I drove to my doctor’s office and chatted with the nurse while she slid an ultrasound transducer along the jutting camel’s hump of my belly. Then there was the doctor: You can see here, he said, pointing, the fetus is demised. [...] [...] Two years ago today, I left work around noon. I didn’t know it, but it was my last day.

I'm so sorry for Ames, and pulling for Simone. this exact same loss happened to a friend of mine, but the loss of one baby of triplets. The two brothers arrived just fine at 37 weeks. Having given birth at 28 weeks myself, I always felt a bit peeved at people who would chirp, "My brother's wife's cousin only weighed two pounds too and they kept him in a shoebox in the oven and now he's a 250-pound kickboxer! YOU'LL BE FINE!" So by telling you my friend's story I just realized I've just done the same thing... but now I know why. Just trying to counter the worry, to displace at least a fraction of the worry with a tiny bit of hope. xo Alexa, I found you through nonhipster mom… we went through the loss of a twin six months ago.

I know I can’t do anything from Australia but pray for Simone. My heart breaks for you because I too found out by u/s that my daughter died - we waited 12 yrs for her. It is so unfair.
