It is such a dificult thing to go through. I had our daughter Anna stillborn at 25 weeks four years ago. We too went in for our 20 week ultrasound and had the bomb dropped in our lap that something was not right. My amnio reviled that she had triplody, which is a complete extra set of chromosomes. Even though I know that just like your little guy, she would not have survived past birth, it still hurts every day. Iti s so cliche, but time does help to heal, and eventually you will feel like you can breath again. Take it one day at a time. Cry when you need to cry. We are all here for you :) -Lori I’m so sorry for your loss. It is such a dificult thing to go through. I had our daughter Anna stillborn at 25 weeks four years ago.

When going through my own loss I know my older son, 3 yrs old at the time, got me through every minute of the day. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Your story is so beautiful and so heart breaking at the same time. YOU are a beautiful person! And your husband sounds like a really exceptional person as well. Your son must be such a precious and beautiful soul in heaven! I have read many of the stories on this site and yours was one of the few that has brought tears to my eyes. I can relate to your story in many ways. We also lost our son after a perfect pregnancy. Not only did we mourn our boys but the thousand dreams we had in our hearts for them. The first year is the hardest. Your heart will heal. Prayers for peace and comfort for you and your family! Oh Nicole!! Your story is so beautiful and so heart breaking at the same time.

There is no preparation for losing a child, even when you approach with caution. I think you are an amazingly courageous woman. I know stories of women who have lost multiple pregnancies and then delivered a healthy baby. There is always hope. We must believe in a higher purpose for these events. There is only so much that we understand about life. Stay strong. Keep writing. It is a gift, not only for you but for the world out there. Blessings.

Your story caught my eye because the day that you were bringing your little man into this world we were burying our baby girl. She was born on August 13th, 2011 at 29 weeks and 1 day pregnant. I had a placental abruption and she lost too much blood. Our hearts ache for her every day and every moment but our hearts are full of the love and the joy that she brought us for those 7 months. So sorry that you have to endure this pain and I will be praying for you and your husband and your entire family... Your story is heart breaking…I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet little guy.

And I had to read the last paragraph a few times - Gideon was my boy's name, he went to heaven last year. I don't come across many Gideon's :) xx I’m so sorry, I cried while reading your story, it took me back to losing my own son. removing life support is so difficult and yet it shows such strength and how great a parent you truly are.
