I suffered my first m/c on August 23rd, and I'm just now getting to the point where I can begin to move on. I've thought about how I want to honor my baby and the loss I've undergone. One woman told me she purchased an Angel pendant and named it Alex, after her unborn baby. I think I've decided to purchase a memorial box and place in it my pregnancy test (amazing that I would keep something I peed on, huh?) hospital band, discharge papers, pictures of my belly and of my partner and I, and eventually a letter I plan on writing to my baby--telling him all the things I wish I could have told him while he was still with me. Anyone else having done anything or plan on doing anything to help you with your loss?

Hey ChattyKathy,
I'm sorry for you loss, but it is good to hear that you are starting to be able to move on. Anyways, I just thought maybe you'd like to check out this web site. It has jewelry specially designed to help memorialize the baby you lost. Good luck.

Hi ChattyKathy! I'm so sorry to hear of your miscarriage. We lost our little boy at 21 weeks on June 29th. I also have a memorial box that has his little outfit, handprints, footprints, and blanket in it. I also put in my pregnancy journal that I started when I was 8 weeks and some pictures that the hospital took. I even have a picture of my two pregnancy tests. I know, how wierd. He was very small when he was born so the hospital said that cremation would equal about zero, so we didn't bury him. I also bought a memorial neckalce on the site Sarah is talking about. It has three charms, each with a different meaning and three crystals signifying conception month, month of death and the sex of that baby. They have all kinds of neat things on there. I wish you only better days.
