Sad News

[Crystal Dreamer]

Well, we got some very bad news today. I hadn't felt the baby move since
yesterday morning, and then it was very little. I called the doctor and he
had me try different things to make her move, and nothing worked. He had
me go in about 1:00. At that time, he was unable to find a heartbeat using
the doptone. He sent me for an emergency ultrasound at the hospital in the
next town over. The ultrasound was very fast, and the technician left the
room to call my doctor. The doctor called me and gave me the bad news. Our
baby has passed.

Now I'm playing the waiting game, waiting to go into labor. I will have to
deliver the baby stillborn. If labor hasn't begun by Monday morning, I will
be induced. I have a feeling this is going to be the hardest thing I've
ever done, possibly ever will do.

Please send prayers and positive thoughts our way!

I'm incredibly sorry to hear about your baby :-( I can't begin to imagine
how horrible this is for you and what you must be going through right now. I
imagine that the labor will be very difficult (emotionally) and I hope it
starts on its own. I'm sending you all of the best wishes I can muster. I
know you probably don't need to be told this & I hope I'm not being
inappropriate, but it is supposed to be helpful to take some alone time with
you and your DH and the baby after she born to hold her and take pictures
and grieve together.

Again, I'm so, so sorry to hear about this :-( ((((hugs))))

I apologize in advance for top posting, and not posting replies
individually. I have read all of them and then everyone for the kind words
and condolences. I like the idea of spending a little time with the baby
after delivery.

Thanks to all.

I'm so sorry... Your baby's spirit has
returned to the universe, but while she
was here, she was loved. My thoughts
are with you.

Definitely do that. I lost my second son Nathan at twenty weeks
because of placental abruption; cuddling him for a time was
comforting, in spite of the pain, and is one of the few positive
memories of that awful day.

Thanks again to everyone for their support! Just wanted to give a heads up
that things are fine. No labor yet, no contractions, no bleeding, no fluid,
nothing. A few mild cramps that I probably wouldn't even notice otherwise.

Looks like I'll most likely be induced on Monday. My MIL use to work in OB
in the hospital we will deliver. She said that the hospital will help us
make arrangements for a service, we can get a free burial through a funeral
home and a free plot in my family's cemetery.

I'm surprising myself by handling it so calmly, I figured I would be a
complete mess by now. That may change when it happens, I'm sure it will
change when it happens. But right now, we are both holding our own. Thanks
again to everyone!

I've been thinking of you today and hoping that the induction and delivery
went as smoothly as possible. I'm so very sorry about what happened to your
baby and wish you and your DH strength during this extremely difficult time.

Thank you! I just got home last night and am still having a little trouble
getting around. I'll post more about my experience later. Overall, it was
actually positive despite the outcome. Labor was 29 hours, but only the
last two of that were really bad. The baby was beautiful, 1 lb 2.7 oz, and
was 12" long. We named her Mariam Averi, which means wished for child, from
the heavens.

Your story brought tears to my eyes and I had to stop
reading. Please forgive me for not showing my support
before. I wish you and your family truckloads of strength
for the time to come. I am so sorry for you loss.

I have typed my entire birth story and it is now posted on my website.

Again, many thanks to everyone. We named her Mariam Averi. Her name means
Wished for Child, From the Heavens. She was born at 12:38 a.m. on Wednesday,
September 10. She was 1 lb, 2.7 oz and 12" long. She had no hair. We spent
time with her afterwards, and I fell asleep with her in my arms. We even got
a few pictures, one of which I posted discreetly on the website for anyone
who may wish to see her. Overall, both Mike and I are doing well. We are in
the process of funeral arrangements. All we are waiting on is the pathology
lab to give Mariam to the funeral home.
