Hi Everyone. I just wrote yesterday about wanting advice on having twins. Thank you to all of you who wrote about advice and experiences. Unfortunately, my husband and I found out yesterday afternoon that one of our babies passed away. I know that this happens, but it still hard. Baby A is thriving well and even gave us the thumbs up during the ultrasound... a little tender mercy from Heaven. I guess I do not have any questions for you, but just wanted to get it off my chest to you. Probably some of you have experienced this same thing. It is nice to know that we are not alone.

I have an interesting tidbit to share with you....

I was that "Baby A" born to my mother and "Baby B" did NOT make it. After my parents shared the news with me many years later, I actually had a dream about being in utero and saying good-bye to my twin sister. I was so sad to be "alone" in the womb, but knew it was not my sister's time to be born.

My mother gave birth to another girl two years later. My sister and I always joke that she was my long lost twin who just wasn't ready to come to earth when I was. Of course, this is all just our surmising, but it is interesting to think about. Just a commentary I guess on how things always seem to work out for a reason, although we rarely know why at the time...

Best of luck with Baby A. You never know, perhaps Baby B is yet to come!

Not that this makes it easier but this happened to us with our last one. Our doctor called it the invisible twin. It happens quite often but often times people don't know that they have two until the second one has already been absorbed.
Hang in there, grieve as long as you need but rejoice too that you have one striving and healthy one.
You are not alone! Although I know it does not make it any easier.

So sorry for your loss! It's a heart wrenching thing, but you will get through it. (I lost 3 children to miscarriage - you'll never forget your baby.) Cling to each other and never let anyone tell you not to grieve! You and your thriving little one will be in my prayers. May God grant you peace!

oh i'm so sorry.
and no you are not alone in this pain.
my ex husband and i went thru 6 miscarriages, the last one with triplets. one did pass around week 9.. and they said the other two would absorbe the other matter and it wouldn't harm the other two.
it's a bitter sweet feeling i'm sure now for you, knowing one is lost but you want to feel happy for the life of the other one. it's ok to feel sad for the one and also it's ok to feel happy for the other one.. you won't be disrespecting the lost one by being happy.. :-)

Dear K.,
I am so sorry for your loss! I have no idea what you are feeling right now so I hope I don't overstep a boundary. You must have such mixed emotions. Don't feel guilty for grieving hard over your baby even though you are rejoicing over Baby A. I don't know if this something you would like to do but when my sister had a miscarriage she and her husband bought a "mother and child" necklace so that her baby could be close to her heart. I believe that your baby is in heaven but it is nice to have a tangible reminder of your baby. I think you can buy them at any jewelry store.
I pray for a safe pregnancy for you and lots of joy to come!

Dear K.,
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. My husband and I lost our first baby after only knowing we were pregnant for 3 days. Although we only knew for a very short time, it was still very difficult to deal with. Time does help, but you will never forget. Rely on each other and tell each other how you are feeling. Sometimes we keep our emotions all bottled up instead of dealing with them. I wish you all the best and remember all things happen for a reason! God Bless! XOXO K.
