My sweet Rebekah was stillborn at 36 weeks. That was 35 years ago. I went on to have other babies but her precious soul has never left me and the heartache of February 9th will always be with me. Bless and keep you and your beautiful son he’ll always be your first born baby. 🙏
As the mum of a 3 year old little boy who died in a freak accident-there is nothing that identifies the parents of children who’ve died & that is an immutable fact for the rest of our lives & we carry that tragedy in our hearts, souls & bodies for the rest of our lives.
It does not matter the age of your child when you lose him or her. I lost my oldest son on 9-4-19…three days before his 54th birthday. I miss him every single day. He was a CPA and owned his owned his own accounting firm. Smart, talented, caring, kind…a wonderful son, a super big brother, a great boss and the kind of friend everyone wants. I miss my son every single day….but at least I got to have him half a normal lifespan.
With my oldest baby, first son, I was barely 18, and had preeclampsia toxemia and had extremely high blood pressure, and a high protein content in my urine so my doctor, who was a GP, had me induced. Back in 1965 there were no epidurals. The only pain relief that was offered was shots of a pain killer that I can’t remember the name of. I was in labor for 56 hours having contractions every minute and a half that lasted a minute and a half yet I only dilated to 3 cm so since I didn’t dilate any faster after they broke my water, my doctors decided to do an emergency C-section. During labor I was given magnesium sulfate injections every 4 hours with a 3” needle and the shots were very painful. I have felt that I was extremely lucky that I survived and my son survived and was so smart and talented. And I had 6 more babies and, of course, 6 more C-sections. My babies were born in 1965, 1968, 1974, 1976, 1983, 1988 and 1990….but for the rest of my pregnancies, I had the top OB/GYNs in Dallas, Texas…Dr. Luis Leib. He was my doctor for the next 32 years until his death in 1999 from colon cancer and I miss him so much. He was not only my doctor…he was my friend. He watched over me carefully with every other pregnancy and I never had preeclampsia again. So many things changed about prenatal care between 1965 to 1990., most for the better. So many moms lose babies…..again I am so sorry and so sad for you and your family. Dom was a beautiful little boy.
I have been there , laying right in that table with you. Right at the 39:00 is when it really hit home for me . I totally agree with her . Never on my WORST enemy would I want those words "...no heartbeat ". Those words still echo in my mind from Feb 22 2022. I can thankfully say now I am holding my double rainbow baby she is 4 months old.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I can not even imagine the pain. It is unfair. There is nothing anyone can say to make it better. Just sending our love to you. ❤
Thank you for sharing Dom’s story. He was a beautiful little baby boy who was so loved by you, your husband and extended family. I am truly so sorry for your loss. 🤍🕊️🤍🕊️🤍
My sister was diagnosed with pre-eclampsia on week 26 of gestation and was scheduled for C-Section at 32 weeks. I'm very sorry about your loss and experience. Doctors didn't do their job for you. It is a clear case of medical negligence. I wish the best for you and your family. ❤
This young lady is wise beyond her years. She should really be a speaker for advocating for yourself. I am so sorry that her, Jack, and their family lost Dom.
I am so sorry for the loss of your precious son. Thank God that they give Moms the option to hold your baby…years ago, most of the time they did not let new parents see the baby or let them hold the baby….which in the long run is so much harder. I am so glad you all choose to hold your precious child.
I really think these videos are valuable.. thank you for your work. I'm sorry this is happening so much and I really feel that there is not enough being testified to the public that women are being ignored,shut down and silenced.
I had pre-eclampsia when I had my son. It was very obvious to me by they didn't catch it. I had an emergency c section because of the complications. I think a lot of doctors today are almost too reliant on their ability to pull a patient out a problem vs preventing issues or even listening. I had textbook everything and they missed it. My experience pales in comparison but I deeply empathize with you and I'm so sorry about your son. Thank you for sharing his story.
I lost twins back in 1998, 1st one when I found out I was pregnant, 2nd about 4 months later. I, too am near Harrisburg, I had such anxiety, and questioned every little "abnormal things"..1st ob/gyn told me to stop waking her up early mornings with stupid questions. I immediately found a new ob/gyn. I was never given a choice to give birth, I was told DC only. I hated everyone, for a long time. These podcasts make me realize what I could have done, but never given the chance. I thank you for sharing your baby's stories with all of us. In 2007 I had a healthy boy, who is the center of my world..navigating life as a single mom, but I love it. Every little thing, I was at my Dr's office, and it was okay, he was ok..his cord was around his neck though...and 3 weeks early. He is my only one, pregnancy is very scary, so 1 and done. But he is the absolute best! ❤
My son Liam was a stillborn. Due to lack of communication, empathy, and negligence from the hospital, he didnt even get a chance 😞. That is where the name 6monthsofsilence comes from. I feel for all the moms and dads out there with an Angel Baby.
Oh how I can relate. I lost my son, at 15 weeks but delivered him at 18 weeks after being induced to have him vaginally and not opting for a D&C. I ended up hemorrhaging and was checking out of this life. A nurse came in and was angry that I was soaking the the blue pads underneath me and that they cost $4.00 each one. There is more to this story than this but I had an angel nurse come in and actually ask me if when the doctor reached in and pulled him out if I and my husband wanted to hold him. Of course yes! I was hemorrhaging so still had an emergency D&C and While under anesthesia he asked me what to do with the baby or body. I said testing. He then just plopped him in with the other organs from delivery. I have no pictures, but he was perfect! I then lost my next baby at 3 months old.
Exactly this happened to me 38yrs ago,dr wouldn't listen when i said there was something wrong,i had 4 + of protein in urine and sky high bp they still sent me home. It shouldn't still be happening all these years later 😔

I am so sorry . I think most people come here to not feel alone. What was your son's name ? Or favorite color ?

I’m so sorry for your loss but I’m so grateful you were able to have Dr Anderson to help you through the worst days of your life.

I was traumatized by birth because some of the nurses and doctors were so cruel. (The midwife apprentice was the most amazing.)
Do you think you had HELLP syndrome? Did they check for elevated liver enzymes? My daughter had HELLP syndrome with her first child.
