Currently in L&D due to preterm labor

I just happened to log in here after a long while being away, and saw NBP's inquiry about me and the twins. I'm sorry I've been away for so long. The short story is yes, I was successful in keeping the babies in for several more weeks. Thank you all so much for all of your replies to this post, as well as your thoughts and prayers during that time.

However, the story gets more complicated from there. Again, I'm just posting a shortened version from my phone tonight, but I'm hoping to share the twins' full birth story eventually. I was able to carry them until 37 weeks. I delivered them vaginally, my baby girl first, and then my baby boy. Our daughter was born healthy and beautiful at 6 lbs 11 oz. However, our son was stillborn. He weighed 5 lbs 8 oz, and was just perfect in every way.

I am taking this very hard. It's been such an overwhelmingly emotional time for me and my family. Our children, even being so young, are also grieving. They understood that they were getting a little brother and a little sister, but now, only their sister is here.

I have to say though, that there still is joy in this story. We've been blessed with a beautiful baby girl, and for that we are so grateful. Our boys adore her, and my husband and I are totally in love with her. Our hearts are just hurting so much over the loss of our precious baby boy.

Sweatpea, I was so excited to see an update from you, and I'm so so sorry that you've lost your baby boy. I can partly relate to what you're going through and hate the suffering I know you are facing. Please take your time to grieve and remember that little boy each time you look at your daughter, and always remind her she had a brother.

PM me if you'd like to talk. Please look after yourself xxx

Oh no i am so so sorry things turned out like that. I have thought about you often but really hoped that no news was good news. I don't even know what to say other than how very sorry for you i am, loosing a baby at any stage is awful but at term just seems beyond cruel. I hope if nothing else they find some answers for you as to why this happened so you can at least find a little peace there.

The sweet part to this horrible tale is that fortunately one of your babies is well and you have been sent the little girl you always dreamed of, huge congratulations on her. It so awful that this happy moment should be marred by such tragedy though. I hope you have plenty of supportive people around you in this difficult time x

Oh sweetpea, I can not believe this. I'm so so sorry you lost your son. I'm actually in tears for you and I don't even know you (I have been following your story though). When I had just lost my daughter, I met a mother online who also had twins, two boys. One of them died during labour. The heartache and the joy, so close together. Being proud of both your babies, but only being able to hold one of them close. And having to leave the other one behind. It's truly heartbreaking, such a complicated loss and grief process. I want to congratulate you on the birth of both your babies, your daughter and your son. They have made you a proud mommy again. I wish you and your family all the love and support, so so sorry you have to go on without your little man.
