Hi ladies.

On Saturday, November 10th at 4:12pm, my little boy was born at 37 weeks 6 days. He was 6 lbs 7 oz and 20" long. He was born sleeping due to a cord accident, the cord was wrapped around his arm and then twice around his neck. Based on the way he looked, they said that he had probably passed about 2 days prior.

I asked them to put him on my chest as soon as he was born and I will never forget that moment. We were able to spend hours with him, they bathed him and dressed him and we took so many pictures with him. I was able to hold him for so long and kiss him and tell him that I loved him. My sweet little boy, I miss him so much! Leaving the hospital was so hard, it's horrible to have to leave a hospital empty handed knowing that you will never hold your baby again.

My husband has been my biggest rock through all this and my girls keep me moving forward. We have a lot of love and support from lots of friends and family and that's also a huge help! I don't know anybody that has gone through something like this and I just need to talk to other mothers that know what this is like. I have so many questions and fears going through my head right now. TIA!!

Sorry for your loss! I feel your pain when I see your picture, holding your beautiful boy who was supposed to go home with you.

I had the same thing happened to me less than a month ago- "cord accident" at 36 weeks. I never ever thought that something can happen that late in pregnancy. Nobody talks about stillbirth. I do believe that if the OB GYN educate pregnant women better and there are more ultrasounds toward the end of the pregnancies many babies will be saved. I have heard about ?kick counts? but never did them with my previous two pregnancies and I did not feel need to do them- I wish I did them, I wish my doctor office had women do them. I noticed slowing down in movement but I did not worry as I thought it is normal toward the end of the pregnancy, never ever thought that it might be a cord.

First days after this happened I was in shock. I could barely eat, I could barely think. It is only a month now but at least I accepted it, I?m very sad about it but I know it is a fact. Life although changed so much is still going on. I can not return my little girl but when time heals the wounds a bit I want to put my afford in working toward ?preventing stillbirths?.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your precious son.  He's beautiful.  I'm glad you were able to spend time with him.  I know what you mean about leaving him at the hospital - having to say goodbye to Eliott was the most agonizing thing I've ever been through.  Please feel free to ask your questions here.  I had so many afterward, and this board wasn't around at the time.  I hope you'll be able to find support here.

I am so sorry for your loss but glad that you have found this board for support. My son Julian was stillborn (cause unknown) at 39 weeks, 5 days. I mostly lurk here, but the support and shared experiences here have been an important part of my healing process. I hope it will be the same for you.
