She is absolutely perfect. I’m so very sorry for your loss. Your pain must have been unimaginable when you lost her. My mother lost her last child, a little boy Edward,to still birth at full term in 1966. She suffered from placenta prevea. He has always been a part of our family and still very much loved. My mother died on the 22/04/2022 aged 94 years and the day before she died she told me that she was looking forward to spending time with Edward and getting to know him. She also wanted to know what colour hair he had as back in 1966 is was not common practice in the UK to see or spend time with a still born child and had not seen him. I really hope that mum is now with Edward as it gives me a lot of comfort to believe that they are now together.

How beautiful. X

[@southernbellebornnbred7811]

My Mother had a little boy, in 1964. She always talked about him, my whole life, his name is Jeffrey Wayne.(JW) after my Daddy. Jeffrey lived only a few hours. Mother passed on February 25,2022. I dreamed she was rocking him, the very night she passed. She so needed him. She so missed him. For 58 years. She has him now. Your Mom has her baby Edward now too. Much love to you.

I lost my son, Matthew Joseph in January of 1989 at 27 weeks. This moment of finding out the painful, unimaginable truth of child loss is indescribably painful. I listen to these videos because I deeply empathize. And it helps me to feel less alone in my loss. All these years later. And I remember him. He mattered. He was loved. He is forever right here in my heart❤️💔

You are such a strong woman and you have to know that it honestly wasn’t your fault. I hope that thought has changed for you. I lost a little boy at 28 weeks gestation and it was the lowest point of my life. You now have such a special angel looking out for you guys. It does make us stronger in the long run but I would wish this on the worst enemy I could imagine!! God bless, hugs and prayers!!

Caitlin thank you for telling us about your beautiful baby Fay Nicole,I have listened to many stillbirth stories which are always beautiful & sad but your telling had me weeping,I have not had a stillbirth myself but I was with my sister for the 24hrs of her sad experience & the way you invited your parents & in laws to meet your daughter was a far cry from “our”experience simply for reasons of family dynamics.There is no way you could have known that cuddling your baby could affect bodily changes so please be reassured that you certainly were not silly not realising that.Sending pictures of Fay to your supporters was such a lovely thing to do,sorry for rambling on but your precious baby & the way you narrated your experience has really resonated with me.You didn’t include the pregnancy & birth of your handsome son which must have been fraught with worries but I’m so happy to know you have your 🌈baby💙

I'm very sorry for your loss. I lost my first baby in the 5 month 29 years ago. I am glad you had lots of support I had my husband but that was it. No one wanted to talk about it. Little one RIP.

[@donnaryland9976]

She was such a beautiful baby. My sister's 1st child was health & doing great throughout her pregnancy. The day she went into labor the heart beat was fine all through the labor everything was good. As she began pushing some time in that time the baby simple died & they didn't have any idea back then that she had passed until she was born. My sister was so mentally unprepared for what happened. My mother was there & she came home afterwards & told us that the baby was a beautiful baby girl but something happened. They never talked about it again. The doctors asked my sister & her husband if they would donate the baby to science so maybe they could see what caused her to die so unexpectedly. The saddest part for my sister is they NEVER let her know anything! This was in the late 60's just so everyone knows.

She is so beautiful, my little sister died in 1949 and she had the thickest long black hair, with very fair skin. I thought she looked like Snow White and she was so beautiful, I thought she was prettier than me and I was only 3 years old and I didn’t understand why I lived and she died. I never got over it and neither did my mother. So sorry for your loss. My sister lived for only 3 days after birth and she was full term but she had a heart defect and Hyaline Membrane Disease and at that time there were no treatments for that.

Thank you for sharing your story. Your daughter is so beautiful. On September 27th I had my second child my son Cody. My first child is a girl. On December 1st 1995 my son passed away of SIDS. My world came to a sudden stop. I could not believe what happened. I did go on and had two other children 2 girls. Fast forward to 2021 my rainbow 🌈 baby my daughter was pregnant with her second child boy (first child a girl) his name is Ryder. This was the first grandson from my girls. We were so exited. My daughter at 35 weeks 2 days September 28th 2021 started to have horrible pain that would not stop and was almost passing out. ( now my daughter live in different stated she is in Oregon and I am in Ohio) she went to closest hospital ( which was not a birthing hospital her hospital was an hour away she knew she could not get there). The staff at the hospital did not want to bother with her so they made her wait in the waiting room which the pain was getting worse. Time went by she finally got to see a doctor and she got asked "why did you come here for you know we don't deliever babies" . Fast forward the did ultrasound and there was no heartbeat. Now the doctor did not do an physical exam on her when she got back there did not touch her belly or anything. Once they knew there was no heart beat all they (hospital) wanted to do is transfer sher to othe hospital an hour away. My daughter was bleeding and nothing was done for her. It was not go plus she was in horrible pain. Once she go to other hospital her doctor knew right away it was a placenta abruption because of all the blood loss. My grandson was born a few hours later on September 29 2021 beautiful and perfect but with no heart beat. It is so painful as a mother losing a child and then 26years later losing a grandson. My heart goes out to your family. Your daughter and your son are so beautiful. You are every blessed

Our great-nephew Ryder James was stillborn at 28 weeks pregnancy and he was a twin boy to Brody Eugene who thank God did survive. They were suffering from TTTS which has a high risk in the pregnancy! So Ryder is very much still with us and he is his brother Brody's. guardian angel! That was 2 years ago and Brody is doing very well now and he is hitting all of his milestones, walking, running, feeding himself, he is taking speech therapy for learning to talk. He survived 2 heart surgeries, and 2 brain bleeds, and came home from the NICU at the hospital after 172 days! Those are all the reasons why we believe that Ryder is and always will be Brody's guardian angel!

In 1975 I had a stillbirth at 6 mos, I went to my regular appt and I told the Dr he has not moved in few days so he listened did the Doppler and found no heart beat , sent me to directly to hospital and started me on IV medication to get labor started I was a mess, about 5 am I delivered a little boy, they had me put under anesthesia, they asked me if I wanted to see him and I sai no, if I could change my mind I would have and should of, my husband did see him but he wouldn’t talk about him, like I would ask did he have hair etc. we had a funeral and again if could change that I would because people came and I was not in any shape to handle them, I remember an aunt and uncle came and I said to my mom send them away I don’t want to see them. It took me a long time to come to terms with what happened, oh I did have them autopsy him and got no better answers that what I had before, so that was another thing I wished I had done. Watching brought old memories of something that happen 47 years ago and it seems like yesterday. We did have another son born about 2 years later and adopted another boy and girl so I have a beautiful family, 3 grand children to love and spoil. Bless this young couple and there son.
