The truth is that our hopes and dreams, love and yearning for a baby, our ’emotional investment’ can begin before we are even pregnant.
We’re so sorry that you’re going through this and understand that a little life is not a little loss. And when we lose that baby, it really hurts. We may grieve for our baby and the loss of the future we may have planned, an entire life that should have been.
There is no sliding scale of grief, we only know that your baby was real and your grief is valid and real. And we at Philip’s Footprints acknowledge that grief.
Whether you are ‘watching and waiting’ or being treated for an ectopic pregnancy that sad truth is that you will lose your baby and you may be worried about a risk to your fallopian tube.
