my nine month journy

janellk - 04:03am Nov 14, 2011 EST

I was shocked and happy to learn I was pregnant. After failed fertility treatments and miscarrages over 5 years ago I gave up hope. I felt great and had a text book pregnancy. at 33 weeks I was put on bedrest due to being 1cm dialated which i was told was perfectly normal. at 39 weeks I was told any day now. I went in to the doctor on october 4th of 2011 (the day before my due date. that day was as usual, got up ate, showered. felt her move all around. 3 hours later at the doctors we talked about being induced and when he checked me he said i was almost 5cm and get to the hospital.
upon our arrival in l&d the doctor came in with and ultrasound machine. my heart sank.... no heart beat. Cassandra Paige was born via c-section on her due date of october 5th. she was 8lb 4oz, perfect in every way. The only reason given was clots in the cord. How could life be so fragile? I miss my angel every day and pray no one has to ever go thru that kind of hurt and pain ever.

Hello,
         Welcome to Share, I'm glad you found the site. I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your Cassandra Paige. It is so hard to be an angel mommy. I lost my son Lawrence when I was 22 weeks pregnant with him, due to a placental abruption. It's been so hard in so many ways, but one thing that has helped me is the other people on this site. At first I read the stories of other mom's, and their blogs, and now I keep a blog of my own. I hope you find some comfort here.

Welcome to Share. I'm sorry for your loss, Cassandra Paige is a beautiful name for such a beautiful baby-girl. My son was stillborn at 27 weeks on 11/22/08, its almost three years. He is very much part of my life and there are days that I struggle, the road is not easy but Share does help. This community has been a lifesaver for me. I hope you can find comfort here.
Hugs,
Trish
