Thank you ladies for your kind words... I have two boys 5 and 6 and are my life... but when my baby was delivered via c section and did not make it.. a little part of me went with him.. I went through life like a zombie... my routine breakfast lunch dinner.. school..bedtime. constantly hiding so my boys wouldnt see me cry... im here because all my family/friends are against my pregnancy therefore feeling lonely and scared with no words of encouragement. ... thanks once again ill keep in touch ☆♡☆

First and foremost...I'm sorry for your loss. I cannot say I know how you feel but I understand your fear.
Try your best to relax and not stress about something that is out of your hands. Eat right, try light exercise, take your vitamin and stay away from cigarette smoke. I read an article about a study that showed exposure to smoke  made your chance of still birth higher. And like the above poster stated did the drs figure out what might have caused it? That could play a big part in prevention. This site is awesome for support. Post here often and anytime you start feeling that anxiety. I'm sure you will go on to have a normal healthy pregnancy/baby:)

Hey honey my heart and prayers are with you. Although I didn't carry to term my first daughter was stillborn at 22 weeks long story short my water broke at home and her cord prolapsed. It was the hardest thing I ever had to do delivering a baby who didn't make a sound and say goodbye without getting to say hello. Fast forward 2 years and got pregnant with my now 3 year old best friend . With extra care from the docs she came just 4 days before she was due. If I can give you any solace please know your feelings are normal its okay to still be grieving its okay to be scared. But the flip side to that is its okay to be happy again and to let yourself except this new baby(just from personal expirence not trying to put words in your mouth it doesn't take away from your angels memory to let yourself look forward instead of looking back) please know that happy endings are possible. Make sure your docs keep a really close eye on you and take a lot of deep breaths. I want you to know that someone is on your team as I'm sure all of the wonderful ladies on this forum will be. If you need a friend I'm your gal. Take care sweetheart and please keep us posted :-) prayers and hugs xoxo

I haven't been through this but I can understand your anxiety. Try to relax and take care of yourself. Are you seeing the same Dr as your last pregnancy?  If not make sure your Dr knows about it. Do they know why your baby was stillborn?
