Last week I found out that my baby's heart beat stopped. We were 18 weeks along and I had to go to the hospital last week to deliver. I delivered a baby boy on 10/27/10 at 10:20PM. It was a very hard week. I had to bury the baby on Friday. Prayers are very much needed. Thank you so much.

{{{Hugs}}} You and your sweet baby will be in my prayers. I had twins November 2007, a boy and a girl, and they were born dead at 21 weeks. My heart shares your pain. May God be with you at this time.
 
Sarah, I'm so sad to hear this and so sorry for your loss. I suffered a stillbirth of my daughter 7 years ago when I was 22 weeks and I can relate to the heartache of losing a child that was so longed for and loved. Feel free to pm me if you need to type our your feelings. I also encourage you to look into bereavement support if you have something available in your area. it was very beneficial in helping to ease our grief.
my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time of loss. (((HUGS)))

Thinking of you and your family. My family too went through this 6 years ago this month with my sister. She carried full term knowing that she wouldn't have her little one to hold very long because medical care in our state isn't the best and her insurance wouldn't cover "the best".

My heart goes out to you today. :( Big (((hugs))) sweetie. I have friends who have had to endure such pain and they've all said that surrounding themselves with others who have experienced a similar situation is the best way to begin the healing process. So I encourage you to accept the help of the other Cheffers who have volunteered to talk to you. I'm sure some of what you are feeling right now will be very similar to the emotions that they encountered when they lost their little angels too. May I ask what name you chose for him?
