I was induced after not feeling movement and an ultrasound confirming he had died. His name is Brian Benjamin. He was 4 lb 13 oz and 19 inches.
The doctor could find no sign of cause of death, but said due to no mec in the amniotic fkuid it was fast so: I could not have gotten to the hosptial in time, no matter what and , he did not suffer.
I am getting lots of hands on help here, and lots of support from church. Our newest pastor spent a lot of time with us and she came at 5:30 AM to bless him.

Thanks I need to get offline and just be with my family, but all your thoughts and prayers mean so much.

I remember when a very similar thing happened in my family, and we lost my baby sister. I've never seen anything more difficult for my parents to deal with. Our prayers go out to you.

Oh, dpr, I am so, so very sorry. I know that none of us can take the pain away, but please know that I'll hold you and your family in my heart and thoughts. I hope you find peace. And I'm sure Brian was beautiful, and I *know* he was loved.

When I was laying down to go to sleep I couldn't help but think of this thread and my own family's situation. My family lost a daughter a couple of years before I was born. She lived for 2 months and suddenly died of SIDS. My family of course was devestated. It sounds like you are among family, which is the best place for you right now. I don't think my mother let herself greive, not for a while. She blamed/s herself. Her father reinforced this. She went through a very tough decade after my sister died because should couldn't believe that it wasn't her fault, she couldn't let it go.
I just wanted to remind you to give yourself permission to greive and to be able to fully accept that it was *not* your fault.
Best wishes (((dpr&family)))
