Adam and I went up to the emergency room on July 28, 2010 because i hadn't felt our baby girl move in three days... The nurse tried putting the heart beat monitor on and she couldn't find a heart beat... My heart just speed up to a million miles an hour... They did an ultrasound and there was no beating heart... The most heartbreaking news two parents could ever hear. Our baby girl had 6 weeks left i was 34 weeks pregnant... We decided to be induced that night. I gave birth to our little girl Laylah Ann Reller-Waters July 29th at 11:30 a.m. Let me tell you something there is no words to describe the pain of delivering you baby that is a stillborn. She was so tiny i didn't even have to push. Our baby girl was 4lbs and 18.5 inches long. the average length of a full term baby is 19inches. our baby girl was very long and thin. There is no words to describe the pain and hurt Adam and I are going through. I do not wish this on anyone, NOBODY should ever have to go through this. We had money saved up to take care of her, we decided to spend it all on the memorial service. We bought her the most beautiful urn,. We bought necklaces to put her ashes in, and teddy bears with lockets sealed with her ashes inside for her brothers Christopher and Andrew. She is with all of us now. She is so beautiful looks just like Adam, well more like Kayleigh his little sister. We made her memorial service the best one we could. Adam and I were blessed to have our two little boys there. We both stay strong around our sons. They will know someday that they have a sister up in heaven smiling down on them both. For now we just make sure they know that we love them and we thank god everyday for blessing us with two precious little boys. My son Christopher Thomas and his son Andrew Michael. Although i know Laylah is in a good place i wish she could be here with us everyday.

i can relate to wat you are talking abt..iv just recently lost my baby at 8 months as well..only difference is tht i had mild bleeding first then clots of blood and when they did the ultrasound there was no sign at all of my baby..just a lot of bleeding..up to this day i belive that this was not just a physical thing but more of a spirirtual attack..i will never understand and never get over it..doctors could not explain wat had happend..the loss of a child is so painful

OMG I am so sorry for your loss. ( I cried the whole time reading this and I am still crying now.) I have had 2 miscarriages but both before 12 weeks and those were hard enough I can't even imagine what you are going through. I also have 2 children (who are 25 months and 9 months, so they do not understand) but even so they were my strength when I had my second miscarriage 8 weeks ago.
Again I am so sorry for your loss and my thoughts and prayers will be with you always. xox

OMG! I'm so sorry. I cried while reading this. My mom was pregnant w/twins when I was 18 months old. She was 7 months along when she miscarried. She donated them to science and did not see them and did not want to know anything about them. But, when she had my brother 6-7 yrs later for some reason her doctor gave her the autopsy reports and she then found out that they both had no extremities. they were identical twins. But since she has told me this, I truly believe everything happens for a reason! There might not have been something as obvious as there were w/my mom's twins, but there could have been something else that she is better off in heaven then trying to survive in this cruel world w/any type of "disorder" or "disease".
I myself have had 3 very early on miscarriages, all about a yr apart. Those were hard for me, I don't know what I would have done if I would have felt movement or heard the heart beat. i give you and my mom kudos for continuing on!!! After each of my miscarriages I just held my daughter even closer (which I didn't know was possible!!). When I became pregnant w/my son I was extremely nervous, but forced myself to relax. He some how survived through the stress of my grandfather and 2 close friends passing away all w/in the same month and a half!
Good luck in the future, and just cherish your 2 little boys!

Kassie: I'm so terribly sorry that this happened to you and your family. I had a friend who had an almost identical loss -- she was 32 weeks pregnant and also noticed the baby wasn't moving and learned via ultrasound that the baby was no longer alive. She chose to go home rather than be induced and went into labor a few days later. I know there is nothing I can say to make things better but know that everyone's thoughts and prayers are with you. Take care.

Hi i have had 2 miscarriages one in 2005 i was 8weeks gone, and my second in Dec 2007 i was 22weeks and started bleeding went to the hospital and the placenta had wrapped around my little girls next and strangled her whilst she was moving about, they said this was very rare as the placenta shouldn't be near her till very late in the birth ... we named her Cassy Thompson...
We had a boy on the 19th September 2009 we named him Alfee Edward Thompson he weighed 9lb 5oz... xxx
I have a friend who lost both her children at 34weeks, a little girl then 2years later a little boy, it seams she can't carry above that stage, but the baby isn't strong enough to live outside the body at that stage.

omg thats so sad luv ive lost two babies but not that far into my preggos i feel ur pain but having ur baby move n feel her that would of breakin my heart too chin up luv god has her n just think she was safe from the world n all the bad stuff that is in it n now she is in a better place with god looking after her.she will be watching u guys..she is along with my 2 having loads of fun.i hope u 2 r copping just think if she did survive out in the world she could of had a heart defect n died in ur arms or in her sleep at home.i know god does the most horrible things n there is always a reason. I had my uncle die on the day one of my friends gave birth to her first child thats was so hard for me to be happy for her but i realised my uncle gave life to that little boy she had n the world works like that well thats how i would like to think about it.so maybe ur lil girl gave life back to another kid or something iam just trying to help not affend u if i was futher along in my preggos when i lost them ihave no idea how i would be copping n i think i would be getting theraphy or something i hope if u ever try again ur child is another girl n she is healthy n brings u the happness u derserve. 
