This past Wednesday 3/27 my husband and I lost our baby girl, Alice, at 20w4d. I have an incompetent cervix (unknown) and went into labor. Yesterday, 3/28, we were supposed to be having our anatomy scan to find out if we were having a boy or a girl, instead we were making burial arrangements.
I am so heartbroken and angry and have so many "what if" questions that can never be answered and won't make anything better.
She was perfect, just not ready for the outside world yet and my body wasn't able to keep her safe any longer.
Once you make it past the first trimester you start to breathe easier, then you hit the halfway mark and you think, I've got this. Things are going well and you are feeling confident in your pregnancy, then bam your world crumbles.
