“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,” says the Lord.
Jeremiah 1:5
I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. We are in a similar situation – twin boys, both diagnosed with IUGR, but one with severe at 21 weeks who died at 29w1d weighing 1 lb. The other is still with us at 32 weeks and weighing in at 3 1/2 lbs. The birth/stillbirth day will be very bittersweet. We will have a service once our surviving twin is strong enough to attend. Then, finally, I pray we will have some time to grieve (even tho my FMLA job protection will have expired by then due to bed rest now). I wish people were more supportive. We get comments like “that sucks, but I hope you guys are doing great!” We didn’t get a flat tire; our child died. I’m so sorry for your loss and, at the same time, glad to know there is someone else who understands. Blessings and peace to you and yours as you learn to move forward with your grief.
Susan your is the first story so similar to ours. We lost one of our twin boy @ 29 weeks also.
I am so sorry for you losses. I buried both my identical twin boys at 16 weeks 5 days gestation yesterday. Two perfectly formed tiny boys who were about 5 1/2 inches long the pain is unbareable, I’ve been trying to fin an artist who would recreate their little images together but with no luck I would love a picture to put on my wall for my other children and myself to look at. My prayers are with you all x
Michelle I will be your artist if u want. If u like what I did then you can pay me whatever you want.
