Stillborn


The child was stillborn and was delivered 6 days before the expected due date. The woman shared that she had already begun to sense a problem when she stopped feeling any movement of the baby. After that, she started to have very painful contractions.    

Contractions

The contractions were in no way similar to the contraction she felt before the birth of her other children. However, the woman ignored her hunch and reassured herself that the baby was fine. However, deep down she knew something was wrong. “I just told myself he was sleeping,” she shared on Facebook. “But as the time passed, I felt uneasy about it.”

No Heartbeat

Their worst nightmare came true when they attempted to monitor their baby’s heartbeat. No matter how much the couple tried, they could not sense any movement. Emily, devastated, quickly called her midwife for assistance. A male obstetrician suggested her to visit a  local hospital. “I’m glad he did because I still felt I just needed to give it time but knew in my heart something was wrong.”   

No Idea

Doctors did a thorough examination of the baby and broke heartbreaking news to the couple. Their unborn baby had died in her womb. They needed to pull the baby out of her as soon as possible. This is how she delivered a stillborn. It was sad news not only for the couple but for those people too who were waiting for the birth of the baby. “Yesterday evening we had to hand over our precious child and say goodbye to his physical body forever,” said Emily.

Endless Pain

There was no end to their pain. Emily further wrote, “Our baby has died. Our baby will never come home with us.” “This wonderful rainbow baby we were blessed with has now become a storm in our lives. Finding out your baby died is unfathomable. Learning you have to be induced and deliver your deceased child is way beyond that. My heart instantly ached for any woman that has told me she had a stillborn.”

Not A Smile

The ending of this story was not like they had expected. She wrote, “I truly thought we would be sent home with a smile, telling us to just wait for the arrival of our sweet Emersyn, who was due in 6 days.” “I can’t and don’t want to explain that feeling to anyone. Turning to your husband and seeing him die inside. Seeing him completely break. Seeing your children feel and suffer your pain in front of your eyes. The pain is unbearable.”
