On Wednesday June 19, I delivered a stillborn baby girl. I found out 24 hours before she no longer had a heartbeat. 6 days before, her heart was strong regular at 136bpm. I was 41 weeks pregnant. I'm a full figured woman, but very active, I was very active throughout my pregnancy didn't gain more weight than they wanted me to. All my blood work was beautiful didn't develop gestational diabetes. The only thing that happened was that my blood pressure would spike, but nothing dangerous didn't require medication. I feel like I killed my baby. That maybe I didn't want her enough, the pregnancy was a surprise. maybe I didn't appreciate her enough. I feel like I'm dying myself, I'd gladly give my life to have her back. I feel like I should've known something was wrong. I knew I felt her moving, I know I did! We are burying her this week. I know this will be the hardest thing I've ever done. We want to try again in about 6 months for another baby, I'm just terrified this will happen again. At this point I'm just surviving. I hope I can smile again someday.
Re: I lost my baby this week.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your sweet girl. Did you name her? We'd love to hear her name if so.
Please know there is NOTHING you did wrong, and you did not cause this. I know it is so painful to not have answers as to why this happened and its so easy to blame ourselves. I can relate to that a lot....there was nothing wrong with my baby, but my body failed her and couldn't keep her in. It was literally the trauma of being born that she could not survive, she was too little and too early. I felt so guilty for a long time, but I hope you can come to some peace soon, knowing that you did not want this to happen and you did not cause it.
I am so sorry you have to be here, but I am glad you found us. Big hugs to you.

I am so sorry for your lost. I can relate with a lot that you are saying. I am sure most of us on this board have felt this barrage of emotions. The sadness, the anger, the guilt. You will hear it a million times and you probably still won't truly believe it, but this is not your fault. These boards are a great place to find support. I am sending you (((hugs))) as you bury your daughter this week. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
