Anyone who’s upset at her for blaming the doctors need to think about how she’s feeling right now. If my doctor said they wouldn’t induce me for 10 days after my due date and my child passes before the doctor will “allow” me to be induced then yes, I am going to blame the doctor. My doctor did ultra sounds every single appointment for the last 6 weeks. He even gave me 3d pictures at every visit after 25 weeks. The appointments were in depth, he was kind, he cared about me and my child. I was induced at 39 weeks and I can’t imagine had my doctor not allowed it and my son hadn’t made it. So no, the doctor didn’t kill her child, it isn’t “his fault” but it makes complete sense why she would speak as if he was partly to blame. But hey, lets make rude comments to a woman who is uploading this to spread awareness and bring comfort to other women who have had to deal with this.
I’m really confused why no non-stress test was done before then?! The doctor clearly didn’t see how Braxton was handling the end of the pregnancy. If he had enough room, enough fluid, how his heart was, etc. :(
Jahlen Johnson there’s lot more risks in being induced , but ten days after due date I never heard unless it’s by Doulas/midwives they wait up to two weeks. Usually all my Obgyns say to wait at least 41 weeks before being induced. 41+10 is usually normal when women go into labor can be long time. And stop comparing your doctor to allow 39 weeks is not normal. Unless something is going on. I have 3 little ones and never my OBGYNs said for 39 weeks they said no way . They wait until 41 week mark
Jahlen Johnson i have a friend who is an attorney specializing in malpractice and damage cases. She has had several cases won that were similar to this one - if there is the slightest risk to the baby after week 32 doctors need to really consider constant monitoring and quick c section. If a baby starts having trouble after week 32 an emergency c section delivers them within minutes (hard on the mother and risk of injuries to her especially bladder and such organs being hurt) and a planned c section takes 20 minutes of having the baby out (plus double the time to stitch the mother back up ). Planned c sections well done are the lowest risk delivery for baby and mother. The problem is doctors - they can supervise multiple deliveries at a time where they don’t do surgery(money factor) where you need at least two doctors fully involved for c section (surgeon and anaesthesiologist). Also mothers not neutrally educated frequently romanticize „natural“ childbirth. That s not their fault it s what society tells us. Truth is in nature a large number of infant dies for all species. Because their is no other way in nature. If women knew that with c section even before the due date a lot of the babies lost could have lived and if our medical system respected this and bore the additional costs for surgery instead of natural midwife supervised delivery many babies could have lived. She is completely right to be angry at the doctors . Again, c section starting from week 32 in case of trouble and after week 36 in any case statistically is the safest way to bring the baby to life and avoid any perinatal damage (that is also far too frequent if mother and/or doctors insist on the natural way even though the baby is coming under pressure ).
when my mother had her stillborn baby the nurse told her that she liked to believe that stillborn babies went to the mothers in heaven who died during childbirth, this gave my mum some peace at mind knowing she was being looked after
kirralea lindbeck That’s such a lovely thought. Also I’m very sorry for your loss, my mom had a stillborn on Mother’s Day 2014 and it was only this year that I’ve truly begun to heal from that experience of losing my baby sister.
@Kai Wong breaks not brakes ??? Why point out something like that after watching such a heart breaking video....dickheads like you really piss me off acting like the grammar police on youtube ....
When she was talking about how some moms smoke and drink yet they still get to take home their babies, I felt that in my heart. I had 5 miscarriages and my ex friend ended up getting pregnant. She was doing drugs, drinking, and smoking. I couldn’t understand how me doing everything right, I lost my baby multiple times and she just got to walk out of the hospital months later with hers. It does suck a lot but hey I’m now 3 days away from being 20 weeks pregnant and nothing bad has happened yet!
Erika Nyberg I’m sorry for your loss. After the doctor told me there was no heartbeat, we were walking over to the front to get me a d&c appt. while doing that he was asking other people how their vacation went. I was so upset.. I’m glad that didn’t happen to you
Being a Nurse Midwife. I can just reassure you, that even if you and your doctor do everything perfectly , stillbirths still happen. That being said, I am so, so sorry for your loss.
