All my life when seeing the acronym D&C I have always changed it in my mind to "Doctrine & Covenants". Now my mind does not do that any more. When I am reading something and I see D&C, even though I know it is referring to a scripture my mind automatically goes to remembering my precious baby.
It was my choice to have an immediate D&C done. I could not imagine the pain of waiting for the baby to pass through my body. A D&C is not for everyone but I am grateful that I had that option. I am also grateful for the OB who did the surgery rubbing my hand and holding it while I went to sleep. It was very sweet of her and it helped.
I will never forget my little angel.

I'm so sorry Margaret that you are having to go through this. My heart goes out to you and I pray that you and your family will be blessed with peace and comfort.
when we lost our baby on november 5, 1998, someone gave
me a card with this poem and it has meant more to me that anything. so i
thought i would share it. the scripture on the front is Job 1:21 and inside
it says:
" I was thinking abut what's ahead for the baby. Can you imagine-it will be
taking its first steps on the streets of Heaven! Hannah was a mother who
certainly knows how special a little baby is. Perhaps she'll be the one who
will let it hold her finger as it takes those first staggering steps; and
maybe she will be the one to coax it into taking it first steps alone!
Perhaps Dorcas will see to it that its hems get let out, and that the
buttons are sewn on that growing child. And Joshua! Just think what it would
be like for a child to climb into his lap and hear-first hand- about the
battle of jericho!..
Maybe Petrer will take it fishing someday! It will never fall out of tree or
breaks it's leg, for there is no pain or tears there! It won;t be afraid of
the dark for there is no darkness there. The King of Kings, the Lord of
Lords, he is the very one who said, "let the little children come to me." I
expect there will be many a time when he himself will take that baby in his
lap and let it know a love that makes all other loves seem puny by contrast.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Heavenly Father keeps a few lollipops handy
for just such occasions....
And one day, you will be greeted with a " Hi Dad and Mom! I've got some of
the neatest things to show you; and some really fantastic people i can't
wait for you to meet."
((hugs)) I lost my baby on June 4, 2007. My heart goes out to you and my thoughts are with you.
