Late Term and Child Loss

Intro - Loss of Hope Olivia

I wanted to introduce myself to this board.  My name is Christie and my daughter, Hope Olivia, was born on July 26th at 18.5 weeks.  I started having contractions on 7/24, by the time I got to the ER I was fully dilated and Hope's sac was bulging.  On 7/26 at 12:54am I gave birth to Hope, she passed away on my chest with DH by my side.  We got to tell her how much she was loved.  She held onto my finger as she gasped and moved.  I am forever changed by her.  She will always be my first born and beloved daughter.

We are having her body cremated, then will take her back to DH's hometown to bury her in the family plot.  This has been the hardest thing ever.  The suddenness of it is overwhelming.  I have had 3 early miscarriages before Hope, but they were all before 6 weeks, so I never got attached.  I really thought Hope was going to be my take home baby.  Even though the first 8 weeks of my pregnancy with her were scary due to an SCH and heavy bleeding, we got through it, and the last 10 weeks were pure bliss.

I miss her so much.  But she gave me the most precious gift by making me her mommy.

I hope that I can join this board and make some friends who can bring comfort and I can bring comfort as well.

  • I'm so sorry for your loss.  My son Daniel was born at 18w4d in what sounds like a very similar situation.  It sucks that any of us are here, but these women are great support.

  • Amandager99, did they ever figure out why Daniel was born so early?  Was it incompetent cervix?  If so, how are you doing now with your current pregnancy (if that ticker in your siggy is correct)?

  • ***  TICKER WARNING ***

    christie212 - I am so sorry, that ticker is not current :(  I haven't been able to access this board for almost a month now.  I had heard people had issues with their tickers, so I checked mine before I posted and it had the code for my memorial one.  Clearly that is not my memorial one.

    Daniel was born early to an IC.  It's only been just over two months.  He was born and passed on 5/25

    ***ticker warning/pregnancy mentioned***


    I am so sorry for the loss of your daughter, Hope Olivia. Your story sounds similar to mine, we lost Alice at 20w4d and it was determined it was due to an incompetent cervix.

    I am pregnant now, 8 weeks and they will be monitoring my cervix very closely once I hit 14 weeks and I will most likely get a cerclage. My dr also said it doesn't always happen a second time, especially since I had no risk factors.

    Again I am very very sorry for your loss. Welcome.
