Miscarriage Poems
Poems about Pregnancy Loss
One of life's most painful losses is that of an unborn child. Miscarriages cause a pain that is unfamiliar to most and understood by few. Parents feel a strong and natural love for their unborn child and to lose their little one to death before they ever had a chance at life can seem unfair, cruel even. Parents are left to wonder what might have been and a pair of empty arms can seem emptier than ever before. Faced with such a terrible situation parents should remember that it is normal, necessary, and healthy to grieve.

1. What Ifs
Poem About Loss Of Twin PregnancyTwo faint lines,
A few days late.
Excitement is an understatement,
Couldn't wait to save the date.
A new little life
Growing inside of me.
The mind began to wonder
With all possibilities.
A true gift from God,
A blessing from above.
Mummy and Daddy smiled.
You'd be safe with all our love.
My tummy kept on growing,
I was convinced there was maybe two,
But either way, I didn't mind;
I just couldn't wait to meet you.
So we booked an early scan
To see out little bean,
But you were smaller than expected.
No heartbeat could be seen.
We cried and rang the doctors,
Who booked another scan.
They confirmed that there were two of you,
But things weren't going according to plan.
Twin babies in the womb,
One bigger than the other.
Still no heartbeats seen on the screen,
Devastated, lost and lonely mother.
We were told to wait a week
To see if you both progressed,
So patiently we waited,
Truly putting faith to the test.
Of course we prayed to God
To breathe these babies life.
A full week went past in hope.
The next scan revealed more strife.
Both sleeping in the same sac,
Unfortunately neither of you had grown.
But Mummy's body showed no signs.
She never would have known.
A missed miscarriage they say,
An abortion of the womb,
But nothing takes away what's happened,
Our babies gone too soon.
So I cry and weep in sorrow,
Think about what could have been.
So blessed to carry both of you,
Problems couldn't have been foreseen.
For now I grieve in silence.
At night I cry with pain.
You're gone but not forgotten.
My heart will never be the same.
Thank you for choosing us.
We loved your presence within me,
You'll always be our favourite "what ifs."
Love always, Mummy and Daddy.Latest Shared StoryI feel your pain. For 20 weeks I carried my baby, I was over the danger period to have a miscarriage. I was so excited to be having my first scan, and to see you for the first time. The scan...

2. A Mother's Goodbye
Sadness And Healing After Loss Of An Unborn BabyI only had you for a little while.
I was never able to see your smiles,
Yet I thank God for the little time we had,
Even though when you left, I was sad.
You were so precious and small, little ones.
I wouldn't have cared if you were daughters or sons.
I held you within my womb, though not for long.
I was so happy to be your mom.
But God was ready for you to go,
Even though I wanted to see you so.
You died, little ones, within my womb,
And your enclosures of life became a tomb.
I was never able to name you.
I was never able to hold you.
I was never able to feel you breathe.
I was never able to give you the love you need.
I was never able to say goodbye.
Just thinking about it makes me cry,
But you are still a part of our family,
And we all love you; siblings, daddy and me.
I await the day when I shall see you again,
When my life ends, and the others sing requiem.
I pray I'll be in heaven, and there I'll come see you,
Where you, my little angels, play under skies so blue. -
3. I'm Waiting For You
Difficulty After A MiscarriageAt one time, I thought you were near,
A feeling so abundantly strong and clear.
Inside me you grew and grew,
I was impatient waiting for you.
With my hand on my stomach, I'd feel our connection.
Every moment of my day, you had my attention.
In me was a pride I never knew.
My love had no bounds, waiting for you.
You stole my heart before we even met,
Though you were my reason to fret.
You were my dream I never thought would come true,
You were my every smile while I was waited for you.
I couldn't wait to hear your heartbeat,
My little almond, you were so sweet.
But when the time came, it was a reality I couldn't chew.
They told me I was no longer waiting for you.
I said goodbye the best I could.
You were gone from me, for good.
My body felt empty, my heart felt blue.
I only wanted to keep waiting for you.
I want to move on with my life,
To say it's okay to just be a wife.
But a mother I want to be, too.
That is why I'll keep waiting for you.
I love you, my baby,
And I know our future isn't just a maybe.
So you need to know the thing most true,
That forever I'm waiting for you. -
4. For My Little One
Although We Never MetI never saw your twinkling eyes
Or touched your precious feet.
I never shared a tiny yawn
Or rocked you fast asleep.
I never kissed your tiny hands
Or saw your little smile.
I never held you in my arms,
But I held you for a while.
Although I never saw your face
Or heard your precious laughter,
You're still my child whom I love
And will forever after.Latest Shared StoryThis poem is everything I've been thinking but unable to say. I was a young mother. I'm 16 and I lost my baby. When I started bleeding they told me everything was fine. They told me my baby...

