I'm not big believer in these type of threads, but I really do understand your loss...we lost our first baby about 2 years ago, and my wife is 28 weeks into carrying twins on our second successful attempt...just be there for each other and I'm sure you'll both be stronger because of it

I am so sorry to hear this Seagoon.  
You and you wife have my condolences.

My youngest just turned 8 months today.  My wife’s water broke at 25 weeks and the odds of having a healthy child were dismal.  My wife was in the hospital, drugged up on “don’t come now” meds for a month.  I spent a month worrying myself sick and reading about all the ways that an early delivery can go bad.  Now, our daughter is healthy and developmentally fine, against all odds.  Without modern medicine, my wife would have died too.  I now find myself sweating out other family’s pregnancies like I never did before.  I’ve always appreciated children (I’m a teacher after all), but now I marvel them in a new light.  

It’s really too bad that such good people like yourself and your wife aren’t exempt from natural tragedies.  Childbirth is always such a crapshoot.

Goon,

We don't know each other, but please accept condolences and sympathies from me and mine.  I can barely imagine the suffering and grief.  But, I do firmly believe that the little souls merely changed their mind on the timing, and will most assuredly be back to you soon.

FWIW, I am most sincerely sorry for your loss.

Respectfully...HilDvl

Hi All,

Just got back from the hospital today, and had my first chance to read through the thread and some of the PMs I received. I want to thank you all very much for your condolences, support, and advice. The past three days were simply awful in so many senses, including one point when my wife passed out from blood loss, collapsed, and stopped breathing for a few seconds. The nurse actually hit the code button, and suddenly the entire hospital was in our room. Guiness doesn't actually list things like this, but I may have set the record for the fastest coherent prayer every prayed. Someday, I might share more, but I'm a little on the exhausted side at this point.

We have been blessed not only by the internet response, but in that we have so many members in our congregation who have been helping us to bear this particular burden. Literally, for the past three days, I didn't once have to worry about our three children. This has been a time of leaning heavily on grace for us. As I shared with someone else in a PM, I have once again had an opportunity to learn what God meant when he said to Paul in the midst of his own time of adversity, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness."

Thanks again,

SEAGOON

Just a quick note Andy.  Hard to put into words but I'll try. The loss that you and your wife are expierencing has crossed many borders.  The Korean Methodist Church here and in Korea have you and Family in Prayer.

If there is anything more that I can do, please do not hesitate to ask. you have my home number and you can call collect at any given hour.

In thought as in Prayers,

Mac

Wow,
Thank God for modern medicine and thank God you live in a country that provides it.  100 years ago you, and I and probably many others would be widowers.  My prayers go out for a speedy physical and mental recovery.
