To My Little Ivy, May You Rest In Peace | My Stillbirth Story

Sharon and Winter talk about little Ivy Rebecca, who was stillborn at 40 weeks due to a cord accident. Sharon recounts the surprise of finding herself pregnant, because it took some time to become pregnant with her other children. She talks about lining up midwives and a birthing doula and finding out the gender during the 20 week ultrasound appointment. Sharon also tells us about how Ivy was born and having to plan a funeral instead of enjoying the sweet beginning of a new life.

My son was born with the cord severely wrapped around his neck. I had noticed he had not been moving as much in the last month of my pregnancy but was not aware of what signs to look for. Thankfully he was fine after having to cut the cord as soon as his head came out and they had to get him breathing by sticking a tube down his throat - I still do not know what that was . I do remember his heart rate kept dropping pretty low with each contraction and telling the nurse it concerned me but she said no worries. I also remember the doctor having to yell and cuss at her to get him scissors after he had told her once but she didn’t respond . He looked very concerned and very angered by her non responsive behavior . But my baby boy came out of it just fine and is very successful today . I often wondered if he knew not to move much once the cord was around his neck- like he just wanted to survive. Furthermore, I did notice he was a very anxious child for the first 4 years or so - and I often wondered did that experience affect his behavior. I think pregnant women should be monitored more and insurance companies should allow for more ultrasounds. Ivy is a beautiful baby girl and my heart breaks for any mother and father who are left to endure the pain of losing their baby.
