    My baby died inside me in 1981. We were at Walter Reed army medical center. After three hours of labor he was born sleeping. They put him in a metal pan. I asked if I could see him and they held up the corner of the pan so I could see him. I never got to hold him or say goodbye to him. I didn't get to kiss him. To this day his birth haunts me. God blessed me with three more babies all healthy. Thank you for letting me tell you my story.

      Thank God for your healthy babies! My own mother and mother-in-law each had 3 miscarriages- and were told that their bodies could NEVER carry children to term. Then both ended up having 4 children after that-none were premature, and only one had a lung condition at birth! Then, all were fine! If your ob-gyn tells you to give up on being pregnant and carrying to term, get a new ob-gyn! OnlyGOD knows!

    Having doctors and nurses run into the room in the middle of the night is terrifying. I was in the hospital for 2 weeks before my daughter was born. Doctors wanted her to get a little bigger, but my lupus started fighting her off. Finally at 37 weeks we couldn't wait any longer. My daughter was born 3lbs 3oz. She went straight to the nicu and I was pumped full of medication. She will be 20 in December. I couldn't be prouder of her.

    I was at UC DAVIS MEDICAL CENTER when my grandson was critically I’ll and undergoing tests. As my daughter and I sat in the cafeteria, waiting the two hours for the medical team to do the tests, all of a sudden the PA system started playing, “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” out loud. I just started bawling out loud, it meant a new life just came into this world- and a couple’s life just changed forever! Thankfully, my grandson was able to be saved- and is now a very healthy 17-year-old!

    Omg. That prolapse. The other episode the one midwife was explaining to her about it and then It happened. That was so intense. Poor dad was so excited then the chaos and he was so confused and concerned his face omg. I couldn’t handle it. Mom was calm considering like ok gunna have a good labor made it this far. They have been through enough then wham. Glad they checked when they did seemed like they removed the stitch and then it happened. I know it’s probably edited for effect but it was still scary. Couldn’t imagine a still born or 13 miscarriages. I love this show. Makes me wanna have more and I can’t. Emma is beautiful and amazing. I’d love to do this job.

    My son Tristan was stillborn at 26 weeks due to my water breaking after an amniocentesis. I delivered him, not knowing that his intestines grew outside of his body, which was the reason he passed due to him suffocating. husband was a military at the time and we lived in Japan, I couldn’t bury my child and he was too small to cremate. This was the hardest time of my life and I truly understand the heartbreak and pain that these women go through and I know one day they’ll be able to move on, never forget but move on

    Situation like the cord prolapse is just one of the many of the things that can go wrong during a delivery which is why home births are such a big risk because if you lose you lose big time. I never had a home birth but I lost my first born at 22 weeks due to an infection causing my Water to break he lived for 45 minutes I don’t wish that pain on anyone and the thought of someone willing to take that chance all for a perfect birth experience is mind blowing to me.

    • @crohniequeenab
      @crohniequeenab 4 года назад +3

      Well seeing as though she was high risk and Drs that know that will insist on a hospital birth and she was there home birth wasn’t an option for her. People that have home births are healthy and no medical concerns. When a midwife helps or is there or in a birthing center nothing wrong with a woman having a choice. If you check yourself in labor and all you feel is the head then you’re ok. I don’t think it’s ok to lump it all together like home births are horrible. Lots of babies die in a hospital setting or during induction and Csections too. Especially in the US with the highest.

    Honestly as a pregnant mom, I would feel very moved if someone at the hospital cried if we lost our baby. I wouldn’t expect it but I wouldn’t be annoyed with it either. That’s called empathy and it’s a trait I would find comforting in a stark hospital…

    We had 8 losses including a set of twins at 22 weeks and two stillbirths at 29 weeks and at 37 weeks. I don’t know the gender of the first 6 because they were early in my pregnancies. The 29 week baby only weighed 1lb 4oz due to a short umbilical cord he didn’t get enough nourishment. The 37 week baby was 7lb 8 oz. and 23 inches long, the doctors didn’t listen to me a few days before we lost him that I knew something was wrong. We now have two healthy men, 32 yrs old was born at 34 weeks and 6lb 10oz and our second is 31 yrs old and weighed 4lb 6oz. Both spent between 2-3 weeks in the NICU but they survived! I had my tubes tied after the second c-section. I never wanted to go through those experiences again! I really feel for these couples to having to bear this experience. I didn’t have any type of bereavement 33-36 years ago. I wish they had something. I have no pictures, or anything but memories

My second child was a healthy little boy born 2 years later and he's an amazing 34 year old young man. I'm so very sorry for your many losses...💔😢😇

      In 1979, at 28 weeks' gestation, the babies died in utero. Twins, who shared a placenta. One was strong and one was not. Since the ill baby's blood flowed between both babies, it killed them. I had to deliver them, knowing they would be born sleeping. Seth and Samuel, who are gone 40 years now, have 2 younger brothers, ages 33 and 25. Both NICU babies. The youngest was born at 28 weeks, the same duration of my first pregnancy. Much has changed since 1979, but every day they are in my heart.

