The worst news ever...

maigirl99

I don't post much on here, but I had to share my story because it's just so sad, and it has to be one of the worst things that can happen to a mother.  My friend was scheduled for her second C-section yesterday.  She went into labor 2 days before and a friend took her to the hospital.  They checked her vitals, and everything was fine and she was dilated to 4 cm, and then they took out the doppler and they couldn't find the heartbeat.  They did it a few times, and still couldn't find it.  They sent for a sonogram and they verified that the baby had passed away. She and her husband spent the day holding their precious baby girl.  I went to visit them yesterday, and they seem to be okay, but the moment I saw the pictures...I lost it.  She left the hospital today with out her baby girl.  I am trying to be strong for my friend but it is so hard.  So unfair to have this happen to good people.  The doctor said that the baby had passed away on Sunday and something went wrong with the wiring between the brain and the heart.  She was perfectly healthy, otherwise...her heart just stopped.  I never thought I would know someone who had to go through something like this.

How terribly sad! I heard a similar story from a friend yesterday about her friend that was 38 weeks and lost her baby girl. I'm wondering if this the same person that you referenced. In any case, it is terribly sad! I cannot imagine the pain and heartache that the family is going through!

What a sad, tragic story. I know I will worry constantly until my little girl is in my arms in about 3 months, and when she does get here, it will be an entirely different set of worries then. I can't imagine their pain- I will keep them in my prayers.?

That is horrible news.  I have a close friend this happened to as well and I would never wish this on my worst enemy as I cannot imagine much worse than losing your child at any age.  My deepest sympathy for you and your dear friends.

What a tragic story.  I can't imagine the pain your friend and her husband are feeling right now.  My heart goes out to them.

Oh no, I am so sorry to hear that!  I don't know how one would recover from that.  Unbelievable.
