I'm a little sad right now. My friend's wife is pregnant (she is five months along) and today, when she went to her doctor, he couldn't hear the baby's heartbeat. So, he sent her to make an ultrasound, and nobody knows exactly what happened yet. We were stunned by the news, and maybe it was just a mistake, I don't know, but it is horrible to think about what maybe happened, even though we know it is a possibility.
My mum lost a baby between my brother and my sister: she was five months along too. She says she remembers the date the baby would've been born every year. I don't remember much, I was still very young when it happened, but I remember when my mum got home to the hospital, and how sad my entire family was. I think I was about five years old, so I don't think I truly knew what all that meant, but I was a child and I understood sadness.
I really pray the baby is well, but at the same time, I know that when a doctor doesn't hear the heartbeat of a baby inside his mummy's belly, it is a very bad sign.
sadness,
work
