Marie – I am so sorry to read about your babies. I don’t know how I kept trying. There were times when I just wanted it all to end but I couldn’t keep going without the baby I wanted. So I just kept trying and doing something different each time in the hope that it would make a difference. And that gave me hope. You still have a very good chance of success after 3 miscarriages but I know how hard it is to try again. I wish you all the best and hope you get your dream soon.

Congradulations on your successful delivery. We have 1 wonderful daughter. But after Leah was born we have had 4 miscarraiges. The 1st 3 I fell pregnant normally and missed at around 9 wks. We decided to use a fertility treatment and was successful on the 2nd treatment. I was certain my dream was fulfilled all I had to do was wait until October but I went for a scan on my 13wk and our baby had died at around 9wks. My question Fiona is how do you stay trying. My dream has been taken away..

congratulations on your impending birth and I hope all goes well for you. your poignant description of the pain that still exists re your six miscarriages was beautiful. I had two last year and having just had the go-ahead from the doctor to go ahead (discovered I was low in progesterone), I’m excited, happy, sad for the babies I lost and very nervous.

Looking forward to reading about the new baby

The feed is at http://makingbabies.ie/wordpress/feed/

Let me know if you’re having problems accessing it – I’ve noticed that not that many people have subscribed to it. Maybe I just need a big button at the top of the blog advertising it.

They will never be forgotten.

The little girl inside of you promises so much. I am so thankful you have this opportunity, F.

(By the way, is there anyway you can turn a feed on so it will pick up in bloglines?)

I believe all my losses have made me into a better person. I am stronger and I love so much better than I ever have. Only now do I feel this way, it took me three years to feel like this. I never really mourned my babies, more the baby I knew I could never have..just like you said. I was never comfortable mourning the loss as I felt so damn lucky to have my beautiful son, I still feel this way. I am so bloody lucky and so, so grateful.

Beautifully put!

How well I can identify with all that remembering and forgetting and the mixed emotions surrounding baby loss.

The reality is Fiona, life moves on and so do we. Our history is what shapes us and makes us into what we are today. I know I’ve gained great strength from adversity faced and strange as it may sound, I feel really lucky too!

I can’t imagine that it in any way would EVER get easier. I’m too scared to even allow myself to try to.

I’m sorry for your losses, each and every one.

I look forward with a frankly weird amount of excitement for the news to come.

There is no doubting your champion status, that’s for sure.

All the very best.
