Q: Just Really Sad
asked by: sky on November 29th, 2004

I just heard some bad news about an acquaintance of mine, shes 8 months pregnant, she found out last week that the babys head was developed at like 32 weeks, and the body at 28 weeks, I dont know what that means, but anyways this was going to be her first baby, well she didnt feel the baby move for like a week and she finally went to the doctor and the baby was strangled by its umbilical cord, they dont know yet how long it had been gone, they are going to make her deliver the baby tomorrow. Its so sad, I cant even imagine.
Im not trying to scare anyone. But just to make a point that if she would have known how important it is to call the doc immediatly if she didnt feel the baby moving like normal it could have been prevented.

How sad......I personally think it would be really hard for her to see you pregnant, but that's just me! Maybe just getting in touch with her and being there for her will be enough! I really don't know though! You'll be in my prayers along with the mother and baby!

Oh poor poor woman. Sky just let her know you are there for her, but I don't know about going to see her as u are showing and it would probably hurt, just let her know that u will if she wants and give her condolensces from all your forum friends.
