Thanks everyone for all your kind words, our post mortom came back today and because i have a bicorunrate uterus they have said that lillys placenta didnt implant properly but im thinking it could be meyabe to do with the fact the midwife told my consuktant 3 times i needed baby aspirin and he never gave me it, also in the report it mentions lillys cord as it was up over her shoulder and round her neck, they said this caused swelling to her head and neck tissue. xx

Exact same thing happened to me 2 years ago. I was 15 weeks and went in to find out the sex, and was devastated when he couldn't find the heartbeat. I was so heartbroken. I had no signs whatsoever. No pain, no bleeding, nothing abnormal. He then sent me to the hospital to have a 2nd ultrasound done to make sure of it. At the hospital they said that the baby had a birth defect growing on the back of it's neck causing the baby to stop growing and failure of the heart. 2 days later I had to have a d&c done. It was the worst time of my life. I couldn't sleep, couldn't eat, wouldn't socialize with family for quite a while afterwards. I wanted that baby so bad I just wanted one person in my life that I knew I could love unconditionally and who would feel the same for me, cuz everyone else in my life had walked out. I was put on xanaxs and anti depressants. I asked myself why did it have to be me. Why did someone who wanted a baby so much, who was looking forward to the midnight cries and dirty diapers have to lose it before they even had a chance to know what it was like. When there is parents out there who just dump their kids off to any and everyone not giving a rats *** about anything but themselves. But then I realized god has a reason for everything. He needed that baby in Heaven with him. Maybe he knew something that I didn't at the moment. Maybe he knew I wasn't quite ready to be a mom yet. Either way, I knew there was a purpose for it, even though I hated it. I am not 35 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby girl and I am beyond excited and anxious to meet her. I'm sorry that it happened to you. That is a type of pain that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. It's so hard to understand why it happens, but just know God has a reason for everything. You'll have your chance to be a mommy one day, but until then you have a beautiful angel baby looking down at you at all times.

I lost my baby girl in 2010. I was almost 6 months pregnant. She had knots in her umbilical cord. I know exactly how you are feeling. I had to be induced. I got to hold my little princess and take pics of her. I'll NEVER forget my angel but it does get better. I am 37 weeks today with a healthy baby girl. I am so sorry for your loss. If you need to talk please message me.