I ended up going into labour on my own after 40wks but after 2 days of no progress and my son and i going into distress emergency c-section had to be done. My son was not born alive but thankfully he was revived. He's now 21yrs old and I couldn't imagine him not being in my life. So sorry for your loss and I hope beyond hope that your rainbow baby comes into your life soon.
That's what happened to me. I was 38 pregnant with my lil girl and I had to go for a non stress test and her heartbeat was 140 but the dr wanted her to be move active so her heart rate would go up n down it did a lil but my baby Dr came in and said I would induce her labor but that would put stress on the baby so i said is there a chance I could have her today the dr said yes there getting the or ready now and should be about within the hour I'm like OMG she was 5.5 17inches long Now she's 6.12 19inches long she goes to the dr on september 13th for her 2 month old check up.
My 1st daughter was born sleeping.it was her 31st birthday yesterday.i have 2 other beautiful daughters 19 and 21.your angel will be watching over you.bless you 💖
TheInternet Sucks holy shit! I actually had to re-read that three times cause I couldn’t believe what I just read. You are the imbecile I’ve ever seen in my entire life! I sincerely hope you don’t have any children, and if you do I hope cps takes them away from you.. you lowlife troll!
TheInternet Sucks please let me know how you are. I have shared feelings of wanting to not be here anymore. I am thankful every day, I never made that choice.
Being a nurse myself, when nurses and doctors say "your baby might just be sleeping" or something like that.. it's not being dismissive. You might've felt that way because you were worried but it's our jobs to try and reassure you and be positive also.
T Flores and so many times, baby is just sleeping. These terrible times aren’t as common as snoozing babies or babies in distress. I’m sure the statements she made about carelessness and people not knowing how to do their job is simply coming from a broken heart. Hopefully time will heal that.
Exactly. Imagine if they all went into a flurry and rushed around saying "I'm really concerned your baby might be dead" - you'd be panicking and crying and in shock for however long it would take to actually get a confirmed diagnosis and then to find out it was just sleeping! You can't do that to people, especially 40 week old people.
@@gma904 according to her statements, they said he was probably sleeping BEFORE they did the doppler and US. the medical staff did their job appropriately. it would have been very wrong to have unnecessarily upset and stressed a mother when sleeping could have still been an option at this point.
Exactly. You have to try to be reassuring. You can't just start saying, "Well your baby is possibly dead but we'll know for sure in a minute." Imagine the undue stress on those poor mom's whose babies are just sleeping.
¥oshi Xo i lost a baby at 23 weeks(placenta issues) and I had a 32 weeker in May 2017. She’s my mircale baby, I did over 10 weeks of hospital bed rest and her heart stopped three times and then for some god given miracle as they were doing the ultrasound it picked up again, it was such a beautiful sound and they delivered me at the 32 weeks because of he safety. I feel so blessed. I pray she gets her mircale too! 😭😭😭
gosh. our stories are so alike. I too had a miscarriage i 2015 and became pregnant in 2016...giving birth to my rainbow son i July 2017. still thinking about my sweetheart.
You were blessed to carry Braxton for those 40 weeks, you’ll always be his mommy and just remember he loves you as much as you love him. One day you’ll get to hold him and never let go. Much love to you 💛
I genuinely want to tell all the mums out there who’ve been through this I’m so so so sorry for your loss. I can’t even begin to imagine. You’re so strong.
My first pregnancy was a stillbirth 4 years ago at 39 weeks and it was a healthy pregnancy too. I did get pregnant again and it was considered high risk so I was scheduled to be induced at 37 weeks but my water broke at 36 weeks. I had a baby boy last year and he’s a healthy 8 month old. 💙
Having worked in an ER, they act like it's just a regular day and no big deal on purpose, so you don't get more freaked out. At this point they didn't KNOW FOR SURE anything was wrong, and they didn't want to upset you until you did, even if the ultrasound tech suspected on her way in. I don't say this to make you upset, I say this because acting like it's no big deal, until you know for sure it is, can help patients stay calm on their worst days.
