A lady who has recently suffered an ectopic pregnancy has shared her poem with us and asked us to post on her behalf. We hope that the words can offer some comfort. x
Sometimes thinks don’t work and we don’t know why,
Our little angel, another star in the sky.
We only knew you for a very short time,
But no matter what happens you will always be mine.
You would have been a brother or sister, someone else for us to love,
But now we have both our children up in the skies above.
Every time I think about you I look down at my scars,
But I have to remember you are now the brightest stars.
5 and a half years together, 2 children that haven’t graced the earth,
I was genuinely dying to hold our child on my chest after their birth.
We got excited and planned out the scenes,
Imagining having you home and full of beans.
Maybe karma paid us a visit, for what we did in 2013,
The pain it caused then and now we could never have seen.
I’m going to try be positive and think ‘it wasn’t meant to be’,
But sitting here I’m thinking why does it have to be me?
I’m worried about the next time we fall pregnant with another,
Will you meet in heaven another baby sister or brother?
I’m stressed out and in pain, from surgery and from my heart,
This wasn’t the way we planned our new year to start.
I love you uncontrollably and will forever more,
Please be there waiting for me for me to come knocking on heavens door.
