Hello all the beautiful women of this endo group!!

Firstly, thank you all so much for your continued support, it really has made a difference to me.

We finally have an answer as to what is happening... I am miscarrying. But I have not lost the pregnancy yet. God wonderfully blessed us with twins, and although we are so very sad that one of our babies did not survive, we are hoping that the second one will!

If my body continues to try and expel the baby we have lost, then the baby that is alive will also be lost. The placenta of the living baby is starting to be torn away with all the contractions.

So I will continue to pray that God allows this second baby to remain inside until it is developed. If the bleeding subsides and the contractions stop, there will be hope of continuing the pregnancy. We are booked in to emergency with the early pregnancy specialists again next week for another scan and hopefully some more information about what is happening.

It is still a very hard time, as we do not know if this baby will be able to survive. If it does, then things should be ok as it is developing well and has a good strong heartbeat. It all depends on whether the miscarriage is triggered to stop or not.

Thank you all for your kindness and words of support, Ruth xx

" There is nothing fine about losing a baby hun. It has not all worked out fine, far from it!! I understand you are trying to comfort me, but there really is no way that this can work out fine.

Thank you both for your responses, this situation is a very sad one. I thank God for blessing us with two beautiful babies, yet it is so hard to have lost one already. It does not help that there may be hope for the second, as we still lost our child.

I find comfort in the fact that regardless of this child never being born alive, the baby has returned to the Lord who created it. As David says in 2 Samuel (KJV) chapter 12 "I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me." This child has gone to be with God, and we will be united with every other Christain one day soon. "

" i know that. i meant hopefully the remainder of your pregnancy.. that it runs smoothly as it possibly can.
i actually wrote something else to begin with but i knew that you possibly would have seen that wrong aswell.. i was in awe that you had twins, but i knew that would not be taken well as one is lost. (now i only mention that bit what i had wrote as you also say that you saw it/see it as a blessing)... so i mean it in a very subtle way, definitely not excitement or anything. i am very conciencious ! and only trying to support with the best words i can...

" Thanks little moon :)
I believe we were very lucky to have carried twins, even if one cannot be born. God has blessed us for sure.
I think I must be a little more sensitive than I realised, and probably should of held off being on here for a few days :)
I see what yo were trying to say now, and you have always been supportive (as I hope I have been for you also).
I will let you all know how things go next week. Good news for now, the bleeding has eased a little. It has done this several times, but I am hoping this time it will stop for good!! xx "

" Thank you all so much!!

Definately no more children after this one, God has blessed us with three babies and blessed us further that two are still with us! How wonderful :)

My pregnancies are far to difficult to continue with, my husband and I have both agreed this will be our last one as it would not be fair to put the children through this again...

I have hope that God will let us birth this baby as a developed and healthy baby. Either way, He loves all my children more than I can imagine and He has plans for all of them! xx "
