Placental abruption.. lost our little boy

I had a severe placental abruption on Friday, started bleeding uncontrollably, lost well over a liter of blood, ended up going into labor on the side of the road on the way to the hospital. I ended up having my little baby boy at only 22 weeks 4 days, 12 inches, 1.5 lbs at the hospital.. He was alive and healthy for a brief moment before he passed.. I lost so much blood I almost got air lifted to the next hospital over. As of right now they have no idea what happened or why.. I guess I’m posting on here because I’m fricken sad and I know it’s gonna take time to heal.. both mentally and physically. Has anyone here had an abruption before? I guess it’s rare? I wanted to have a second baby so badly.. my husband even said this was the hardest thing he’s ever gone through.. just looking for anything right now to get through this.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Grieve on your own terms ...don't let anyone rush you; and just focus on physical and emotional healing. Take things a minute at a time if that's all you can do For your little one: Deep peace of the running wave to you Deep peace of the flowing air to you Deep peace of the quiet earth to you Deep peace of the shining stars to you Deep peace of the gentle night to you

I’m so sorry Mama. I lost my little boy in August at 20 weeks. I know one how numb and in shock and devastated and all the feelings you’re going through. So many people will give you advice and tell you “there is light at the end of tunnel” and so many things. All I have to say is I know how broken your heart is and I see your pain. 🩵

First I want to say i am so sorrrrrry! I definitely know what you experience I had one at 23 weeks exact! I can say I remember that day I was under so much stress because of my child’s father and I still to this day think that’s why I had the abruption. She lived for 2 days before passing. I won’t say it’ll get easier it will definitely take months I ended up getting pregnant literally 6 months after which I was not suppose to but with god! I had a healthy pregnancy and healthy baby im praying for you mama my condolences.
