Full term stillbirth?

keleenc · January 2011

Any other mommies out there going through a loss after a full term pregnancy? Four days after my due date I went in for a scheduled NST where they found no heartbeat, I was induced and gave birth to my daughter the next day. It's a month today since I went in for that NST and it would be nice to talk with some moms who have experienced loss of a full term baby.

My loss was not full term but I just wanted to drop by and Say how very sorry I am for your loss!! I can't even imagine the pain you are feeling right now. Although a loss is a loss and my pain is very hard to deal with right now. but there are (unfortunaly for them) many ladies on here that are or were going through what you are! I hope you find support here and I have a feeling these ladies will be reaching out to you very soon when they get on.

I'm so deeply saddened for you and your loss. I did not have a full-term loss, I was 22 weeks. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your little girl. ((hugs))

I am so sorry for your loss. I was 37 weeks when my son's heart stopped beating, and he was born 2 days later. My doctor called it a full-term stillbirth. If you would like to talk, feel free to send me a PM. Talking to other people in similar situations was really helpful to me (and still is). (((Hugs)))

Your post made me cry, it was one month ago today when the Dr. found no heartbeat. I had naturally gone into labor and they discovered no heartbeat when I got to the hospital. Nolan was 39 weeks and 6 days and had been healthy and strong only a few days earlier at my OB appointment.

I am so incredibly sad that someone else experienced a loss like I have, but I am glad that you have found this board. Feel free to private message me anytime!

This is my first time posting anything on here. But I feel as if I could be of some help to you ladies and give you some hope. On October 27, 2008 I was 38 weeks and 6 days pregnant with my first baby after having 2 previous miscarriages. I went to the dr. that morning and had a NST and everything was perfect. We went home and 5 hours later I went into labor. I called the dr. and she had me come to the office before going to the hospital just to be sure I was in labor. When we got there she could not find a heartbeat. I then delivered our son Jack at 4:22 a.m. on October 28, 2008. He was beautiful and perfect in everyway. I could not understand what had happened and I needed an answer. Three weeks later the drs. were able to find a cause as to what happened with Jack. I could not stop blaming myself (even though I knew deep down it was nothing I did or didn't do) We also were told that we could begin to try again as soon as we were emotionally ready. Well the only thing that was going to make me feel slightly better was to have the hope of having another child. After losing Jack my world was turned upside down. I don't know how we got through the days and nights but somehow we did. Its so wrong to have to go through this and the hardest thing you can ever imagine. But I want you to NEVER NEVER GIVE UP!!!!

Thats what I chose to do! 10 months after we lost Jack our son Will was born on August 19,2009. It was a hard and long road to get through those 9 months waiting for his safe arrival but everything went our way. Then this past August I gave birth to our son Colin. I am sharing the stories of my sons births because I always wanted to hear stories of hope from women who went down this road and were blessed with children after. Not a day goes by that I don't think of Jack. I still sleep with the blanket I wrapped him up in in the hospital. And Will and Colin both have books I made with pictures of there big brother Jack. It is important that he is a part of our family.

For those going down this dark road right now please know there will be JOY and HOPE back in your life again. And that your little angels are smiling down on you!!

I am so sorry for your devastating loss.

I also was not full term, but had a totally normal, healthy pregnancy until the morning I noticed less movement. I just delivered our sleeping angel daughter Angeline at 30w/5d on 12/31.

I attended a support group this evening and met two moms who lost babies at 37 w and 39 w. If you have a support group for neonatal / pregnancy loss in your area you may connect with other moms with similar experiences.

We lost our son at 39+ weeks over two years ago. If you want to talk feel free to send a PM. I am so sorry for your loss.

I am also a mom who lost her baby due to stillbirth, she was full term. It was the hardest thing I have ever gone through in my LIFE! Check out this site where you can go and talk to others who are going through the same thing, it is new and trying to get up and going...

I haven't been in a similar situation, but I just wanted to say that I'm so sorry for your loss.
