This is a weekly check-in for women who have experienced a Stillbirth / Late Loss / or Infant Loss. I recently spent some time dividing this list into the reasons for the loss in hopes that we can all connect and provide additional support on our losses with other women who understand.
Anyone who has experienced this type of loss is welcome to join no matter if they are taking a break, TTC, currently PG, or have delivered a healthy baby. We sadly accept new member every week.
If you would like to be added to this list, please private message me with your information. Thanks.
1. Any updates? (Please note if your profile needs to be added or updated)
2. How long has it been since your loss? Have you recently passed any milestones?
3. What songs remind you of your baby? How does this song make you feel? Share a link to the song if you'd like.
4. Any suggestions for questions you'd like to ask the group?
These are the groups that I've divided them into, in alphabetical order. Some losses are listed in more than one category: Cervix issues, Chromosomal disorders/trisomy, Cord issues, Downs Syndrome, Heart defects, HELLP, Infant loss, infection, Kidney issues/Potters sequence, miscellaneous, Organ issues, placenta issues, pre-eclampsia, Spinal bifida/brain/neural tube defects, stillbirth, tripoidy, Turners Syndrome, twin loss, unknown reasons.

The MW was unable to find a heartbeat at our appointment and 2 u/s confirmed that baby had passed away. I was induced the following day and day after that, I gave birth to Kaitlyn. At this point the OB believes that it was due to velamentous cord insertion.
Nest Name: sydney0928 Angel Info: Ava was born still on July 30, 2009. On July 26 we went to the hospital due to lack of movement. Her heart had already stopped beating. I was induced and labored for almost 4 days. She was born at 5 am, weighed 3 lbs 13 oz, and was 17 inches long. She was beautiful with lots of dark hair. We don't know the cause of her death, possibly a cord accident. Found out I have an Antithrombin deficiency, but doctors think it did not affect my pregnancy.
Nest Name: Elybride Real Name: Stacy Angel Info: I went in for my regular prenatal appointment at 19 1/2 weeks looking forward to scheduling our "big ultrasound" for the following week where we would find out what the baby was. Unfortunately my doctor couldn't find the baby's heartbeat and an ultrasound confirmed our worst fears that they baby was no longer with us. I was induced and our beautiful baby girl, Brady Marie, was born on 4/10/09. All of the tests have come back showing everything was fine and she had no chromosomal abnormalities. My doctor did say that her cord was wrapped twice around her neck & 3 times around her arm so this may or may not have been what caused her death. We also had 2 m/c one on 7/3/06 and one this past summer on 8/1/08. SAL: Blake born August 2007.
Nest Name: Lewis514 Real Name: Mel Angel Info: I was pregnant with twin girls. At our BPP on April 8th (36w5d), they noticed cord resistance with our Baby Chloe. We went in for an induction that night and lost baby Chloe about 8 hours into induction; her HR just disappeared off the monitor and never returned. Her body and cord did not have the reserves to tolerate labor, leading all to feel that there was an underlying issue that could not be detected. We then had a c section and our Kira was born at 6 lbs 1 oz. Chloe was born 3 minutes later at 4 lbs 10 oz. Our true belief is that Chloe struggled and held on for as long as she could to get Kira to 37 weeks and give her the best chance possible and keep her out of the NICU.

Nest Name: MrsSummitCounty Real Name: Meghan Angel Info: At our gender ultrasound, it was discovered that our baby had classic Potters sequence (also known as bilateral renal agenesis--no amniotic fluid, no kidneys, no bladder, etc). The condition isn't genetic, preventable, or treatable and totally fatal. We decided to let her go rather than die constricted in a uterus that could not expand. On Aug. 29, 2009 we had a beautiful, peaceful little girl that we named Jude.
Nest Name: CRS30 Real Name: Camie Angel Info: My husband and I were told on Thursday 4/2/2009 that our baby most likely had autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease due to the fact that upon my 26 week appt I told the doctor I didn't have a lot of movement. She had me go for an ultrasound to be sure all was ok and I could barely see her on the screen which meant I had very little amniotic fluid. We went to see a High Risk OB in Boston the next morning and she confirmed everything. I delivered her to heaven a week later on 4/10/2009.

Not sure what caused this, but I had severe IUGR, the placenta was full of blood clots, amniotic fluid was almost non-existent by the end, and there were anomalies with the blood flow in the cord/baby. Discovered uterine septum that probably caused most, if not all, of the issues.