ParasaurolophusLovesCoffee I understand that they do that to help..but when I had a major bleed out at 10 weeks I went to the ER and the doctor told me right away that I was having a miscarriage...she also didn’t seem to know what she was doing as she told me my cervix was open. I had to wait three days thinking I was loosing my baby to be able to see my doctor first thing the next Monday morning...turns out I was bleeding due to a blood clot and my cervix was not open - my baby boy is now 11 months old I was not having a miscarriage. ERs are a nightmare and sometimes the detachment makes things worse.
I had a major bleed out at 13 weeks in the middle of the night while out of town - hubs was on the opposite coast. Had a great, empathetic ER nurse who said fetal heart tones sound great so go to the Ob tomorrow for ultrasound. All was well; that baby is now 10 years old.
... but it's not just a regular day for the parents. It's a traumatic, pivotal time. Acting like everything is fine is patronizing, and I can see why any mother would be offended, angry and upset over it.
I have had 12 miscarriages now. No children yet. I'm in pain daily with the knowledge I will likely never give birth but I am so very, very grateful I haven't ever got past the 2nd trimester. I cannot imagine your pain. I hope you find peace.
Lauren you will! I promise you. Trust and believe. You have the gift of fertility. I watched so many videos and did so much to overcome miscarriage. Reiki, acupuncture, diet. You won’t be the first person to overcome this experience and definitely not the last! I have a baby now! Thank God!! There is a book out there called Woman Code. It’s what to eat to bring you into balance. You need to after yourself that’s the first key and let go of the pain before. It’s easier than you think but the kind is had to escape! Wish you love. Don’t stay I. The dark but believe in yourself! Xx
laurenalrees I won’t say for sure you will have a baby, but you shouldn’t give up hope. And I personally dont ever want to be pregnant, but I understand those who do. Adoption is always a good idea, too. There’s so many children without a home out there.
I will start nursing school next year. Thank you for sharing your story- I will learn from it so that I can be more helpful and more supportive if I encounter a patient in the same horrific situation you were in.
i miscarried 2 times, it was horrible. i’m a very young mom, 17, but as much as that hurt, i can not fathom losing a child at 40 weeks. and even though he’s gone, you ARE a mother. you ARE his mother. ♥️
C H no. the first time was 3 months after i turned 16, but i don’t wanna talk about it bc of the circumstances it was under... i go pregnant by my boyfriend like 5 months after that but miscarried then got pregnant again and we had a baby. we’re married now.
You are not alone. Nov 2, 2017 my daughter Kalilah was born sleeping. Textbook pregnancy and then right at 40 weeks no heartbeat. I couldn’t believe my daughter was gone, I wanted her so bad and was so happy to be her mommy. I told my husband all the time I felt her personality from the womb! So glad to know I’m not crazy. It’s been almost 16 months and I still can’t believe it... but the pain gets a little bit easier to deal with everyday. It’s a roller coaster for sure, but I have grown so much because of her and I’m sure you have too. Braxton has such an amazing beautiful mother and he’s SO proud of you are you kidding? Ugh I wish we could be friends
Our stories are so similar ♥️I’m sorry you didn’t get to bring Kalilah home (I love that name).. I also felt like I knew Braxton’s personality, he always made me smile! He was our best friend, our first baby, and he just meant the world to us. A mother really bonds after spending every single second with her baby for 9 months. Hugs to you ♥️♥️♥️
This has my crying! I have 5 kids, and in 2010 I lost a twin baby girl at 23 weeks, they sewed my cervix shut and my baby boy survived. I never stop giving thanks for him but I never stopped grieving my baby girl, people tell me to count my blessings that I have other kids but it never stops hurting, yes it gets easier because we learn to live with that pain, and it hurts me still. And I agree, babies do have a personality since the womb, and their sleeping patterns, they are born with a preference at which times they sleep and play. I wish you ladies had never had to go through this. I whole heartedly do. It’s a pain like no other. That’s why there’s this saying, when a child loses their mother their called orphans, a spouse their partner their called widow(we) but what do you call a parent who lost a child? There are no words to describe it. 😭😭😭😭
Those hating on her for being angry at the doctors show no respect. I would feel the same way “if only they induced me” “if only they did this” “if only” give her time please
I completely understand her loss and how hard it is to cope right now but i think that understanding that this is the way it was meant to be will help her get through this time a lot easier than simply considering "what ifs". Most times, stillbirths happen and there's nothing the doctor could have done to prevent it.
