Due Date- tough day- need support

smaguire77

Today is my "due date" for my precious daughter Quinn. The day I've been telling family, friends and strangers for 9months that I hoped to be holding my little girl. Today is the day I assumed I would go past and the day I assumed I'd have stopped working by. Today is the day I've counted down to for months.

Only there is no baby to hold. Instead I have a box of memories and a birth story with a sad ending. My daughter Quinn passed away in my womb at 38 weeks 2 days. My contractions had started, she got tangled in her cord and wrapped it around her ankles three times, restricting blood flow. She was born sleeping (naturally and without meds) on October 5th. I've longed for her and missed her every moment of every day since then, but today seems especially difficult.

My biggest fear is that she will end up forgotten or people will see her as "not a real person." She was a real person. She was real to my husband and me. She had a name, a personality and the most beautiful face I've ever seen.

Thanks for reading- and thanks for understanding. Today is the day I should have been announcing the birth of my baby girl and not having trouble even seeing past the next minute. I just needed a place to tell my story and have my little girl celebrated.

I love you, my baby girl Quinn.
I'd never change getting to feel your little kicks, punches, swirls and twirls for anything. Thanks for making me crave strange food and learn how to treat my body like I always should have been.
Sleep tight baby girl, and watch over me and daddy as we try to live on ur lives like we would have if you were here.
Sleep tight, baby girl and thanks for making me a mom. ❤️

I'm so sorry. We lost our boy at 37w4d, to unknown circumstances. His heart just stopped beating. His due date is in 6 days, and the pain is awful. I see the pain in your post, too. Thank you for sharing.

So sorry for for your late losses. Although I am late to this comment, I will pray for those remembering their due dates and baby's.

Ours would have been end of Dec 30th 2015 and June 5th 2016. We will be remembering our first angel's in less than 2 months.
