In a few hours I am off to the hospital to deliver my baby at 16 weeks! I have had a miscarriage before, but had a D&C since that one was at 10 weeks. I don't know how to get through this one and I need strength to make the right decision today. My first reaction was that I did not want to see the baby or know what sex it is, but now I am torn with guilt towards the baby.
I have two healthy children and I owe it to them to be able to move on after this and I don't know if that will be harder when I see he baby?

My prayers are with you. I regret not seeing and holding my babies. Its my biggest regret and something I can't get out of my mind. I would suggest maybe taking a picture even. Greif councelors would tell you that you need to see them to greive properally.

Remember this: We must accept finite disappointment, but we must NEVER lose infinite HOPE. MLK, Jr. Said this.

I delivered at 15 weeks and was unable to see or hold my babies due to being sick. I wish I would have been able to do that but it wasn't in the cards for me. I do have pictures. Do what you think is best and remember you have every right to grieve!! Regardless of how many healthy children you have.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