I lost my twin boys at 22 weeks and my doctor was bawling when he said they had passed. He had been through a lot with us as we struggled with infertility for years and then ended up conceiving our boys completely naturally. It’s been over 23 years and it still aches. We have 13 beautiful children now about it still hurts. Their due date was October 10. My heart aches for you mama❤️❤️
This is heart breaking and beautiful. Did you adopt/foster? I can't imagine going through fertility issues for years and then still going on to have 13 biological children, doesn't seem like there would be time. but congratulations on your big family!
August 31 will be 13 years since I've lost my Baby Daniel. I was 35.4wks pregnant. I didn't find out the reason why he was a stillborn until I was pregnant with my last Alexander in 2017. My doctor told me that hellp syndrome due to not being diagnosed with preeclampsia. My blood became toxic and that affected baby Daniel. Six months after I lost him I got pregnant with my first rainbow baby Donivan he's now 11. I had 16 miscarriages between Donivan and Alexander he's now 15months the year before I had Alexander I had a missed miscarriage (miscarried at 6wks and carried baby until 12wks) Donivan and Alexander are my Rainbows after my storms. I did tie my tubes during my csection with Alexander because of the high-risk factor I have during pregnancies. Some days are better than others. We celebrate baby Daniel's Birthday every year and that has helped me so much with staying positive. #IAm1In4 #BabiesBornSleeping #SleepingAngels #YouAreNotAlone ❤️ Olympia from New Mexico
@@rachelosborne5982 yes 16 it was devastating for me and my family. And finally in 2017 I got my sticky bean Alexander and he was my healthiest and last pregnancy. I'm forever grateful for the two boys that I have.
Braxton opened up a door for you, RU-vid. You’re able to come on here and share your story which is absolutely heartbreaking but it helps other mommas know they aren’t going through this alone and it helps you cope and keep your babies name on forever. You and your family are in my prayers girl, I can’t say how sorry I am for your loss but I can just tell God is going to grant you a good one. With love, Brenna. xo
As women it's a powerful thing when we come together and share our stories. That's when we can support, learn, laugh, love, grieve and grow with each other making the world not such a big place.
As a midwife my heart breaks for you. I always told to my patients to be alert of baby's movements that's the key of the last weeks of pregnancy. Hugs for you
Desiree Cordova this is kind of a shitty comment. You might not mean it this way but it 100% sounds like you’re placing the blame on her for not ‘being alert’ of her baby’s movements. Chose your words more carefully
No I wasn't giving the blame on her because she was a were of the movements I only say us as professionals should give more attention about the education of movements... I never blame her at all
What I wonder is, even if you get to the hospital as soon as you don't feel movement....are they going to do a C sec and resuscitation?! Seems like they don't resuscitate these babies that are term. I don't fully understand.
I was crying the whole time with you and then started sobbing harder when you said the nurse grabbed your hand and told you about the heart beat and then your husband grabbed you. Thank you for being so strong and sharing this. I can see how hard it is but I know it's helping a lot of other women out there.