5. Still
Grief And Pain After A MiscarriageMy body is still birthing,
But nothing is to show.
The little life that was to be
Left my body days ago.
My body is still bleeding
Like a casualty took place,
And I mourn the ever-lingering loss
As I imagine a what-if face.
My body is still weeping
Even if no tears are cried.
Despite the plastered grit and grin,
My pain feels impossible to hide.
My body is still broken,
At least that's what I perceive.
What should have been your safest place,
Instead leaves me to grieve.
My body is still aching,
Shuddering, and unkind,
Leaving in place of your still life-
A heartbreak for the rest of mine.Latest Shared StoryI've had 2 miscarriages...one at 8 weeks and one at 12. I'm still grieving. I agree, it is a very lonely process. It's been 2 years since my first one. The pain subsides but never fully goes...

6. Our Precious Baby
Poem About The Loss Of An Unborn BabyAs you lied so helpless in the womb,
We patiently awaited your day of bloom.
A boy, a girl, we had not a clue,
We'd love no matter what, and this we knew.
Blankets and booties were chosen with care.
We dreamed the day we'd have you to share.
Anxious to hear your first little cry
And feel the breath of your peaceful sigh.
To watch your eyes discover new sights,
To cuddle you close on sleepless nights.
Why, our Baby, did God change our plan?
Only He and you will understand.
The emptiness here has left us numb.
The sound of your cry will never come.
Never to hold your tiny hands,
Never to watch you try to stand.
Silently we packaged all your stuff,
The tears we shed were far from enough.
To most, your existence soon will fade,
But forever, to us, you'll be OUR BABE.

7. Angel In Heaven
We Never Got To Meet YouWe were so excited to meet you
And be a family of four.
You were to be our second baby,
Who we would cherish and adore.
But you were taken from us,
Your heartbeat was no longer there.
Our hearts are forever broken,
Because this life can be so cruel and unfair.
Our arms never wrapped around you.
Our eyes never met hello.
We never got the chance to meet you;
Our hearts feel so empty and so low.
But forever in our hearts you will be.
We will long for your cuddle and touch.
Always remember, our sweet Angel,
Mummy and Daddy will always love you so much.

9. My Baby In Heaven
My baby's in heaven,
but that's okay.
There she'll be safe
every second of every single day.
She'll never ever scream
or ever have a scary dream.
She'll be surrounded by love,
and that's all my baby needs.
She'll never hurt, never cry
and never have to say goodbye.
And baby, I promise you
that the day that I die
I will come up to meet you
and I will never leave your side. -
10. Miscarriage
Sympathy Poem For MiscarriageWhat we call miscarriage,
Is hard to understand,
but God calls special babies
back with Him in Heaven's land.
He doesn't need to test them.
These angels are too pure.
The trials of this earth
are not theirs to endure.
But as all of God's children,
they need a family too,
An angel dwelt inside your womb
because this child chose you.
A loving son or daughter
will be in your arms one day.
One whose love surrounds you
Heaven's not that far away.
Trust in God, our Father
and always remember this,
everything has purpose.
and with Him there is no "mis." -
11. The Missing Piece
Pain Of A Lost PregnancyYour first Christmas came without you.
You're the unopened secret screams.
We carry you in our broken hearts all day
And unwrap you in our dreams.
I see you in every bulging belly,
In every mother's thoughtless kiss.
I see you in empty baby shoes.
I see you in that, I see you in this.
You're in every "why can't that be me?"
And the tears hidden in my car.
You're the missing piece of every minute
...I wonder where you are.
You were here before you weren't.
There was a future with you in it.
Now you're the broken parts of us
And the missing piece of every minute. -
12. All I Can Think Of
Poem About Thinking Of What Could Have BeenWhy when you can't have something, is it all you can think of?
The mothers to-be with bumps,
Babies in prams,
Toddlers with their smiles and tantrums,
Young children you can at last reason with,
Proud parents beaming at each other - look; we made that!
And me?
No bump. Not anymore.
Maybe never. Hopefully someday.
The hint of one. Twice now but never fulfilled.
Hopes and dreams stopped in their tracks;
No pram or crib buying for us,
No touching of a bump or the inquisitive questions;
When are you due? How do you feel? Boy or girl?
Empty. Lost. Alone. Sad.
Sympathetic friends and family.
No words can be found.
I understand. I wouldn't have known either.
How can you grieve something that never was?
No breath. No sound. No presence.
I grieve the possibility.
The what could have been and what wasn't.
A son? A daughter? Who knows?
My child.
Those smiling parents don't mean to hurt.
What have they gone through to get there?
I hope not much.
A physical pain wouldn't hurt as much as this.
So I smile at them, say the right things,
Coo over their newborns and laugh at their toddlers' antics.
I buy the baby gifts for the mum-to-be friends,
Ask all the questions I long to be asked.
They smile in return;
But sadly.
Nothing anyone can say.
I and so many others carry the weight around with us.
Will it happen again?
The hope followed by the deep disappointment?
Will I ever be a mother?
I'd be a good mother.
Will I make my partner a father?
He'd be a good father.
All I want.
All I can think of.Latest Shared StoryI lost my first child on Sunday by a miscarriage! I cry and cry but I don't seem to be getting anywhere. At first I was scared to tell my boyfriend but then I suddenly realized it wasn't just...

