hi coral,
it was most unfortunate that such a rare thing will happen to you and your baby. i know, it must have hurt you so much to know that Kaden was actually suffering inside you without you knowing... but the good thing is that at least he is no longer in pain now..
and take heart that it is sporadic and lightning will most likely not strike the same spot twice..
same for me, although i didn't do a post mortem, i think it was due to a cold that i caught when i went taiwan for a business trip right after my first trimester.
well.. we just have to take this as a costly lesson learnt. let's ground ourselves the next time we get pregnant, keep away from crowd and really exercise lots of caution. that's what i tell myself, won't take things for granted anymore..
and now that you know what is the real reason, i hope this will help you close this unhappy chapter and move on. at least you know God is gracious to let everything happen the way it did. can you imagine how things would be if Kayden is born into this world with internal bleeding and had to suffer a lot more pain? that's what i always tell myself. things happen for a reason. I may not know why but one day when i meet my baby girl in heaven, i will know that God is gracious afterall.
Wendy, yup, no point dwelling in self pity, and yes, i believe we all will be mothers of beautiful children some day. for now, we just have to hang on to this hope and move on. your girl is 6 already? wow.. that's fast..
you be strong too, one day your girl will have a beautiful brother/sister to play with her.
lala, personally i dun believe that pregnant lady cannot attend wake/wedding/visit someone who has given birth. but i believe in staying away from crowd or hospital that may have virus and harm the foetus! that's more scientific.. heheee.
