I think you feel very let down by your doctor who delivered your baby but know from a medical point of view that there is only so much professionals can do in the labor and delivery process. We feel awful about losing our littlest patients too. Unless there was gross malpractice or negligence, the United States for all its medical advantages still has one of the highest infant mortality rates. I know that this will be of little comfort to you. The medical community is still learning so much when it comes to neonatal care. We have come a long way but we can improve.
My prayers go out to you. I hope you find comfort in the days to come and get stronger.View Thread


I am sorry for your loss but know this: IT WAS NOT YOUR FAULT!!! I am 45 and just lost my first pregnancy and it doesn't hurt any less at my age. Crying is normal, you have lost something precious. Grieve your loss, it's okay. I am still stumbling myself. I am so tired like there isn't enough sleep. I also know what an isolating experience this can be, it isn't something very open. I hope you find someone to confide in. God Bless You!!!View Thread

I noticed that miscarriages aren't really talked about. Some say they are sorry, others say nothing. It feels like a taboo outside of something like this. Thank God for kind souls like you. I wish you healing too.View Thread
