I don't understand. 7 Months ago I was happy. I was pregnant with my daughter and I was with the love of my life. I was going to school for nursing. I had the best group of friends. I was 20 years old and I had everything I could have ever wanted. Now 7 months later I'm 21 years old and heart broken. The man I wanted to marry doesn't understand my pain. None of my friends get where I'm coming from. My daughter is dead and I don't have the motivation for school. Sometimes I wish I could go back. Not get pregnant. But then I hate myself because I love my daughter with my whole heart... But I'm just so broken by her death. I just feel like I have no one to relate to because I'm so young. I feel like I got cheated... What 20 year old should have to go through this kind of stuff? It's like life is a cruel sick joke.

Thanks for the advice. I just can't wait to feel normal again... I mean I'm 21 now... All I want to do is go out with my friends and have a drink and relax. Then the little voice yells at me saying I shouldn't be out having fun. I'm supposed to be a mom now. not out partying.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
