Late Term and Child Loss

Loss of my little guy at 33 weeks

I lost half of my heart that day... February 26th he stopped moving I went to the hospital that night freaking out with good reason I guess. They could not find his heartbeat. I knew then something was wrong. We waited for the doctor to come do an ultra sound. He was gone my baby was gone. I gave birth to my sleeping angel Cooper on 2/28 at 5:28. We got to have him for 6 hours which was nowhere near long enough. Cooper had his cord wrapped around his little neck twice and a little section of his cord had no blood in it. He was beautiful with a head full of dark hair. 
We have a 4.5 year old that was very existed to meet his little brother he is why we named him Cooper. That was the hardest conversation I have ever had. 
We miss him so much... Some days all I do is cry. I hope one day to have another baby but I am so scared.

    Thanks for sharing your little guy's story. I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I know it it the absolute worst feeling when they say there is no heartbeat. I hope you're getting through each day for now.

  • I am so sorry for your loss. We lost our son at birth in February too and one of the hardest things was having to tell our 3 year old DD that her baby brother was not coming home with us. She was convinced that he was sleeping and that he would wake up.

  • I am so sorry for your loss of little Cooper, and I'm sorry to welcome you to the board. We also had to have a difficult conversation with our older son, I hate that he had to be introduced to death at such a young age. If you want to talk, feel free to PM me.

    I am so, so sorry for the loss of your sweet Cooper. My DS was 3 1/2 when his little brother died, and he kept asking if the baby would wake up. It broke my heart into a million pieces. I'm so sorry you had to have that conversation with his big brother.

    Please know that we are here for you whenever you need us. We all - unfortunately - understand what it's like to be in your shoes, and to say it's hard is an understatement. We're here to provide love and support, whenever you need it. *hugs*

  • I'm so sorry u had to go through this hurt and pain. I too lost my daughter at 33 wks on 2/28 due to the same problem her cord was wrapped twice around her neck. The key to grieving with your lost is prayer and encouraging words you give yourself everyday! Have faith and cry as much as u need honey. Sending u and your family hugs
  • I'm so sorry! Hugs!

  • I'm so sorry to hear about your son Cooper.

    As adults, we struggle to understand why these things happen. To try and explain these things to a child is heart wrenching. My heart broke when I had to tell my daughter her sister couldn't stay with us.
  • Thank you all for you support... I love see Cooper's name written in your posts.
    I'm glad I found this board. I originally came back to The Bump to delete my profile. I just really wanted to stop getting all the emails. The weekly update I loved are a nightmare now. 

    Then I found this board and I wanted to share Cooper with you and learn about your angels and see how you were all coping. Also to see all the brave and strong Mama's trying again. I hope I can be as strong as them some day.
  • I'm so sorry for the loss of your precious Cooper. As stated we hate seeing new members but we all are here for you. Love and hugs!!!

    I'm so very sorry about the loss of your beautiful son Cooper. I'm thinking of you and your family. There's a great book that you may want to get your older son. It's called "We Were Going to Have a Baby But We Had an Angel Instead." I lost my firstborn babies but I still found the book to be very comforting. I bought my rainbow babies a book called, "Someone Came Before You."

    Big hugs to you. I'm glad you stayed on The Bump and I hope you continue to find support on this board.

    Rest in peace, sweet Cooper (wanted to write his name again for you xo)
