D&C scheduled for tomorrow afternoon + another non-d&c question

So, I am having my D&C tomorrow at 1:30...and of course on the weekend that my babysitter is going out of town and my parents are away...should be interesting.

My question is, actually 1 have 2,...
I have a sono picture-did you ladies keep yours? I can't bring myself to do anything with it, but at this point, having it just makes me feel worse; though I can't stop looking at it.
My other question is- I wear a necklace w/ my boys' initials & the word 'mom' on discs. Would it be silly to get a disc w/ a butterfly on it to symbolize this baby/loss? do you think that's ok? Or is it kind of dysfunctional? I'm a bit of an emotional disaster right now.
Thanks for reading.

Re: D&C scheduled for tomorrow afternoon + another non-d&c question

I had a late loss (my son was born at 21w5d) I put all of our sono pics away. I didn't get rid of them in case I wanted them -- which I'm thankful for. I looked at them today (it's been just over a month)

I think adding to your necklace is a great idea. No matter what you will always remember that baby. Why not honor him/her the same way you do the children you have that are here? JMO

I was planning to get a tattoo for DS1 when I found out I was pregnant again...now I'm getting something for both of my boys.

I would not get rid of the sono picture yet. I put mine away as it was just too painful to look at it. I do think in time I will be glad I have it and you might too.

I think adding to your necklace is a sweet idea and a really nice way to keep this baby in your memory.

Lots and lots of luck to you tomorrow

Re: D&C scheduled for tomorrow afternoon + another non-d&c question

i am so sorry and i hope you feel better soon!

i still have a little album of my sonos but i havent looked at it since.

and i think the butterfly idea is a wonderful one!

Re: D&C scheduled for tomorrow afternoon + another non-d&c question

I'm very sorry for your loss.

I saved my sono photos. I couldn't throw them or anything else away because I couldn't just act as if the baby never existed because I had already loved her. I have everything saved in a box.

I also have a necklace that my husband got me to always remember our baby. I think something would be nice if it will make you feel better.

I say do whatever it is that you think will help you to cope

Re: D&C scheduled for tomorrow afternoon + another non-d&c question

I'm so sorry. I think you should hold onto the sono until your ready to make a decision about what you really want to do with it. I think the butterfly charm for your necklace is a really sweet way to always remember this baby.

Re: D&C scheduled for tomorrow afternoon + another non-d&c question

Thanks everyone. I'm going to the Helen Ficalora store to get the charm this weekend & for now, the sono pic is in my calendar. Had the D&C, I'm glad it's over and physically I feel fine. Not sure where we go from here......so surreal. Thank you again.
