SAMEHERE...I'm also sorry about your loss...and no there isn't anything harder than losing a child. I was scheduled to be induced at 39 weeks and the night before I went in the baby was moving and very active so naturally I thought everything was fine. The next day my husband and I were getting everything ready and I hadn't paid attention to the movement until we go to the hopital and it dawned on me that I hadn't felt my little Lexi, which was her name, move that day. I thought that maybe she was just getting positioned or something but when I went to labor and delivery and they were trying to hook me up to the monitors they couldn't find her heartbeat and then ultrasound tech came in to confirm that she was dead. They said she had to have died that morning around 6:00 am. I still had to have the labor induced and give natural birth to her...which was to most hurtful thing in the world. When she was born the cord was wrapped around her feet in a figure 8 about 3 times and was tied in a true knot, so that was the cause of her death. She was the most perfect baby and was almost an identical replica of my first little girl who is now 2. Here we were preparing to bring her home and instead we had to prepare a funeral for her. I think I was more in shock than anything because I made sure I done everything right and I guess that just goes to show that when you think that things like that can't happen to you, they do out of nowhere. Thankfully I have a really supporting family and everyone was there for me when I needed them most. I learned that what doesn't kill us only makes us stronger and I guess God just needed another "Angel" so that's where she rests. Fortunatly my husband and I have decided to start trying for another baby the first part of next year. I want time to heal emotionally and physically. If you don't mind me asking, what happened with you?
