a bereavement midwife you found supportive you could let them know. Bereavement Midwives support pregnancy after loss too and they might be able to signpost you for local support. Otherwise I found Zoe Clark-Coates book pregnancy after loss helpful? I had a 20 week loss of my son last year and just had a baby following him so if you'd like to chat or vent please feel free to message me Sending you lots of support and be kind to yourself in these early weeks especially x

@Kath Lee yes we are having counseling through petals and I think we will try to continue (as only get 5 and our last is next week!) I've never heard of sister circle, thanks for the suggestion is that on peanut?? I'm so sorry for your loss. ❤️ It really is an unimaginable experience isn't it. I hope your pregnancy is going well. Sending you love and thank you! Will definitely message once I've digested this all 😧xx

@Siân so sorry about the loss of your son. ❤️ Congratulations on the news of your baby. I hope you are doing ok 💕 must be such a weird time! Sending you love. I've got the Zoe book, will dig that out.. I go from wanting to read about it and try and breathe through to wanting to pretend it's not real and detaching completely. Sadly I didn't like the bereavement midwife from the hospital, or the mfm doctor so won't be returning to the same hospital (which I think has increased anxiety as there's an element of everything being unknown). I have luckily got a rainbow clinic to support my main hospital care already pre-sorted which is helpful I guess. I think the mantra one day at a time will have to be replayed for now. Thanks for your message xxx

@Marnie Here’s the link https://sistercircle.org.uk/get-support Scroll down to “group peer support” and there’s a self referral form on there. I hope this helps ❤️
