REMEMBERING GEORGE | Stillborn at 39 Weeks During COVID-19 Pandemic in England

[@Rachachick]

I think no appointments in the third trimester was unacceptable. A tragedy of Covid hysteria. There was a lot of CYA going on in England. I’m so sorry for your loss.

[@wishingyoupeace]

It wasn’t hysteria. Covid was a real threat and killed many people. At one point, we didn’t know if we had enough ventilators. Healthcare workers didn’t have PPE they needed and had to be exposed - some of those pregnant women or had newborns at home. Easy for those who were not threatened to call it hysteria while safe from afar. Please don’t.

So sorry for the loss of your precious boy George now he is with the angels sending you all my love and thoughts rip little man God bless you xxx

[@debjudisch5548]

Graham and Miranda...I am so sorry for your loss of baby George. My heart literally aches for you. I lost my daughter to cancer when she was 28 and I thought I would never heal from that. But as I think back on both of my children's births, I cannot wrap my head around going through what you went through. As you said, Miranda, being sent home with the knowledge that your precious babe inside of you was lifeless, only to face the nursery full of hopes and dreams and your hearts now broken was so cruel of the hospital. I am sure that at that point you were just putting one foot in front of the other. Then lying there birthing a beautiful, perfect piece of both of you, hearing only deafening silence. I hope that you believe that you WILL see and hold your precious son one day, because you will. You will and he will be full of life and breath! I pray that you feel a peace in your hearts...God bless you both.

George touched more lives than you realize.

[@StillAPartofUs]

Thank you. We hope that the legacies of our children can help others who are experiencing or who have experienced something horrible like this.

[@amybostic1439]

This was a beautiful story and my prayers go to Miranda and her husband. Thank you so much for sharing so candidly

[@StillAPartofUs]

Thank you for listening

[@SK-ut6tw]

I just had my son by emergency c section at 37 weeks 5 weeks ago. Her story is eerily similar to mine. Luckily for me they found his heartbeat but the fluid was low enough for them to deem it an emergency and they took him that night. They also made me wait an hour before they even checked his heartbeat. I shudder at what could have happened if I hadn't gone in that day.

I live in London for 10 years I absolutely love it as well💝RIP little George💞💞💞

[@Indyrm03]

I'm so sorry for your loss of Baby George. Thank you for sharing him with us. I had a stillborn son, Micah, 7&1/2 years ago. I understand your pain.

[@StillAPartofUs]

Thank you. And we are so sorry for your own loss.

[@justelleslife507]

I have an idea for the Still A Part of Us channel, if any of these couples go on to have rainbow babies I'd love an update, only if it would be okay and with permission of each individual family, there's nothing more beautiful than a newborn baby regardless if it's stillbirth or live birth, such brave people all of you!

[@StillAPartofUs]

Thank you for that suggestion. We do continue to keep in contact with many of the families that come and share their children with us, and it is something we could ask them if they are comfortable coming back and giving an update. We'll have to give this a thought.

[@nanabella6038]

​@Still A Part of Us So sorry for you loss. I share with you every pain you are going through as I also just had a stillbirth at 8 months pregnant 😢. Wanted to ask if you have tried to sue Nhs for medical negligence? Its worth to try though it won't bring the baby back, at least our babies needs justice , it can also help to raise awareness of this kind of negligence to help future mothers to not go through the same pain. Stay strong ❤

[@lisarimbo8696]

Great suggestion. My heart aches for all these couples ❤️

[@bettygann]

his little hand was so beautiful,wonderfull photo, wish for you to have more babies in the future.

[@StillAPartofUs]

Thank you, and we are so sorry to hear of your own loss. It will be a joyous reunion when we meet our children again.

[@susanturner4129]

I'm sorry for your loss, don't feel bad you didn't hold your son, you held him for 39 weeks, close to you. That was a most important time. He knew you and heard u both. He knew he is loved and you can hear how much.xx Thinking of you both and wish you love and luck for his brother or sister to Come. Xxx

I’m so sorry that happened to sweet angel George I believe 110% they were negligent in not seeing baby George weekly in the third trimester like everyone else and also…had they done a scan….❤

[@juliebriz1703]

So sad about little George...thank you for sharing ....what a lovely gesture from that other family of the lady who died, Jean. Xx

[@StillAPartofUs]

Thank you so much.

[@saracoffelt8488]

I'm so sorry for your lost. I don't know how it feels to have a stillborn but I have had 3 miscarriages in around a year in a half. They were in October 2019, March 2020, and April 2021. We had our triple rainbow baby in July 2022. She is amazing. It's amazing that your due date was right around my first miscarriage due date. I was due June 2nd or 3rd. I can't remember.

