Part 1

Three nights ago, I was sitting around watching TV waiting to feel Claire move. I thought about the last time I felt her move and wondered just how long it was. I started drinking some apple juice and waited. Nothing. I poked, pushed and prodded. Nothing. Just an odd bump, I thought that was her so I relaxed a little. I went to J and told him what was going on, he thought maybe she was asleep, babies do sleep at some point. So I silently prayed everything was fine and told J that if she didn't get really active we were going to get assessed at L&D.

We went in about 2 hours later, since she didn't move. We went in, the nurse asked me when I was due, I told her the information and told her why I was there. She started to look for the baby's heartbeat and only found mine. After a half hour of trying she called my Dr. Ultrasound came up to check for the heartbeat and that's when they told me Claire was dead.

My baby girl is Dead.

I hope when you feel stronger, that you return here to let some of the hurt out. No words can adequately convey the pain and emptiness you must be feeling at this time. I am so very sorry for your loss. There is a strong support system out here for you, should you feel you need it. Sometimes, finding an anonymous ear who has been there and will listen to your anger at the universe,can help you to feel a little less alone.
I'm very sorry you had to go through this.
