What Ifs
Two faint lines,
A few days late.
Excitement is an understatement,
Couldn't wait to save the date.
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.
Two faint lines,

I 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...

I 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.
I am sorry for her loss. Yes, I do hope this helped!
At 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.

I never saw your twinkling eyes
Or touched your precious feet.
I never shared a tiny yawn
Or rocked you fast asleep.
This 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...
My body is still birthing,
But nothing is to show.
The little life that was to be
Left my body days ago.
I'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...
As 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.

We 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.
I will never get to hold you,
To keep you warm and safe.
Never see your eyes twinkle,
My boyfriend and I also had a miscarriage about 6 months ago and I am still in pain over our loss. I am 15 as well, and so reading this poem touched me very dearly. This poem is beautiful and...
My baby's in heaven,
but that's okay.
There she'll be safe
every second of every single day.
What we call miscarriage,
Is hard to understand,
but God calls special babies
back with Him in Heaven's land.