I am so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine your pain. I can tell you as an RN myself, we may seem too calm or like we aren't taking things seriously, but for our patients it's best to be calm and neutral. I would never give a patient false hope, and I would also never show my fear, and trust me, it's there in any situation like yours. I hope that gives you some comfort that those nurses probably cared but were trying to be calm for you, even though I can't speak for them. Again, I'm so sorry for the loss of your beautiful boy.
I'm 38 and at the beginning of my first (and only) pregnancy. I can't even imagine going through this but thank you for sharing your story, pain, and strength!
@@JamieAug ehrm i was really just curious and didn't mean to upset anyone but you also didn't have to react that way it's a question she can either answer or ignore
I’m 8 weeks pregnant diagnosed with a threatened miscarriage. I know it’s harder to have a stillbirth and go through the entire pregnancy but the pain watching this video. I’m crying my eyes out hoping my baby makes it. I’m so sorry you lost your son❤️ you’re a wonderful mother!
I lost my baby at 8 weeks ..that was my worst night mare and very painful, I cried my lost baby for yrs ..until something inside me told me to let my little angel rip ..it still hurts alottt , but i know God wants me to let him or her keep his little 🕯 on.After loosing my pregnancy I got pregnant right away my precious daughter gaved me the strength to be strong and bring her to this world. I wish I could've been alarmed sooner ..but everything went so spontaneous that after hearing baby heart beat a day before ..Next day around 8 am my bleedimg didn't stop and received the worst news THERE WAS NO HEART BEAT ANYMORE PRAYERS GOING YOUR WAY.FOR A HEALTHY PREGNANCY TAKE CARE .TRY TO REST THE BEST YOU CAN AND STAY POSITIVE .. 👶👶👶👶👶👶 Remeber always have faith Lots of prayers for a healthy pregnancy ..you can do it and 👶 too. Stay strong
d n I am so sorry you lost a little angel! I have an ultrasound Monday to see if baby still has a heartbeat but I haven’t bleed in 4 days. I only bled once. It’s different for everyone though :( thank you for your encouragement! I appreciate that.
Not alone, my sister passed away from a stillbirth 10 months ago at 34 weeks and I miss her a ton and it’s rlly hard I’m here for u♥️ My moms story is extremely similar 🙏🏼
You are still Braxton’s mom, just I am still mom to my two, Natalie & Gracien. From one broken hearted mama to another, I’m so very sorry you’ve gone through this. 😢
I started crying 45 seconds in. My heart goes out to you for making this video❤ as I watched, these doctors and nurses definitely needed to have more of a sense of urgency. I'm so sorry for your loss.
I had a miscarriage march 2017, almost lost my own life, it was my first pregnancy 10 weeks along, and twins at that I never even got to have my first appointment. I never laid eyes on the children god needed back, I was only told by the dr who helped me in the er what was happening💔 I got pregnant again july 2017 with a set of twin girls they were born february 2018 at only 32 weeks. They are now happy healthy 1 year olds❤ There are rainbows after the storm❤ Stay strong you got this❤
Two sets of twins in a row, I think maybe God decided your darling girls just weren't ready for the big wide world yet... He took them back for a little bit but finally gave them to you when it was the right time. They were waiting for you just as much as you were waiting for them! Much love!
I understand your pain. When they told me those horrible words”theirs no heartbeat “ it felt like I had been stabbed in the heart I felt a huge pressure in my heart/chest I scream and kicked my dad and brother had to hold me down in the bed my husband was at work 2 hrs away. That day I died and I became a different person. I see life and things in a whole different way 👼💙😭
Tianna_D’AndresMommy I know the pain in the heart all too well, unfortunately. It is actual pain, like a part of my heart broke. I got pregnant too soon after my first loss & ended up losing my second exactly 9months (to the day) from my first. It was that horrible pain all over again. I went crazy for awhile after. It’s honestly all a blur. I pray no one has to go through that pain & anguish. But life is not fair & none of us that have gone through this are alone.
