Thank you for posting. It brought back a lot of feelings.
Seeing the motionless baby on the ultrasound still haunts me to this day. And like her, I go day by day in this pregnancy relating it to my last asking myself "what could I have done differently". I remember feeling like I had no right to be upset since I already had 3 healthy children. I felt like I was grieving wrong. And even though I was told many times over it was not my fault, I still questioned everything.
This pregnancy is so different than any other. I feel so blessed but at the same time I'm not counting my lucky stars until he is safely in my arms.

quinn, loss ultrasounds are the worst. They certainly stick with you. I was "lucky" that for each of mine, I'd had cramping and bleeding and knew bad news was coming. It was still so hard to no longer see a heartbeat, though. It's got to be so much worse to be completely blindsided by one of those u/s.

That image will forever be engraved in my mind. Even if you expect it, it is so difficult. |

That hit in me in the feels. I really like this piece, thank you for posting it.
I'm sorry to those of you who had to see your loss on ultrasound. I hemorrhaged before I made it to my dating ultrasound. I can only imagine how much more magnified the pain must be to see a heartbeat first. Love all around to those who need it.
