[@wishingyoupeace]

Wow that is so beautiful that you spoke to her and said goodbye while in the womb. 😢 Very sweet.

Maud, your testomony moved me so much. I am a 35 year-old woman and pediatric neuro-developmental specialist in the US, and I also have never seen a first trimester toxoplasmosis baby who survived. I am so, so very sorry for what you have been through. You sound like a very beautiful family. 💕Brandi

How incredibly sweet, and so precious, her brothers wanted to, and did Honor their sister. They, stepped up. Even little ones know the worth of life. And how the loss of it deserves Honor And insisted on carrying their sister in that Honor. Mom, you have done a wonderful job with your boys. I am sure their sister is Proud that her brothers, carried her with Love. What a wonderful , reverent and precious moment.

You are so cool to be able to think like a turtle. I carried my son for 2 weeks after he died. In denial. My head in the sad everday i thought he would start kicking. We do our best to stay strong and pray for the best out come. I was just a kid

It was a celebration- a celebration of her precious little life- however short.

Toxoplasmosis is common in cat feces, so playing in a sandbox or digging in a garden are ways it can be picked up and transferred to the mouth. Women in the US are cautioned to leave cat litter box cleaning to someone else. Infection later in pregnancy isn’t as dangerous. I’m sorry Clelia didn’t make it. I’m sure she felt your love.

[@katibajer5295]

A lot of people don't know that even cats are able to spread Toxoplasma once in their whole life for about a week. So getting it from a cat is highly unlikely, because you have to catch that one week window in your cat's life and have to get bitten or scratched by a cat that enough propagules on their body surfaces. However, it is super easy to get it from unwashed strawberries that was soiled with an ifected cat's faeces. Even washing strawberries might be not enough because propagules can be caught under the seeds on the fruit's surface (and this is true to any other fruits or veggies that grow on the ground and are hard to wash). This information should be spread around more because pregnant women don't know what to pay attention to. I am awfully sorry for Clelia, I hope you guys find solace in your other two kids while keeping her in your hart forever. ❤

What an incredible way Maude’s boys honored Clelia. Sweet memories of such a sad event. I was able to see it like a movie. Also as an artist and auntie who has done lots of art with children, absolutely incredible way to involve the boy and helping them understand and share their emotions. Thank You for sharing!

Drs scared the crap out of my daughter when she was pregnant with my grandson with this blood test! 4D ultrasound showed he was perfectly fine! He's 15 now im so sorry for your loss

[@fede7888]

in Italy the examination for toxplasmosis is performed every month throughout the pregnancy, especially if you have never had it

Maud thankyou for sharing your precious Daughter Clelia 💗 with us, l am absolutely certain God is totally OK with a crying newborn as you reassured your Son 🙏

[@lindawalters9334]

Such a sad set of circumstances causing such damage to your beautiful baby.It is very common to dread seeing the baby but the nurses do “prepare” the baby & bringing the baby in the little carry cot.Your boys being involved will help them so much in the future. Maud you are amazing, you will have your baby in your heart 💕
