I am a 34 year old mom to a fantastic 3 year old son. I have been married for 13 years. This past Feb. I was diagnosed with Peripartum Cardiomyopathy, which is pregnancy-induced congestive heart failure. Our son was stillborn on March 15 of this year. I gained a ton of weight throughout the pregnancy and was very, very ill. I have over 50 lbs. to lose and am working very hard to get it off. It's a very slow process being on lots of meds and not getting adequate sleep, but I am trying hard. I attend cardiac rehab exercise twice a week and do lots of walking. I am looking forward to feeling better and getting my life back!

    Wow, sorry to hear of your tragic loss! I can't imagine the pain! But you made it thru and putting one foot in front of the other, so you are a fighter! Good luck, although I don't think you will need it... you will win this battle for sure!

    AAAWH I am so sorry for this to happen to you. I know no one can take away the pain but you can work on yourself and make some of the pain go away so good for you to join this fab group of people who honestly help and support each other from all walks of life. I hope that you can have peace within yourself and move on. I unfortunately lost several babys in the last few years so I can relate a tiny bit of the pain but not anything close to what you have endured. Feel free to friend me and welcome!!!!
    For some reason when you go through something like this it just feels like someone ripped your soul out and will never be the same but guess what...it will change and things will look up and you feel better if you work at it ..it will come :)
    and again deepest sympathies
