So, so sorry to hear this.
It happened to us in 2001, 7 months into the pregnancy we found out James had died in the womb.

Mattee - you obviously know what has to happen so I won't go into it.
Anyway, we felt so desolate and our hearts really did ache, especially after having a cuddle with him and then handing him back to the midwife, so awful.

After many problems and very dark times we now have two wonderful kids and I hope you will too, very soon.

I still talk to James occasionly and will never ever forget him, I think of him as my kids Guardian Angel.

Anyway, mate, God Bless to the both of you and be strong for each other.
I'll be thinking of you on the 17th as it's my boy Freddy's 2nd birthday.

There but for the Grace of God.....

zip.

Me too. My wife miscarried 5 times and nearly died once from blood loss.

We waited a few years and tried again. My older son is now 16 and taller than me.

Words cannot explain your feelings right now

Don`t be afraid to show your emotions, its only human to cry.

Don`t know what to say. . . . . . . . .

Please Accept Our Sincere Condolences.

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awake in morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there...

I'm totally stunned! I am sorry but I have nothing useful to say at all, the right words simply fail me.

As you know the Missus is due in a few weeks now, she is gutted for you too.

So sorry to hear this, it makes me really sad to read stories like this because it truely is awful..

Mine and Gav's close friends lost there baby at 7 months not long ago, he was a boy, fully grown and he was beautiful, he was called Matthew, she had to give birth to him and it was just awful and we know that they've been through hell and back the last couple of month's but are slowly trying to piece there lives back together, its a terrible loss to lose a child, again, really sorry to hear this..

With them being such close friends its been terrible to see them going through what they have and you're right, it does put life into perspective!!

really sorry to hear that.
I know what it's like to come close, and even that makes life's little dramas pale into insignificance.

Best wishes to you and the wife

Having seen the thread title, I was praying the thread wasn't going to be about this subject.

Matt, I don't know what to say, and I don't mind admitting that I have tears in my eyes reading through this.

We almost went through the same thing twice. The fact I am a father myself really brings home something like this, and it makes me feel bad for the times my son doesn't sleep and I am grumpy with him.

My deepest and sincerest thoughts go to you and your wife, please pass on our best, and I hope Joseph is in a better place now, surfing on the white waves somewhere.

Stay happy.

Been through a similair thing 3 years ago, 7 months in my wife lost our son.

Going through with the birth knowing that you wont be taking the baby home is unbelievable, my wife like yours was so good and strong throughout.

One thing to remember even when you feel at your lowest ebb is that 'Time will heal the hurt' you will never forget him but you will eventually learn to live with the loss.

We tried virtually straight away for another and now have a 2 year old son who helped the wife and myself no end get over the loss.

He arrived at 7 months too, small but perfect and is now the liveliest and at times annoying but above all, the most loveable thing you will ever meet.

Good luck to the both of you.

Ian