I had a stillborn on January 15th of this year, by far the hardest thing I have ever had to go through. I hated seeing my husband so upset, but I’m so glad he was there with me through it all. My daughter, Penelope Rose, had bilateral MCDK & potters syndrome. there was no amniotic fluid for her to practice breathing to develop her lungs because she had no bladder or kidney function so she just ingested all of the amniotic fluid and couldn’t replenish it. I couldn’t imagine the pain of going through a normal pregnancy and then having your baby pass away without knowing anything went wrong. I knew my diagnosis would have a 99% chance of the outcome not being good and it was still SO hard. I’m praying for you and hope the pain eases with time, I feel for you. 💗
You're so brave for doing this video. As a Mother of a daughter in heaven, I want to tell you that you are loved and your baby is an angel. Rest in peace, sweet Braxton 💙
Don’t ever feel like you shouldn’t let yourself cry. Cry as much as you possibly need, dont ever take that away from yourself. You’re a beautiful mother and you guys will join each other again someday to make up for the lost time💖
Watching this video as I'm holding my 3 month old son. Makes me realize how blessed I am. I'm sorry for your loss. You will have your rainbow baby. God bless.
Your history is so similar to mine!! The first time I watched this video give me chills. We lost Kenia at 39 weeks and I miss her desperately but I'm sure we will meet in heaven again. Sending you lots of love and kisses. Eres una super mama y Braxton esta muy orgulloso de ti.
This is totally heart breaking. I’m so sorry for your loss. My son was born after 9 days of labor, had to be resuscitated in the OR and had a 5 day NICU stay. I had to beg for a cesarean after 30 hours of pitocin and 9 days of full strength contractions (I kept getting turned away from L&D because my contractions were 7-9 minutes apart, but were excruciating and consistent for 9 days). My son was in distress and they were still reluctant because they don’t like to do “unnecessary procedures” I feel so lucky to have my baby here today, but the doctors and hospital were so dismissive. They put my son at risk every hour that they let me labor, despite my sons heart rate dropping every few minutes. Thanks for sharing your story. No one likes to talk about the bad things that can happen and when your pregnant, it can be so anxiety inducing. It’s terrifying. It does happen though, unfortunately.
My OB made the call to do a c section after almost 24 hours of Pitocin because she was afraid I would bleed out if I kept going on it. I'm so glad she did because my daughter was coming down at an angle and there was no way to know that until she was out of me. I don't know what would have happened if my OB hadn't made the call and I'm glad I never had to find out.
I’m a new mom, my baby was thankfully born healthy after I was induced at 39 weeks for personal reasons. I can’t imagine what you are going through but you are very much in my prayers. Thank you for sharing your story. You are beyond strong and so beautiful. I think it’s great that you are documenting this, your son is definitely looking down at you proudly and lovingly. Stay strong momma!
This had me in tears. My daughter should be turning five on April the 7th. I to went in for decreased movement. My daughter had a heartbeat so we were sent home. Not even 24 hours later I was back because she still wasn’t moving. She still had a heartbeat. While there her heartbeat dropped and they rushed me back for an emergency c-s. She passed seconds before they could get her out. I was a first time mom as well. Suffered infertility for 3 years. I felt so many of the same emotions you shared. I kept telling my husband this was all a dream. I couldn’t stop saying “This is a joke.” Let me see my daughter. Wake me up! It was the worst day of my life. I am so sorry you lost your sweet Braxton. It’s so unfair. First time moms are NEVER TAKEN SERIOUSLY. Prayers to you.
I lost my daughter Amelia at 41 weeks after several years of infertility and ivf so I understand your pain. I am so sorry for your loss. Did you ever conceive again? My Amelia would have been 3 months right now. It's excruciatingly painful and everyday is so hard living without her. I just pray that one day is not so painful.
I lost my daughter Nialah at 20 weeks pregnant due to my cervix opening. She lived for about 2 hours. I felt her heartbeat and physically saw it beating through her chest, felt her breathing. Literally the worst pain in the worst when there was nothing you can do to save your baby😪 I completely understand how you feel, and i dont wish this on anyone else.