      Tala S: I’m so sorry for your past losses and the fact that you don’t have any photos to revisit, outfits or blankets to hold, hats to feel or smell, measuring tapes to check the markings and finally index cards or a baby book page to value the unbelievable tiny ink foot prints. All of this timeline is so precious and the journey is extremely important no matter how old your babies were when they became Angels. I know you have your mental memories; which you stated so eloquently stated. However, I encourage you to write down; each and every one of your losses as they are each important baby’s experiences. This way, you can review and relive their lives as you remember their dreams if you so desire. Your individual memory journals will be easier to remember if you begin them when you have a fresh memory. Then, if you, your grandchildren or great grandchildren would like to know the true history, it will be documented for all the years to come. Besides, this also is a medical history that might not be as adequate as your journal. Your dictation could potentially save someone’s life! After writing a journal for each baby and potentially even having an outfit or something of yours that’s important, a memory box(es) might end up being created. Hopefully these beautiful memory boxes will end up becoming a gift of the mind and heart that captures everything perfect between you, your beautiful memories and the adventures that will become when all of you. Which eventually unite you and your family in Heaven.
      I’m crying as I’m typing this since I too had a similar experience. My husband and I lost a son and were not given the opportunity of having any pictures to remember him. I was so worried that I would forget our love experience and the dreams we created. I was so wrong...His life, has been one of the strongest points in our relationships after we went through a rough patch and realized why we were having issues communicating. After everything came together, our family has become even stronger. Although Caleb was never allowed to fulfill his life on earth-next to his siblings, each one of them love him so much, they all know who he was, talk about him, realize he watches over them, and he look forward to meeting him in Heaven and I cannot wait until the day he can officially jump into my arms again. This is the reason I made a commitment to remain working with our bereavement groups and help with grief/memory boxes. I feel privileged to work with families in the privacy of their uniqueness, shadowed by compassion, love, gratitude, ÿtkindness, recognition of life, reality of truth & trust, many times dealing with unexpected disabilities resulting in a death, remembering the smells of the baby and being worried that those sweet smells might disappear, focusing on the beauties of each crease, skin color, lock of hair, size of a hand, foot, cord, baby or babies. They are all blessings that the Almighty sent as a Family.
      My condolences go out to you and your family. I can still hear the pain that you carried. I am so grateful for your two Rainbow babies that followed after your losses and hope you were able to experience many wonderful blessings and loads of happiness.
      Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences. God bless. ❤️

    Don’t know if you have anything like this in the UK but in the US we have a number of different groups that make special garments for babies lost through miscarriage and stillbirth and actually any baby who doesn’t leave the NICU or hospital. One group is NICU Helping Hands and they make the different garments and bonnets from donated wedding gowns and bridesmaids or flower girls dresses as long as they are lighter shades of pink, blue, ivory, and white. Occasionally they have gotten in a gown that has red or wine details for a wedding during the Christmas holidays. Many of the women who create the Angel gowns have gone through a miscarriage or stillbirth. You would be blown away by the gorgeous gowns that they lovingly create. Sizes start with a wrap that has a pocket for the smallest babies. Then there is a micro preemie, and sizes up to a 3 month old baby. They have services to help the parents and even have financial assistance for those in need. It was started by the wife of a NICU doctor who witnessed the issues the parents went through trying to find something for their baby to wear and keepsakes from the short time they had with their baby. The cuddle cots are an amazing gift for the parents who suffer a loss and need that precious time to say goodbye but also create lasting memories and pictures for the entire family. You can find out more information about NICU Helping Hands on their website NICUhelpinghands.org

      I belong to an organization called “Healing Hearts” from the US. We have assisted with bereavement in Illinois, Wisconsin and Virginia making infant gowns,outfits, photos and the entire bereavement process. We broadened our scope more than 40 years ago when we started our venture as we included the smallest of our blessings with crocheted buntings adorned with sown white linen or satin beautiful edged liners with a small cross’s in the corner to full sized clothing pieces. We have included many groups who perform magnificent work of art from baby buntings to full term gowns made from the same wedding gown materials, infant linens, hand croqueted, including all booties and matching blankets and hats. We’ve even had parents who don’t want gowns but preferred outfits such as little shirts and bibs or kickers for boys, and dresses with bloomers. Those can be offered as well. Parents have many ideas that they would like their loved one to clothed in. That is beautiful to me as we come from all walks of life. We started adding colorful clothing when different cultures began to request them. Many look at bereavement as a life celebration. So we have outfits made for families that can choose from these categories as well. I began my original patterns over 36 years ago. I worked with a beautiful woman from Virginia, where I had asked our Children’s Hospital if it was ok she could work in my bereavement outreach. She was more than kind to make these gowns for me and that is how the program of Healing Hearts started. Currently we have books that parents and children can check out and files of handouts for bereavement materials, weekly parent meetings for loss and free photography that is offered for families who want those memories during their loss or after as a keepsake. There are huge benefits during the year to pay for these events and donations to fulfill the needs of the community. Healing hearts services all of the area hospitals in their entirety and supply the memory boxes that are decorated for boys, girls and babies prior to pre-gestational status(tissue). As parents we recognize the importance of allowing everyone to mourn all loss of babies at whatever stage. A loss is a loss...it is a loss for the future...a loss for what might become of our extensions...our creation and our total being of who we are - and what we truly love; a gift to each other!!

