Guest guest Posted January 3, 2000 Report Share Posted January 3, 2000 Fawn, I am so sorry for your loss. Take care of yourself and don't minimize what you are going through. You might consider naming your baby as that will make it easier to talk about. I am here to listen if you need to vent more. Feel free to email me personally. I can't imagine the pain you are feeling right now. Concentrate on your son and let your feelings flow. Surround yourself with loving friends and family. In Support, Wendi http://www.lactivist.com breastfeeding info & resources Re: bad news From: Fawnf12@... Hello and thanks to those of you who responded on my question about finding a birthing center. I'm so terribly sad to have to say though, that on Thurs. morning I started bleeding and have spent the weekend losing our precious baby. Those of you who've had to experience this know my saddness.
