Wife went into labour at 22weeks last night. Our little girl was with us for a few minutes. Totally numb. Lost one last September.

Read that several times hoping I had read it wrong. I am sure you are feeling something similar only a billion times worse. 🙁

Feeling for you both.

It's hard to stay positive at times like these, and no words can soften the blow, but there can be hope.

We went through the same 3 times - and it stretched us to breaking point. But eventually went on to have a healthy daughter who is now 12, and those times seem a long way behind us. Never forgotten, but a distant memory.

That's horrible - having gone through it more than once (but 10 weeks earlier) I really feel for you. Try and be there for each other and accept that it's going to take a while to (partially) get over it but know that it will be with you for the rest of your life.

As above though, it's not the end though and there's every hope.

Truly cant even imagine how yur feeling nor what words are even suitable, really feel for you and your family. Stay strong though, my best friend went through this twice and then the miracle happened and they are over the moon.....i know that means very little but dont give up.
Take care.

Our little girl was with us for a few minutes

Then you are a father and your wife is a mother and you always will be. I expect you were a much better father for those few minutes than I've ever managed as well. And if you have more children in the future then you'll not waste a minute of it as so many of us do. And if you don't you'll never forget those you did have even though it was for such a short time.

Sympathies with you and Mrs JonBoy. Be strong by all means but let yourself grieve. I had a colleague who had this happen to him and his wife on a few occasions. Now they have two lovely kids so the can be light at the end of this particular, dark tunnel.

As others say, take care.

That's a crap hand to be dealt. My thoughts are with you. We had a couple of miscarriages before going on to have 3 kids without any dramas at all in the pregnancies. And very little the docs can/want to do as unless you've had a string of incidents it's relatively normal, despite the dreadfulness of it all. Hugs.

So sorry to hear your devastating news. Hold your wife close and look after each other. Your beautiful daughter will forever be a part of your family.

I know there are no words at this time which will make things better.

I lost my first son shortly after he was born at 41.5 weeks. It was 6 years ago and not a day goes by without thinking of him and I carry him with me always.

email me if you feel you want to.

That's stopped me in my tracks. Love going out to you and your wife JonBoy and to Merak.

My wife was in hospital a couple of years ago (rather earlier than 22 weeks - molar pregnancy), and we met a woman who had lost two in similar circumstances and who had then gone on to have a healthy girl. I read the entries she and her husband wrote in the "condolences" book in the lobby of the maternity unit about her first two. Heartbreaking.

Be brave, and reach out to all of us if you need help. And make sure the healthcare services look after both of you.

JonBoy, I share you pain.

My wife and I have lost two in a similar situation, our first at 20 weeks (on the day of our 20 week scan) and our second at 21 weeks following an emergency suture at week 20 and a massive infection. We buried her 9 months to the day after we buried our first.

It's a terrible, terrible thing to have to go through for both of you. If you want to talk, please get in touch.

Not sure what you mean by that Earl but believe me, that comment is neither helpful nor true. edit [though i'm sure the intent was good].

Jonboy, be prepared for some difficult discussions and choices you'll have to make in the next day or so, don't rush in to anything and don't let the staff steer you in a direction you don't want to go. You'll know what I mean.

I realise looking at this thread that we haven't properly dealt with things 5 months on and it really is important to manage everything the way you want to. Take what counselling the hospital offer too, it really can help you get your head straight.

There are obviously no words that can make this any better.

As a father, I can just about imagine how you feel.

Remember that as strong as you want to be for your wife and girls to make sure that you're coping okay.

Realy so sorry to hear that, my thoughts are with you. Can only say that for me it was devastating, it happened to us a few times before our little miracle arrived . . . . he's 18 months and a real blessing. It has happened since as well, but eventually I hope time will heal your loss. It did for us.

Have only a small idea how awful this must be. We have two kids from four pregnancies, but have been luckier than many.

Look after each other, and ask for help if you need it. The father can get overlooked among all the emotions.
