Pregnant after 35

Life is so fragile
My daughter's 5th grade teacher lost her baby during her scheduled delivery Wednesday night.
My daughter is inconsolable. I feel so helpless and sad.
This is so painful.

Re: Life is so fragile
Yes, it is. How very sad. I am so sorry.
Did they say what happened?
No one knows what happened. It's been a healthy pregnancy. All I know is the delivery was induced due to her being over-due. The kids have spent the entire year growing close to this baby...seeing ultrasound photos, guessing names, giving her a baby shower. Ugh, so hard.
Not that it makes a difference but, I wish I knew what happened.
I wish I could do something. We've been asked to respect their privacy to give them time to grieve which I can certainly understand.
Kari, my heart breaks for them and the kids in her class. I can't even imagine. I will keep them all in my prayers.
How awful. I am so sorry for your DD and her teacher.

Oh so sad! What if you and your DD made a donation to the March of Dimes in the baby's name/on behalf of the baby? Her teacher wouldn't know, but maybe it would help your daughter some?
So terribly heartbreaking. I'm sorry.
Yes, life is so fragile. It's a life lesson that your DD shouldn't have to learn yet. Keep her talking and she'll be fine. My thoughts and prayers are with that poor teacher and her family. So terrible.
Oh, no. I feel so bad for that poor woman and her family. It's such an unimaginable tragedy.
I'm also sad to think how this will overshadow your daughter's happiness during your pregnancy. I hope she doesn't spend the next few months fearful of what could happen to LO.
Hugs.
How heartbreaking for the teacher and your daughter and her classmates! I couldn't even imagine what this poor woman and her family is going through, and the children must've been so excited going through this pregnancy with their teacher. What a tough thing for them to have to deal with.
That is so incredibly sad. It is scary to hear. The 1st trimester was my biggest concern, but hearing stuff like this is a wake-up call that anything can happen.
I really feel for that teacher. For the grief she is going through. Also for how hard it will probably be for her to talk to her students about it when she goes back. Hopefully the school can do something with a grief counselor for the children and have the teacher present as well. I would think being that school is almost over, she may not even go back. I don't think i would be able to if I was in that position.
I really feel bad for your daughter at this point too, having to deal with this while you are pregnant.