Nest Name: pawleygirl Real Name: Kristy Angel Info: I was pregnant with twins. When I was 21 weeks, 3 days pregnant, on Valentine's Day 2008, I went to the OB for a regular appointment and they could only find one heartbeat. Ultrasound confirmed that our little girl had passed away. I continued to carry her for the next 4 months while her brother grew and happily (and sadly) our son was born healthy and I also delivered our stillborn daughter. We never found out what happened to her. I've handled it pretty well until recently.... now Valentine's Day is coming up again and I've been a basket case.... wanting to celebrate our son's first valentine's day but not being able to bring myself to even think about celebrating on such a horrible day! SAL: JD born June 2008 SAL: Currently PG and expecting in January 2010.

As of now, the reason is unknown. We are hoping for some answers in the upcoming weeks.

Nest Name: Lewis514 Real Name: Mel Angel Info: I was pregnant with twin girls. At our BPP on April 8th (36w5d), they noticed cord resistance with our Baby Chloe. We went in for an induction that night and lost baby Chloe about 8 hours into induction; her HR just disappeared off the monitor and never returned. Her body and cord did not have the reserves to tolerate labor, leading all to feel that there was an underlying issue that could not be detected. We then had a c section and our Kira was born at 6 lbs 1 oz. Chloe was born 3 minutes later at 4 lbs 10 oz. Our true belief is that Chloe struggled and held on for as long as she could to get Kira to 37 weeks and give her the best chance possible and keep her out of the NICU.

Unfortunately my doctor couldn't find the baby's heartbeat and an ultrasound confirmed our worst fears that they baby was no longer with us. I was induced and our beautiful baby girl, Brady Marie, was born on 4/10/09. All of the tests have come back showing everything was fine and she had no chromosomal abnormalities. My doctor did say that her cord was wrapped twice around her neck & 3 times around her arm so this may or may not have been what caused her death.

1. Any updates? (Please note if your profile needs to be added or updated) Well. We had our big u/s on Monday and there are some concerns. Her legs and arms are measuring behind. We will be having a level II u/s next Monday.
2. How long has it been since your loss? Have you recently passed any milestones? It has been a little over 2 years since my late loss. This week we are passing the loss milestone with our newest pregnancy. It will be a long emotional week.
3. What songs remind you of your baby? How does this song make you feel? Share a link to the song if you'd like. The first song I heard on the radio on my way back to work the Monday after my D&C...it was I Hope You Dance. It gave me hope, made me cry, and reminded me that life is a journey and I need to enjoy it for the good times as best as I can. It still does all of these thing everytime I hear it and I think back on that morning.
AB&TB, sending good vibes for your next ultrasound. Keep us posted and I'll be rooting for you.
1. Any updates? (Please note if your profile needs to be added or updated)
I've had my first AF and on CD17. We're going to TTA this cycle and I'm not sure what we'll do after that. Right now I have the mentality that we'll cross that bridge when it comes to it. Things have just been flying at us too fast lately.
2. How long has it been since your loss? Have you recently passed any milestones?
Tomorrow marks 2 months. I can't believe it. And I turned 30 a little over a week ago, which was hard--we had planned a trip to see my BIL over my bday weekend and it was supposed to be the trip to see him before the baby came. I had a mini-meltdown. They probably thought I was nuts and that I was crying over turning 30, but that just wasn't it.
3. What songs remind you of your baby? How does this song make you feel? Share a link to the song if you'd like.
Pretty much anything remotely somber by The Beatles can reduce me to tears in an instant--Hey Jude, Yesterday, Something, etc. Right now I'm kinda strung out on Something-- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RT6xk-s-8ug
What really gets me is the line, "Something in the way she knows and all I have to do is think of her. Something in the things she shows me. I don't want to leave her now; you know I believe and how."
I know it's not about loss, but the whole "something in her way/I don't want to leave her" combo that just makes me think of my baby girl.
1. Any updates? (Please note if your profile needs to be added or updated)Yes, I had a cinsultation with a new MFM about Nolan, why stuff may have happened and what the future holds. I haven't posted this in my blog since I don't want to jinx it, but would love to share with you guys. Ill post it in a new post bc it's pretty long.
2. How long has it been since your loss? Have you recently passed any milestones? 4 1/2 months. My due date was in Sept, that wasn't very easy.
3. What songs remind you of your baby? How does this song make you feel? Share a link to the song if you'd like. I have SO many songs. I am going to post a blog about it soon after I collect them all. But my new recent one is one a friend sent me and the words are perfect! Its by Martina McBride (here)
1. Any updates? Not really. I've been feeling kind of depressed the past couple of days and I feel like I'm never going to get pregnant again. We've only been trying again for 1.5 months, and I know that's way too soon to tell, but I just don't feel right and I think something is wrong with me.
2. How long has it been since your loss? It's been 9 months since Heather was born. No recent milestones.
3. What songs remind you of your baby? "Don't You" by Simple Minds. It was playing on the radio when we drove away from the cemetery after burying her. It's kind of apropos, too, since I'll never forget about her.
1. Any updates? (Please note if your profile needs to be added or updated)I go to the RE tomorrow and get a SIS done. I'm a little nervous and I hope that I get some good news, I need good news.
2. How long has it been since your loss? Have you recently passed any milestones? My EDD is Friday, that will be my big milestone, we'll see how that goes. It's been 5 months since my loss.
3. What songs remind you of your baby? How does this song make you feel? Share a link to the song if you'd like. Slipped away by Avril Lavine4. Any suggestions for questions you'd like to ask the group?

