I'm so sorry, but as one who's been there myself .... and I hope it doesn't sound too awful, but I'm glad that part is over for you. To be honest, I found that horrible time when I knew my baby was dead, much harder to bear than the actual D&C.

Oh yes I cried. I sobbed my heart out to know there was no possible chance that the doctors had made a mistake, but I guess deep down in my heart I knew the truth. It was just so hard to acknowledge that I wasn't going to ever hold that child.

I love the name that you chose. One of my favourite aunt's name was Marjorie, and her daughter (my cousin) and I are really good friends. We talk on the phone most days, and spend heaps of time together.

I'm also pleased to hear that your partner was supportive in your time of need. I kept hoping he'd be there for you.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you're doing. It does get better, I promise! It doesn't happen quickly, but it will happen.