13. You Have Left Me Hopeless
As the 18th approaches my heart feels a little heavier
I feel energy-less, the thought of you leaves me breathless
I often reminisce about how my life would have been with you, my angel
Was I gonna be a cool mom?
Would you have liked everything I had hoped for you?
Would you be as jolly as I am?
Would you smile as he does?
All these questions are busy eating my soul alive
How is it that at just barely a few days old you have impacted my life the way you have?
Loosing you has sucked the happiness right out of my life,
All I have left is the feeling of guilt, sadness and depression
I never thought it was possible to love another human being like the way I love you
I try with all my might to think about you, but it only makes things worse
You have left a huge place in my heart whereby no one can ever fill
You brought so much happiness into my life
Now that you're gone I feel empty and alive with no particular reason

14. My Little Angel
Losing A Baby Isn't EasyI never got to hold you,
Or kiss your little head,
Or watch you sleeping soundly
All snuggled in your bed.
I can't count your tiny fingers
Or your even smaller toes.
I won't see your smile
Or your cute little button nose.
You're gone too soon - we don't even know
If you're a girl or boy.
Our hearts are filled with sorrow
When they should be full of joy.
I know you are in heaven,
Where there is no pain or tears.
You'll never get hurt or sick.
In heaven there are no fears.
And though I'm sad you're not here right now
For us to hold today,
I know we'll hold you in our arms
When we're in heaven with you someday.Latest Shared StoryCole was a full-term baby. He died hours after birth. We held him for hours, passing him around. We knew he wouldn't live long, so we talked to him, telling him how much we loved him. After 4...

We don't want to cry anymore,
But the pain won't go away.
Our hearts are torn in two
Because our baby couldn't stay.
We don't want to cry anymore.
God had other plans for you.
Mommy and Daddy will get through this someday,

17. Long To See Your Sweet Face
Two pink lines, we knew it was true,
Sooner than later we would meet you.
I yelled for your Daddy and smiled just so.
He stood there in shock and a glorious glow.
We made lots of phone calls and shared our great news.
I had lots of symptoms and even some clues.
Then one day as I was taking out the trash,
Something came over me and I knew in a flash
Everything was wrong and I prayed it wasn't so,
So I called up your Daddy and said we must go
To the hospital to check on your stats.
Waiting so patiently for the results to come back,
We were told the bleeding was normal, you were just fine.
Worrying uncontrollably because you were mine,
Waiting for the doctor seemed to take forever.
I guess she just thought she was being so clever.
Up on the screen we could see your silhouette.
The doctor made a grave face, and I said no, not yet.
"There is no heartbeat," are the words we dreaded most.
The tears started to fall and I felt like a ghost.
I wanted to run, and I wanted to hide.
I wanted you there standing at my side.
I long now to hold you and hear your soft cries,
Play with your belly and hear your faint sighs.
Never will I have the chance to kiss your sweet lips,
Wrap your sweet legs around my soft hips.
I know you are in Heaven and safe you will always be,
But oh, I long to touch the baby I will never see.Latest Shared StoryI fell pregnant in 2012. I had the two lines come up on the test. I was excited but my partner (now ex) wasn't. He said he would throw me down stairs to make sure the baby doesn't survive. I...

19. I'll Remember You
Would you wear pink or would you wear blue?
I'll never know
or hear your sweet coo
or see those tiny little fingers,
how the thoughts of you just linger.
Does the pain ever end?
Where do I begin to mend
this broken heart
from the all pain it has felt?
All I can ask is why?

So quickly you came into our lives,
So quickly torn away.
Never got the chance to meet you.