There is nothing as hard as losing your child whether they are 2 hours old or 23 years old as in my case. The love you feel is instant and immovable. xx
My daughter too. At 21 weeks she came due to a weak cervix and I didnt know I had a weak one. This happened last April. Im now pregnant with my 2nd daughter and got a cerclage. Ill never forget my 1st baby tho of course
Yo perdí a mi bebé hace unos años , y recuerdo está tristeza que tenía , nadie me entendía ni mi propio esposo , sentía que todos eran indiferentes y la única con dolor era yo. Y recuerdo estar sola en ese tiempo, al menos así lo sentía . El año pasado logré quedar embarazada ( ya que no había podido ) y por fin quedé embarazada , hoy tengo a mi bebé en brazos de 9 meses de edad y me pongo a pensar en la edad de mi primer bebé , aún lo extraño y lo amo demaciado , no quiero olvidarlo nunca
I remember, when I was younger my mom used to call me her little miracle and I just thought it was sweet until I got older and I asked her why she called me that. She told me that when I born, Doctors thought I was a stillborn because when my mom gave birth to me I wasn’t breathing. My mom had recently lost a baby boy before me so losing me was gonna be really hard on her. Doctors said I wasn’t gonna start breathing until about 5 minutes later, I started crying.. I am so thankful to be here today
I've had no interest in having children but the sincerity and pure love I feel when you speak about Braxton shows me the true beauty of being a mother. I'm so sorry, no one deserves this type of pain.
I’ve been where you are. I had to spend the night in labor and delivery and the next morning I went in for a DNC and came out empty. In recovery I could hear the babies, the giggling, proud moms and relatives… At that moment I just felt cold resentment because I didn’t have that. Our baby girl was due November 8 but I was only halfway through my pregnancy. I could not even imagine going to term. However, that same November that she was due we found out we were expecting twins. The following March 18 we had identical twin boys, Jacob and Jordan, 100% healthy. I was dreading the month of November because it was the one year anniversary of my dad passing, and he was my hero. NOW, in the same month that I was dreading my dad‘s anniversary, I had to dread the anniversary coming up of her due date, as well. Even though November had been a double loss it wound up being a double blessing, found in just a flicker of hope. Never lose your faith But never forget Braxton. Please just remember… There is always a rainbow 🌈 after the rain. I’m so sorry...💔
Debra Pena they put me in a different unit, one with no babies, due to me completely losing it after my DNC. My dr knew I wouldn’t have been to mentally or emotionally handle hearing babies crying or making any noise. I am so sorry for your loss.
I had stillborn twins who had heartbeats at a ultrasound 2 days before their hearts stopped beating. Feel free to contact me and we can talk. I’m so sorry.
Vlasta Barac it’s a terribly feeling that unless you’ve been through it you can’t even begin to understand. I completely understand everything she’s feeling. ❤️
Tshimangadzo Mavhungu ru-vid.com_contact?c=1QaaAVG7XBxgbqsUB6nIOIAxTXyP1Q Feel free to add my on contacts on RU-vid friends and talk if you ever need to vent! I will listen I’ve been there I’m here
You are quite possibly the strongest person I have ever had the honor of hearing about. Your son would be so proud of you, so proud to call you his mother, for bringing this kind of information to people who know nothing about it and turning such a tragedy into a way to educate future mothers. You have such a fighting spirit, and I pray for you and your husband to find nothing but love and happiness on your path ❤️❤️
Being pregnant and hearing your story breaks my heart. So sorry for you mama💙 but I’m so happy for your new pregnancy, and praying for a strong healthy baby! God bless you guys!
