I am so very sorry for your loss :( I wish so much that this hadn't happened to you. I lost my first daughter, zoie when she was stillborn 5 days after her due date in 2010. Losing her was the most devastating thing that could have ever happened to me. I found out after she was born that I had had gestational diabetes. Many people, including my second daughter's doctor who I had in 2011 have said that If my doctor had done her job correctly my precious zoie would still be here. I had gestational diabetes with my second daughter too and with the help of insulin and lots of appts she made it here safely. I will never forgive that doctor. She took the most precious thing from me, as yours did you. I have had a tough time with this. I have so many what ifs, like what if I had picked a different doctor or asked more questions. But like you, we had no idea this kind of thing would happen. Were supposed to be able to trust doctors, their supposed to be the experts. I only hope that your doctor and mine will get what they deserve someday and that we will see our little ones again someday. My thoughts are with you. Your not alone ♥
