Two weeks ago I had a missed miscarriage at 12.5 weeks. After seeing and hearing a strong heartbeat at our 10 week appointment we were devastated to see no HB at our 12 week scan. This would have been our second child as we have a 2 yr old boy. We don't want to forget our baby that we never got to meet. He or she will always hold a peice of our hearts. I want to do something to remember the baby. Has anyone done anything after being through something similar and if you did what did you do?

I am sorry for you loss and I wish you much love and comfort during this time.
Could you get something that you can keep - a tree in a pot with and inscription engraved, or a teddy bear with your babys name on it etc.
We lost our baby at 17 weeks. We had a balloon release memorial at the beach with family and we have a special box with scans etc and we have a photo frame with his tiny footprints in it and his weight of 150g and his name, Tristan Dillon. We also donate to Heartfelt and other children's charities. It helps us to remember him.

Very sorry for your loss. I think it is beautiful that you want to do something to remember your baby. You could make a memory box with ultrasound scans and any other things you may have that remind you of your bub. If you are able to you could plant a tree of some flowers. Other ideas are buy a piece of jewelery to wear in memory of your bub, buy a special candle to light on sentimental occasions in memory of bub (e.g. birthdays, Christmas, etc), or get a small teddy or other small toy to keep. I hope you find something that is special for you and your family. xo
This might not be to your taste, but if you have a tattoo to do with your first, or thinking about getting one, would you consider getting something like a butterfly hoovering above it to help you remember?
The colour for miscarriage awareness is blue and pink, something to think about.
