still birth

How many of you have experienced this. I would like to here your story's . I was one week from my due date when my baby was born sleeping. Not too many complications just a lot of blood when I would have sex with my bf. Drs said it was normal to bleed but it's not. Do not believe them . If you bleed while or after intercourse do not keep having it.

Just rememeber it's NOT your fault! Don't blame yourself! Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes it's one of those things that's just out of our control and there is nothing that could've been done differently to change what happened...

I had a stillborn in October 2013 at 8 months due to Trisomy 18. Had my rainbow baby in December 2014. It's tough at first but slowly gets easier...

Yes, I too am very sorry to hear about the loss of your baby.  Often women do bleed during pregnancy and it does not correlate to a bad outcome at all and ends up being a non issue.  It's really scary when it happens though.  Has your doctor been able to do any testing at all to determine why the baby was still born?  Know that when this has happened, women do often go on to have a normal delivery in the future.  But I'm sure you are worried.  Talk to your doctor about possible causes hon.

Again, so very sorry you had to go through that!  peace and hugs

I'm so sorry for your lost. I just lost my twins today and idk what to do. I just keep thinking what if I would have done this or what if I would have done that. Tomorrow was my due date and I was supposed to get induced at 6pm. My heart is so heavy, I feel like I'm worthless and I failed them both. I had everything set and ready for their arrival. I had a silent placenta abruption, rushed to the er this morning got there and found out I was 9cm and my water had already broken. Before I knew it I was pushing and almost an hour later they were here and it was silent. I was crushed :( after 9 long months this happens. I got to hold them and bond with them for a long time, moments I will never forget.

Wow sorry for you ladies lost I always fear of still birth this is my second child and I always fear that I'm doing too much by myself with no help that she is going to get stressed or wrap herself with the umbilical cord I have 7 more days til my c section and I want her out so bad cause I get so scared cause that's how my mom lost my unborn brother she was cleaning up after my dad and his family they had her on her knees all the time and she was just always trying to please them even when me and my sister told her to stop she started bleeding but thought it was normal because his family kept telling her oh they bled too then she finds out baby wrapped the cord around his neck and died so I always fear that would happen to me because I take care of my first by myself and I'm always cleaning or something and working hard I'm on my leave now though but I cnt take a leave from being a mother lol when you have a still birth how do you know to go get checked out what are the symptoms or do you just always bleed and that's the hint

I'm sorry for ur loss Hun I understand ur pain. Hope u not having he same DR again. I also had a stillbiirth last year August at 38 weeks it's was a girl after 2 boys I lost her due to my waters leaking I was thinking it was the normal discharge v get in pregnancies it didn't even click in my mind it could b waters. I'm 34+5 weeks now with a rainbow boy I always have a fear of same thing happening again. The DRs r keeping a close eye on me now n monitoring me every week.  So I'm hoping everything goes well for me this time round. They have told me they won't let me go past 37 week mark as I have a history of preterm labour.

That is so weird for them to say that ... Every time I go to my appointment my doctor would ask if there's any bleeding and if so to go in or call ....I'm really sorry what your going through no one should ever have to go through that
