My Intro

I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm also glad to see this new board. I've looked at some other boards and most of them deal with miscarriages. Stillbirths are definitely different.

I posted in an earlier thread but I thought I would move it so that you didn't have to dig through it. 

 My name is Dana and I had a miscarriage at 7 weeks back in July of 2010. It took awhile but we concieved again in Jan 2011. My son Logan was due 9/25/2011. Had a perfect pregnancy no problems. I was diagnosed with RA in 2005. So I was on prednisone through my pregnancy. He was being stubborn though. I went to my OB 9/26 everthing was perfect. Nice strong heartbeat. I was suppose to have a follow up appt 10/3 for NST and fluid check. And they were going to induce me if he was still being stubborn. But on 9/27 I started having contractions not close enough together to go to the hospital. I felt him move that night. The next morning contractions were closer. So we went to the hospital. Got to the OB triage room to check in. They put a monitor on me to check my contractions and his heartbeat. But there was nothing. They told me that there was no heartbeat. We were shocked. He was fine hours before. The drs. continued my labor and at 12:39am on 9/29 I delivered my son sleeping. He was a perfect 7lbs 15 oz. and 21 inches long.

Thank you for listening and I look forward to hearing more from all of you.

    I'm so sorry for your loss of your angel baby Logan.  I lost my Hannah at 29 weeks in 2010, and Grace at 17 weeks in 2007.  I can't imagine anything much worse in life than losing a child.

    So very sorry for your loss.  So grateful for this board too because you're right. I almost felt offended when people would refer to losing a child in the second or third trimester as miscarriage because to me.. it's just not even the same thing.  The phyiscal and emotional aftermath of stillbirth is nothing at all compared to what it is with miscarriage.