I really like how you reorganized the list! Thanks for doing this!
1. We're in our first month ttc again and I'm testing tomorrow morning. It would be so great to get a bfp for my 30th b-day which is on Sat!
2. It's been 4 months since our loss. We just had our big edd on Tues - it was very sad and felt more final.
3. I'm trying to remember the name of the song that was in my head while I was in labor. It was really annoying and innappropriate, but nonetheless in my head for the 2 days I was at the hospital (I didn't even like it!). Now, if I happen to hear it, it brings me back there and I almost lose my breath.
1. Updates: I went to my RE for the first time since losing the boys. We went over a tentative plan for next time. We do not have any embryos frozen so we are going to have to go through a new round of meds. My RE only wants to implant 1 embryo this time...I am nervous about that but we are 3 out of 4 over our previous 2 IVFs so he is confident 1 will take. And since they can not truly determine a cause he is concerned that I may not be able to carry twins...and have no problem with a singleton.
2. It has been 8w 1d since we lost Cambridge and 7w 6d since we lost Sebastian. No milestones yet but the holidays are going to be difficult. We were having our c-section scheduled for the week inbetween Christmas and New Years.
3. There is no specific song that comes to mind but just about anything on the radio bothers me at the moment. Everything is so mooshy!
Angel info: John Matthew was born Feb 26, '09 with DiGeorge Syndrome (micro deletion of the 22 chromosome) that resulted in a severe heart defect, lung issues and immune deficiencies. We knew about this from my big US but pushed forward and prayed for the best. He was born healthy, but had many complications following his first heart surgery at 12 days old. He lived a beautiful 7 months and 2 days before we made the ultimate sacrifice and turned off his life support. He was everything I never I knew I needed.

It was really annoying and innappropriate, but nonetheless in my head for the 2 days I was at the hospital (I didn't even like it!). Now, if I happen to hear it, it brings me back there and I almost lose my breath.
1. Updates: I went to my RE for the first time since losing the boys. We went over a tentative plan for next time. We do not have any embryos frozen so we are going to have to go through a new round of meds. My RE only wants to implant 1 embryo this time...I am nervous about that but we are 3 out of 4 over our previous 2 IVFs so he is confident 1 will take. And since they can not truly determine a cause he is concerned that I may not be able to carry twins...and have no problem with a singleton.
2. It has been 8w 1d since we lost Cambridge and 7w 6d since we lost Sebastian. No milestones yet but the holidays are going to be difficult. We were having our c-section scheduled for the week inbetween Christmas and New Years.
3. There is no specific song that comes to mind but just about anything on the radio bothers me at the moment. Everything is so mooshy!
So I guess I might fit in here...

Angel info: John Matthew was born Feb 26, '09 with DiGeorge Syndrome (micro deletion of the 22 chromosome) that resulted in a severe heart defect, lung issues and immune deficiencies. We knew about this from my big US but pushed forward and prayed for the best. He was born healthy, but had many complications following his first heart surgery at 12 days old. He lived a beautiful 7 months and 2 days before we made the ultimate sacrifice and turned off his life support. He was everything I never I knew I needed.
