I have been depresed for a long time. Probably most of my life. I am married and recently became pregnant. This would have been my second baby and i was so excited. They told me she was a girl....Two girls for me Four girls for my husband. Then they told me There was something terribly wrong with my unborn. Test after test they finally figured out that my baby had Trisomy18. At 20 weeks she was not strong enough to hold on and i lost her.
I keep telling everyone that im ok but im not. I feel sad an empty. My husband doesnt understand how i feel and i feel like no one does. I lost my baby before i ever got to hold her. I understand that she would not have lived even if she had made it full term and that her life would have been very short if there was life at all when she was born. but im stuggling everyday to cope with my loss ad could really use some advice and support. I dont have any family that lives arond me and my mother and i are not close. My hsband tries but hes not the compassionate type of person.
I am taking an anti anxiety medication and it does help but i can still feel the emptyness inside
My heart goes out to you, am sorry for your great loss, you will find many here to relate to & talk with as you continue on this site.
All my strengths.

p.s. you give great advice that I read on the other posts.
Thank you i do hope to find some kind of support here. support for my loss and support and understandin for the life i have had.
Noone will ever be able to understand your loss. It's your loss more than anyone else's. So, you need to find anyone who will allow you to speak your feelings, as raw as they may be, and just listen to you. You deserve that, at the very least. I'm sorry for your loss. I know how depression can change your life. I'm here anytime.
I am so sorry about your loss. After 8 years of infertilty treatments I finally got pregnant and then lost my baby at 12 weeks. It has been 11 years and I still long for that baby. I have three adopted children now so It makes it easier But that baby was and is a part of you. You are not alone in your pain But you will find joy someday Just hang in there..
