@Andrea: I’m so sorry that you had to go through that, but I really appreciate you sharing that with us. And you’re definitely right; humans are very resiliant creatures! Eric.

I just wanted to say that I too was one of those people who have had to endure the sheer terror of awaiting the results of a scan that you already deep-down know what the doctor is about to tell you.

Our daughter was stillborn and had passed away in the womb a week before her due date. It is the single hardest thing I have ever had to deal with in my life and I can completely empathise with you and your partner and the weeks of sorrow you have to deal with.

I too am continually amazed at the amount of people that come forwards with similar tales of sadness, but in all cases, such as your own the story ends very happily.

We have two more daughters now, 2 and 3, and those pregnancies have probably been the least enjoyable and most anxious times in our lives, but the end result is worth every minute!

Human beings are amazingly resilient creatures, I know this now :-)