[@jenniferdreves823]

[@INSHERRYSOPINION]

What a beautiful story. Wonderfully spoken. The grandmother Jean who passed away, I believe this family crossed your path for a wonderful reason. I as a medium believe Jean is caring for George until you can be reunified. Thank you for sharing your time and story of George. God blessed you with a wonderful son. George Rest In Peace precious angel.

THATS JUST ONE WORLD TURNED UPSIDE-DOWN & SIDEWAYS & IT JUST MAKES NO SENSE BUT YOU WERE IN EMOTIONAL SURVIVAL MODE & I wish you the best in your future together & comfort & healing comes in time & George gives you the signs you need to smile again :)

[@StillAPartofUs]

Thank you. As parents who have lost a child, it sometimes is a scary and emotional experience to talk about our children, so thank you so much for being so supportive.

[@lifewithdeedee3392]

God's timing is perfect. It took that long to give George the home going so the other family could be there to to support you with flowers, balloons and empathy to carry you through. I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm 29 weeks and I'm praying for you.

[@StillAPartofUs]

Thank you Dee Dee. The outpouring of support and love that they received was so sweet to hear.

[@lifewithdeedee3392]

@@StillAPartofUs I love what you all do for grieving parents. Many times they hold the hurt in, and don't talk about it which causes more depression. Talking to family who says "you all can try again" or "their in a better place" only makes it worst so the hurt in silence, ruin their marriage many times and end up on meds. Your show gives them an outlet to speak, be hears, and understood. Thank you for what you are doing

[@StillAPartofUs]

Thank you. We truly hope that when we talk with these parents it is a healing experience in which they can talk to someone who has walked a similar path. Each story is their own and so very personal to them, but there is comfort in being able to lean on someone for just a little while. Truly, thank you for listening.

[@amythomas1124]

My Momma lost my older Sister at birth. Stillborn July 9th, 1956. My parents named her Veva Lea. My Momma never got to hold her. The Nuns whisked her away, but my Dad caught up with them. He seen and held her. She had red hair, weighed 6 pounds, 12 ounces. Mom went on to have five more children. I was her 4th child. My Daddy said I looked exactly like her. ❤️ I have four brothers. We are all in our 60’s now. Mom & Dad are in heaven with our Sister.

Shows how important it's to meet the baby even if it can be so hard.

[@StillAPartofUs]

Thank you for your comment. As societal norms charge, it's more common for the baby and parents to have that time together. But, not long ago, parents weren't even allowed to see the child after birth.

[@theelizabethan1]

Most assuredly, it's a very important passage of grieving and closure.

[@summerlloyd8786]

How do I tell my story. My baby girl just passed at 38 weeks and she was inside me for 3 days before they could get us in a room. Needless to say it was the worst experience of my life. And this just happened Dec 19th the day they finally were able to deliver her. I am barely able to type this because I am really struggling to get through this.

I'm so sorry. I can't imagine 💔. I won't ask, but wonder where on earth they couldn't get a bed for 3 days when they knew the baby was no longer living. That sounds like additional torture for an already devasted woman in the midst of family tragedy. I'm just so sorry 💔

By the look of the photos you kept in-shape which is the best thing to do during pregnancy. I was the opposite so there was a list of problems during my pregnancy.

[@corinneharvey1663]

So very sorry this happened to you. But I feel they are at fault for not sending out a midwife to check you each month for measurements after your scan at 34 weeks. The decrease in girth or at least another scan would have shown a decrease in growth. Definitely negligent. You should have sued . I hope you have been able to have another healthy child. What happened To you shouldn't have happened. I don't care if it was the pandemic or not. Home visits were required. So sorry for your loss.

[@StillAPartofUs]

The loss of a child touches so many lives. Not only the parents, but all the family as well.

[@theelizabethan1]

Such unfortunate missteps....Seems this is a casuality of COVID-19/"collateral damage"......And at age 36, it's a "geriatric" pregnancy invoking special risks for a first-time mother. The last three or two months should probably be semi-bedrest, not the least to enable the mom to focus and stay attuned to the developing entity within her......That's what was prescribed for my 39-yr-old friend. She delivered viably via C-section -- though there were some minor issues and the baby was colicky. I feel great sadness for you two.

[@StillAPartofUs]

What conversations and discussions happened between Dr. and patient will be forever etched in the memory of the parents. It isn't our place to judge or second guess what was done because we truly don't know. We are happy that your friend had a happy outcome in her situation.