      All of the gowns are free to anyone who needs them and they can be customized if the parents have special requests. All of the materials used to make the gowns, bonnets, blankets,wraps, and keepsakes are donated . They serve all 50 states and Canada. I haven’t checked recently but they are working towards having services like those here all over Europe and other countries.

    When my daughter was 16, she gave birth to a beautiful little girl. Unfortunately, her lungs did not develop. She stayed in the hospital for 11 months. The doctors and nurses became so attached to her. My daughter would go up everyday and gavage the baby's food, change her diapers. She was a large premature baby. She was 7 months old, weighed 4 lbs. 7 oz. If they had had the surfactant they could give to the babies at that time, Ashlie would have made it. As my daughter went through this experience, I kept thinking, if I could just do this for her. But I soon realized I couldn't. It was her experience. With all my support, it still belonged to her. Giving birth to a baby is something we as women are blessed to enjoy, no matter the outcome.

    My husband was a paramedic. He rarely spoke about the people in the ambulance. One thing he shared was a poignant comment about having a mother asking why her just born baby wasn’t crying and you know you are 15 miles from the hospital.
    I was training in a hospital to be a lab tech. My first week following a mentor I watched a “blue baby” take his last breath. I was 17.
    Labor doesn’t have to hurt. This is not true for all births. My first contraction was shocking, It wasn’t the pain though it was strong. The shock was realizing my body was in control. I couldn’t say I wasn’t ready. My next three deliveries were painless. My labors were short. One and a half hours, next fifteen minutes*, last thirty seven minutes.
    The fifteen minutes was one long contraction. I went for an OB check and was told I was six cm dilated. The doctor told me I had to go to the hospital next door and I was lucky he was letting me walk and not go on a gurney. They broke my water. I had a couple wimpy contractions. I was given pitocin, before the nurse got to the door I was in pushing labor.. She ignored me when I gesturing check me. She thought I was over reacting. My husband said, “I think you should pay attention and check her.” She gasped when she looked under the sheet. I went from six to crowning in less than five minutes. I don’t remember pushing. A boy was born with a little lopsided head and apgars of ten and ten. The shape of the head adjusted to normal in a day or two. I don’t know if they gave me too much pitocin or I was extra sensitive to it but I insisted all my charts had NO PITOCIN on the front. I know others who have had it without my reaction.

    I LOVE that this woman sons are with her in the hospital room. I do find it interesting that in the UK women labor in such a way (On their knees) so that the baby comes out from the back facing the Midwife.... so different than the US. This makes me assume no episiotomy either and that I think is wonderful!!

    While bereavement training is the most dreaded training it is also probably one of the most important.
    When I first started working at the veterinary clinic I was terrified to experience loss, death, and especially euthanasia.
    The experience is never easy or okay. You don't ever get used to it. But you do.
    In an odd way I was very good at it. It is never the same and never nice but just as a happy moment... the "parents" place a trust in the staff.
    *I KNOW it is not the same thing. And am in no way trying to compare directly.* It is just what I thought of when watching.

      I've had 17 pregnancies and only have 2 children, both are girls and we just found out we r expecting again.
      And my best friend lost her baby the day she was to be induced.
      I was by her side the whole time, I held her hand as his little body came into this world.
      She named me his godmother.
      I had this non profit company come and take pictures for her. It was called now I lay me down to sleep. I know it's here in the US, not sure about the UK

    You woman are remarkable and I believe anyone that gets to have you as part of there care team are really lucky!!!!! Here in the USA I live in the state MI, in a rural area. We have to drive over an hour for a midwife. I believe it has a lot to do with law suits. People in our country are very sue happy and God forbid something happen people try to sue anyone. It’s definitely not something everyone does because babies unfortunately do die sometimes. I wish we had more midwifes!!!! My daughter would like to have a midwife but me being disabled it’s hard for me to drive that far. God Bless each and everyone one of you!!!

    My first baby (I'm at 18 weeks due Jan 29) has spina bifida myelomeningecele and we don't qualify for the in utero surgery, so she'll be going to surgery within 2 days of birth then to the NICU for however long she'll need to recover. She's my first baby and it'll be hard, I think, not being able to hold her as much as I'd like, but I tell myself it's for her own good.
