Heartbroken doesn’t begin to describe the pain you feel when your doctor tells you that she can’t find a heartbeat on baby A. At 23 weeks we could see him moving kicking and jumping around. We even got this amazing side by side of both of them in the same ultrasound picture. And than four weeks later I am being told it was a freak accident, they aren’t sure what happened but now I need to carry both these babies until at least 34 weeks.

The second worst part about all of this was having to call my husband to tell my husband I had lost a baby. We weren’t sure why and I felt horrible. He rushed from work to the doctors appointment. When he got there, no words can describe the pain we both felt thinking about a birth and funeral at the same time.

NO PARENT SHOULD OUTLIVE THE LIFE OF THEIR CHILDREN. NO PARENT SHOULD HAVE TO CELEBRATE A BIRTH AND A DEATH AT THE SAME TIME!
