@TheLegacyOfLeo Thanks Jess, hope you have a peaceful Christmas #BabyLossHour

[Puffin's Mummy @PuffinsMummy]

@TheLegacyOfLeo Yes I’m actually really appreciating that- no visitors- we can just focus on looking after each other, recovering from the physical side of it and grieving #babylosshour

[Puffin's Mummy @PuffinsMummy]

We also have tree baubles for each of our babies which helps make them feel more of a part of it #babylosshour

[Puffin's Mummy @PuffinsMummy]

In the past we’ve lit candles and blown bubbles with my 4 year old to remember Little Puffin and will probably do similar this year to remember both our babies #babylosshour

[JESS @TheLegacyOfLeo]

What small rituals do you have for Christmas Day or the days around to help you include your baby, and soothe the grief and missing? #BabyLossHour

[Puffin's Mummy @PuffinsMummy]

@merrymunky @TheLegacyOfLeo Yes it's online but with people I have got to know well in person which makes it easier I think #BabyLossHour

[Puffin's Mummy @PuffinsMummy]

@merrymunky @TheLegacyOfLeo Thank you- I am connected to lots of sources of support this time so have lots of people to talk to which helps #babylosshour

[Puffin's Mummy @PuffinsMummy]

@merrymunky @TheLegacyOfLeo Hi Emma, I've not been on for a long while but remember you from when I was on here previously- I've just had a second miscarriage last week 😢. Hope the 'meh' feeling doesn't last too long #babylosshour

[Puffin's Mummy @PuffinsMummy]

@TheLegacyOfLeo @AchingArms Ooh this is a lovely idea #BabyLossHour

[Puffin's Mummy @PuffinsMummy]

Spending time in nature or in our garden and thinking about/talking about our babies #BabyLossHour

[JESS @TheLegacyOfLeo]

Does anyone do any activities linked to your baby over the days of Christmas? We like to go to the sea when we can, and visit his grave #BabyLossHour

[Puffin's Mummy @PuffinsMummy]

@TheLegacyOfLeo Yep I'm so grateful for that- I know so many people have been without their partners in similar situations this year #BabyLossHour

[Puffin's Mummy @PuffinsMummy]

I’m here tonight for the first time in a long while...we’ve just had our 2nd miscarriage (our first one was 2.5 years ago) #babylosshour

[JESS @TheLegacyOfLeo]

Welcome to tonight’s #BabyLossHour. Who is around tonight? How are we doing?

[Puffin's Mummy @PuffinsMummy]

@TheLegacyOfLeo Yes indeed. She snuck my husband in for the scan and into the gynae ward with me(he wouldn’t normally have been allowed in due to COVID), spoke to the sonographer, waited with us made me a cup of tea etc- little things that made big difference #babylosshour

[Puffin's Mummy @PuffinsMummy]

@TheLegacyOfLeo Yes, thank you. We were in contact with bereavement midwife this time who made all the difference in making a terrible situation a bit more bearable #babylosshour

[Puffin's Mummy @PuffinsMummy]

@TheLegacyOfLeo What a lovely, thoughtful gift from your friend #babylosshour

[Puffin's Mummy @PuffinsMummy]

Thanks @HarrysHeroes1 and @TheLegacyOfLeo and everyone else for an interesting #babylosshour chat on self care

[Puffin's Mummy @PuffinsMummy]

@HarrysHeroes1 Yes- same for me #babylosshour

[Puffin's Mummy @PuffinsMummy]

@HarrysHeroes1 Yes and it’s hard to put ourselves first sometimes when there are so many other demands on us and we don’t want to burden others #babylosshour

[Puffin's Mummy @PuffinsMummy]

@merrymunky @HarrysHeroes1 Yes self care can be totally different for different people can’t it? What might help one person might be the wrong thing for another #babylosshour

[Puffin's Mummy @PuffinsMummy]

@TheLegacyOfLeo @HarrysHeroes1 Yes, I agree, making time for grief is really important #babylosshour
