Stillbirth & Prematurity: Remember Ava Grace

[WarMaiden88]

My son Tiernan died 4 weeks ago from a stillbirth, he came into the world on his due date April 15th 2011 and my heart is broken and will never heal...

Mother of Andrea Ranay bornstill November 7,1991 of placental failure. I couldn't even get a death certificate.

[pendletonivy]

She was so beautiful.

I lost my son at 40 weeks in 2008 and have YET to get a death certificate. I am now expecting a baby girl and terrified of another cord accident. You would think, since there are so many stillbirths each year, people would be more educated. I've talked to people that don't even know what stillbirth is.

This video was way too strong for me....i min into it and i broke down.....I lost my dear brother about 5-6 years ago and I miss you brother. I never got to meet you, but i can feel you right next me. How great it would of been to be a role model and take you out for ice cream and etc. Writing this really hurts....im doing it while tears run down my face......man this sucks.....

[angrosenberger]

My daughter, Karissa Ruthanne, was stillborn on 8/5/98. I had had 4 miscarriages prior to losing my precious angel. My heart goes out to anyone who has lost a child. I too was saddened by the fact that I did not get a birth certificate...only a death certificate. You are brave to share your story. Bless you!

[januaryjewel08]

Thank You so much for this. We have many similarities. You lost your sweet baby girl on my 7th wedding anniversary. I was pregnant with our 3rd baby. I had endured many miscarriages and 2 healthy deliveries. A week after December 9th my pregnancy and world started to unravel. My sweet angel Ava-Grace was born into heaven on January 17, 2008. This is a day I constantly relive and will never forget. She was 20wks and beautiful. Thank you..my heart goes out to you in so many ways!

[AbbeySays]

This touched me so much. Just this sunday my sweet angel got her cord wrapped around her neck and she passed away. I miss you maddy. Your mommy loves you so much.

[avilesnba]

@AbbeySays same thing happened to my mom about 7-8 years ago. I didnt get to meet my dear brother, but I can imagine him now. Running around and falling like a little kid would. Yeah....this touched me a little too much.

[sig1288]

I know how you feel...I lost my baby at 7 weeks and most people think i'm supposed to be fine since I didn't really know her (yes, i just knew she was going to be a girl) Paeton. But I did. I was so exstatic when I found out I was pregnant then only 7 weeks later to find out I wasn't going to be anymore....It still hurts.

[avilesnba]

@sig1288 I didnt get to meet my brother either but it hurts. Just to think that a piece of my family is gone really really hurts. RIP Derek

[THETHERAINY1010]

[Sheenbean000]

so sorry. This is a lot more common than I thought...my sister just lost hers 3 days ago...I can't breathe

[adriennekimbrell]

I'm so sorry for your loss of beautiful Ava Grace. My son, Avery Jace, was stillborn at 34 weeks 2 days. All of the tests and autopsy came back normal - no reason was ever determined for his death. It's so sad that so many families have to experience the loss of a child. It breaks my heart. I think of Avery all the time and all of the angels in heaven with him. Thank you for sharing your precious Ava. Avery's video has the same song as yours. I love that song.

[benkeirs]

my daughters name is ava grace she is 15 months old... my thoughts are with you!! didnt realise how many ppl liked the name ava grace

[lauraandryan0429]

I certainly know the exact pain you have and will continue to feel. My husband and I lost our daughter at 21 weeks also. My placenta also abrupted. They tried to keep me on bedrest in the hospital, but sadly the placenta was in too bad of shape. She died about a week into my bedrest. It was the hardest thing we've ever had to endure. For people to say because the child was stillborn and you never got a chance to know them, it shouldn't hurt as much, is ridiculous. Good luck to you.

[jorandle88]

God bless you! my boy would be 16 now I will never forget and the pain is still raw. I consider myself lucky though as I have 3 very healthy sons now aged 14/17 and 23. but we will never forget their brother, a precious little bud that didn't flower. xxx

[kitch41048]

I am sorry for your loss. I can't imagine losing a child. She is beautiful.

[Fenwick0mommy]

I lost my daughter to stillbirth at 32 weeks in January. Her name was Ava Grace Rae. I know exactly how you feel. I am now pregnant with my second daughter, she is due on Christmas Eve. We are naming her Renae Ava Nichole. I am so sorry. Our Ava's are playing together in heaven now.

[brynann1323]

i understand exactly what your going through i los my son at 37 weeks to stillbirth

[kjdavis88]

so sorry for your loss.  I couldn't imagine losing a child, no mother should have to go thru that, no matter the age of the child.

[GatoValora]

My greatest condolenses from Finland,i lost my little son "Okko Ossian" in the year 2000.He was stillborn at week 27, andwas born whit 18-syndrome(Edwards´syndrome).­I know your pain..

[foreverloves74]

I'm glad I saw this one too. Your daughter is so beautiful and I can acutely feel your pain. Thought I was able to get a birth certificate because my sons were born alive, the heartbreak over never seeing them take a breath, cry, or anything is palpable. Take good care, you've made a loving tribute to your child.

[Scarletriver26]

What a beautiful video, I know your pain. May God Bless you x

[Horrorrock666]

we need more money for reserch,we need to get it out there,we all know about breast cancer and pink ribbons,what about still birth,

[ikonoclast85]

Hi,

I'm studying to be a doctor in England and I was just wondering if you hadbeen tested for antiphospholipid syndrome?

It can cause recurrant miscarriage and placental insufficiancy/abruption.

So sorry for what you went through.

[nickers7879]

Thank you so much for sharing such a tragic loss. its a beutiful video and tribute you have put together for your daughter, I am sure she is smiling from above.

[gumpishere]

I'm sorry for your loss. She was beautiful. God will bless the bill your are promoting. I know it in my heart. Our daughter was also stillborn at 35 weeks. I feel it's bull that we pay the same price plus some for a stillborn baby but it's like they werenever born. Everytime I file my taxes and fill out the child credit exemption and I can't claim her. It makes me feel like the world says she never even existed. I believe you should be able to claim them at least the year they were born.

[sparkely1122]

wow you are a true strong women and probley going through alot of pain, this little tiny baby is such a beatiful angel my goddness, i hope your going to be ok , god belss to ur littl eangle and she is definitly watching over you!!!

[oregonmommyof3]

christian elias navarro was born to heaven july 5th 2002,i felt like i was the only one going through this, after watching your video my heart hurts in a good way, just knowing there is someone else out there besides me!! Thank you from my heart for sharing!!

[twitzel68]

I am a funeral director and we are taught that these little babies are just as important and loved as any baby should be. I am so sorry that the medical community treated you that way. She was beautiful and deserved all the respect and love of any lost child. I am so sorry for your loss. Take care.
