my daughter was 37 weeks but had IUGR. so she weighed 3lbs.11oz. her apgar at birth was 1 and after 10 minutes it was 3 then 10minutes later it was 9.she just barely made it. then it was touch and go as she had apnea.she is my only one i have had numerous miscarriages I thank God I have her. But, this struggle is very hard.And one no one should ever have to make. leaving the hospital wondering whether or not she is going to make it and i could get the call any minute
my aunt had a still born daughter 50 years ago...she never, ever forgot her...but back then, it was more "private", but she told me she had a kind nurse who, after the doctors had left, and the room was quiet, gave her baby to her to hold ( wasn't common practice back then) and my uncle got to hold her too( back then, a lot of fathers never even got to see their still born babies.

@hplexmark1 I don't think back then they even let the father's in the delivery room.It was very institutional like.they were very fortunate. my grandmother had a girl that was born still and by the time the drugs wore off the baby had been buried and my grandmother really never had any closure.When she passed she wanted the baby moved with her we tried but, had to have a court order to have her exhumed and moved. we lost. but, at least we tried.
thank you for sharing your treasured memories, and can i just say that the words about the moments being worth it because you got to hold an angel in your arms have never occured to me before and have given me some comfort thank you xx
My first pregnancy ending in a miscarriage at 11 weeks. It hurt so bad. I cried for weeks and still to this think about what my baby would have looked like. It was not even four months before I was pregnant again. We did not plan to get pregnant. I had an emergency c section at 33weeks and 1 day. My doctor told me they found out I had only half a uterus and one ovary. They informed me that it was amazing I got pregnant in the first place. I will never be able to carry a baby full term
i am so srry for your loss. my little sister was born with a birth defect and after a couple segeries(s/w) my mom had to make the choose at pulling the plug three days after she was born. i was really young when it happened and didn't understand it much but as i got older i greaved for her and my older brother who died when he was 5.
wow really sorry for your loss.. i dont have any children but i have some close friends that have children and if anything ever happened to them i dno what i would do. stay strong ..
I'm so sorry for your loss. My daughter was born Oct. 11, 2011 and I am so thankful to have her be healthy and happy. I am glad that Milo is doing so well. I'm sure Dexter is looking out for his little brother.
your son is n my prayers i just had a beautiful baybe boy and this video has me n tears to c dead beat fathers that have a son and wont eviin take care of their child and to know that there are sooo manny people n this world that would die tooo have a child thiss is soooooo sadddd im n tears im prayiing for ur son take care and never let him go!!!!
I wish I got to hold my precious little angel in my arms for at least a little bit but at least we got to feel her :) and we know that we have an angel up there in heaven watching over us! She was taken from us on December 23rd 2010. The Holidays have been especially hard this past year just knowing what could've been but we manage and we love and miss her dearly but at least we have an angel up there! R.I.P. Peighton Leigh-Ann Hall and to all the other little angels out there!
From a mother and a grandmother, your video was brave beyond belief. I sit here in tears, mourning the loss of a precious little and admiring the love and bravery you and your husband have shown. Congratulations on your new baby and may you be blessed.
My nephew is born at 29 week and when i first saw him i started to cry and his mother told me " at least we loved him " , i couldn't endure it..i was devastated but he survived,doctors said that he was no able to live but he did it ...because of this childbirth my sister ( his mother ) cannot give life anymore , my nephew is kind a miracle for her ...She told me after she already had a miscarriage
i admire my sister for her bravery and i admire you too , this is really hard to live , RIP Dexter
@SJKidsNyuki Thank you for your comment. I am glad your nephew survived. Most babies have a good chance at 29 weeks due to medical technology. Dexter's little brother, Milo, was born this year also at 29 weeks but he made it & is now almost 6 months old.
@Shootersgirl1976 His lungs just wouldn't expand enough despite valiant efforts on behalf of the NICU staff. Due to that, his brain didn't get enough oxygen & he was pronounced brain dead after a brain bleed that caused him to slip into a coma. We chose to remove him from life support after getting scans to make sure there was no brain activity.
@calikusssh23 I am so sorry for your loss. I know the devastation you must feel. May I suggest looking at faces of loss dot com .. it really gave me hope & a resource in meeting others for support. Support is SO important.
i rememberd two babies this year. my niece and my boyfriends son...i know that those two little angels will be in their parents hearts, and mine forever.
i couldnt even start to imagine the pain you went through and must still be going through. you and your family are in my prayers. this was such a beautiful video made me cry. he was such a beautil baby
god bless you and yours...we lost our son, Liam on 5/12/2001 and i know how you feel less then 3 hours after birth...your video hits home far too well, and ill light a candle for Dexter on Saturday also
Beautiful, beautiful tribute!!! He is gorgeous! This needs to be more widely known, and people should never be afraid to talk about it, because it can happen to anyone. Because it happened to me, and losing my son was the last thing on my mind. Thank you for sharing your story and spreading awareness.
This is a beautiful tribute to your precious little boy. Im so sorry for your loss, my heart goes out to you and your family xx. Im sure your precious little man, is happily playing in Gods garden with all the other little lost angels, including my own xx
