“We were told things weren’t looking good…”

18 Feb “We were told things weren’t looking good…”

Janine contacted us with the story of her miscarriage during Baby Loss Awareness Week…

“We had been trying for a baby for 6 months so when I finally got a positive pregnancy test we were over the moon.
I got to 9 weeks pregnant and went for an early scan we couldn’t wait to see our baby for the first time.

We were told, however, that things weren’t looking good- the baby had stopped growing at 6 weeks and they told me that I had a missed miscarriage.

I had to have medication to encourage the miscarriage as my body didn’t do it itself and it was the worst and most heartbreaking thing that I have ever been through, all of my pregnancy symptoms had gone and I just felt so empty and heartbroken.

We will never forget our Jellybean and I will always wonder what could have been.”
