As quite a few of you know, my daughter was expecting twins, however we were recently advised that she was having what is termed a Mono-amniotic pregnancy, and that the outcome wasn't great. During her fortnightly scan yesterday we were told that both babies had died.

She has now got to wait until Saturday to be admitted to the delivery suite at the hospital where she will be given a pessary (sp) every 3 hours to bring on labour.

She has- to all our horror, got to delivery these babies as normal.

I've pondered since yesterday whether to make this post, however as a few of of you knew about her pregnancy and the difficulties involved I thought it right to let you know.

I'm not really a praying person, but since yesterday I have been doing- I honestly don't know how we're going to get through Saturday and the weeks/months to follow.

If anyone feels this post is a bit too depressing, feel free to report it, it has however helped slightly to write it down.

Thanks for listening.

Oh B00 i am so so sorry that it came to such a tragic end. My thoughts are with you, your daughter and the whole family, I cant possible imagine what you are all going through.

It is truly awful that the only end to this is via a natural birth. I wish your daughter all the best at such a sad sad time xxx

The Rev will say a prayer ;-)
let it all out hun, I have tears here for you all too and i dont even know you

Holding it in will only make you ill hun x
Dear Boo - how awful for all of you. This might not help much, but my sister had the same thing happen to her. Nobody quite knew what to say or do - and then afterwards, she told us that she'd wanted all the comfort she could get. She went on to have three more children, and everything's fine now, but I know it must be an awful time for your family, and I wish your daughter well. x
have just welled up reading all this. my heart goes out to both of you. words alone cannot offer any respite. however please accept my most profound sorrow for your loss and my thoughts will be with both of you over the next few days.

and no - it is not depressing, as has already been stated - talking about it can help

good luck to you both.

IF, and i repeat, only IF you feel like posting again after it is all over we all i'm sure would want to know that you are both getting past this dreadful time

regards,

I don't know you or your daughter personally Boo but I cried when I read your post, how very tragic.

I will keep your daughter, you and your family in my thoughts!

I'm so very sorry!

Love & wishes to you all.

xxxxxxxxxxxxx
This is so sad and my thoughts and prayers are with you and your daughter at this terrible time. xx
oh thats is so sad ..so very sorry to hear such bad news ..take care xx
That's so sad. You will unite in grief and support each other through this terrible time, my thoughts are with you all xx
Oh Boobies, I'm so sorry. I really had my fingers crossed for you and everything. My heart goes out to you and your daughter and all the rest of your family.

Me who usually has a one liner for everything has nothing to say, nothing I could say that will make this better for you though I wish I could. Just know you're in my thoughts.

You've got my contact details, if you just want to vent at someone entirely outside the family then please just do that. If you want to do the one liners, causing mischief thing we can do that too. It's not much but it's the best I can do.

Once again lovely, I'm so sorry. xx
BOO, I am so sorry to hear your daughters troubles have ended so tragically. I really was hoping those little boys would make it through ok.
I cant even begin to imagine how much pain you and are your daughter are feeling right now.

Some years ago, my friend lost her baby and had to go through a natural labour too. She said as heart breaking as it was, she took comfort from being able to have a proper funeral for her baby and be able to say goodbye.

You all have my deepest sympathies and I hope the pain starts easing for you all very soon xxx
BOO that is the sadest news, I'm just getting over oldgrapes, glad you came here to write, can you imagine what chatterbankers might have put. I know you will be of great support to your daughter but also remember that you need to be supported to through this so its nice you came on here, and as you said it has already helped. Will be 2 more angels in heaven. xx
B00, I am so, so sorry to read that news. I really don't know what to say apart from I will keep her in my thoughts. She is very lucky to have such a supportive mum as you and I am sure you are providing a huge comfort to her right now, no matter how hurt and frightened you are.

Oh, you have made me cry now, I wish I could take a little bit of the hurt away.

Thank you for posting and letting us know, it must have taken a lot of ourage for yout to do that X X X
