Coping with the devastating loss of your baby

We're so very sorry for your loss. Only people who have lost a baby will understand just how devastating the loss is

This article has been written by women who all have lost a child. Their hope is that by sharing their thoughts, they can help you with the coming days, with the things that others may not know and the things they've never even had to consider.

When you're ready, support is out there. The women in this article met and support each other via iVillage's Late Loss & Neonatal Death message board.

Please remember that, where your baby is concerned, anything that you want to do is okay. Anything that you don't want to do is also okay.

This might be different to your partner, but that doesn't matter, there's no right or wrong. You are your baby's parents and only you know what is best for you and your baby. Go with your feelings, follow your instincts, this is your baby and this time together is so special.

There's a lot to take in when your baby dies. You're in shock so the important information is in bold. If you can only read snippets, just read the bold bits. Anything else can wait. You can always come back to read more later.

We've thought of many things here, the special things we did, the things we didn't do which we now wish we had. We hope that this article can help to make your special time with your baby just that bit more precious.
