Q: Our Baby Was Still Born

My wife has asked me to post a message on here and I think it is only fair I respect her wishes. On friday night around 1.30am she started having contractions. We called an ambulance and she was rushed to hospital as she was only 21 weeks and 5 days pregnant.


When we got there they called someone to examine her but it was too late, within 10 minutes of arriving she pushed out our tiny baby daughter.


She didn't make a sound as she had already passed away. As you can imagine we are distraught with grief. She weighs 1 lb 1oz.


We have named her angel as this is what she will be. A tiny beautiful angel looking down on us from heaven. We have a few photos of her but I do not feel right posting them on a public forum as they are our private memories.


My wife is still in hospital as there was a few complications. The doctors are trying to determine the cause of death as just eariler in the morning rebecca had felt her kicking around.


We are planning to make funeral arrangments even though legally they aren't required. I ask of you if you can please send some kind thoughts our way in this difficult time.


Kind regards, neil

I am so sorry for you both. I lost my baby last year at 19 weeks 4 days, a little boy, we named him joseph. Hardest thing I have ever gone thru truly. My heart goes out to you both. After some time my husband and I chose to get matching tatoos to honor our baby. That may not be your thing but for us it was nice.

After time passes it will get a little easier. You'll never forget your angel but your heart will heal some. I am pregnant again now due in a month and have been fearful my whole pregnancy that something would go wrong. So far so good but ill feel so much better when I have her in my arms, we are having a girl this time.

Good luck and god bless.