I am so so sorry about what happened to you and your husband; that kind of pain might be the worst emotional pain a human could ever experience. To give you a little bit of peace of mind, routine OBGYN appointments for a healthy, low risk pregnancy are usually just like you described and of your pregnancy is going smoothly it’s definitely safer to wait for you to get into labor naturally. I was with my SIL when she had a late miscarriage; I accompanied her through the worst moments of her life, held her hand when she got her epidural and took the pictures of her, my BIL and their tiny little baby. I tell you this because, now that she has gotten to the point where she can talk about that day, she seems to remember things a lot differently. Of course, she was in pain and I know (being in the medical field myself) when someone goes through and experience like this and you are the person who delivers the horrible news, when you are the one who is next to them through the worst day of their lives, they might subconsciously blame you and even hate you. That’s totally normal, we all cope differently. My SIL talks about her horrible interaction with the medical staff that day and I can testify how sweet, thoughtful and careful they were towards both my SIL and BIL. My BIL remembers the same.
I am laying down with my 1 year old sleeping next to me and I cannot stop crying because I cannot imagine my life without her. My heart is hurting so much right now and I cannot imagine the pain you must be going through. I am so sorry for your loss 😭 RIP little Braxton 👼🏻
I had a missed miscarriage last month. Everything was going perfect. Went in for what I thought was a UTI at 11 weeks to only find out my baby had no heart beat anymore and baby stopped growing at 9 weeks. I still cry & it still hurts me. I can’t imagine what it feels to go full term. My prayers to you & your family.
I just want to hug all of you who have lost your babies. I had an early miscarriage over a year ago...and that was so tough. It really was. But to carry a baby to term and not going home with that baby, it just breaks me for you all. It's beautiful to see so many women come together and hold each other up during difficult times. Some very strong and beautiful mommas.💜💜
When she said “and the nurse said ‘your baby doesn’t have a heartbeat’” I got chills and I started crying so hard. I’m so sorry for your loss. I won’t say it ever will ever get better but it’ll get lighter, you’ll be okay. I’m sorry ❤️
It’s not that they didn’t care but being in the health care industry you see so many worried mamas come in and nothing is wrong they can find a heartbeat with a Doppler and if it’s an earlier pregnancy then if they can’t find it they do the ultrasound... My heart goes out to you and your husband...
This is so heartbreaking and unfair:(. I'm so sorry that this happened. He will NEVER be replaced, but one day you will be able to love another child , and give them all the love that a mother could give. You deserve to experience that..and you will. God bless.
Big big hugs to you! This happened to me as well. My water broke at 38 weeks and we went immediately to the hospital all excited only to be told the exact same thing...no heartbeat. I was in active labor and could not comprehend what they were telling me. I had to give birth and I thought my daughter would come out kicking and screaming and peoving them all wrong. But no. Most devastating thing that has ever happened to me. I honestly did not know how the sun could have risen that next morning. Or why my heart could beat on and not my daughter's. It's been 6 years and I've never fully talked about it. Bless you for sharing your story. Sending you love
My first son was born sleeping I was 30 years old no signs nothing he passed it’s 16 years this year my heart still broken even though I went on to have my savior Alex my jp will always be my first born ❤️ god bless you please take one day at a time
I watched the video time lapse of your beautiful pregnancy, photos with your husband and all before this video and can't stop crying. I'm going through postpartum depression and seem to always have my mind else where.... I'm a stay at home mom... I haven't cried so hard since my mother's passing.... and reading these comments... I can't imagine anything more cruel than my son being ripped from me in such a way. You remind me to hold my baby much MUCH closer, much tighter, kiss him more, cherish his laugh. Those photos of your baby... I seriously can't handle it... that could've been my son. I get to touch his feet his hands, his lips move, see his eyes.... everything I take for granted... even the cries inthe night I'm BLESSED to hear... I'm ashamed of myself. I ask my son to sit still... I don't think I ever could again. I'm so so sorry....i can't say I'm sorry enough. My heart is ripped from my chest for you.... and these commenters that have had to live past this. My son let out a wail when he started breathing finally after not moving for a minute on his table ... I head sat up waiting and crying... I was so relieved I'd screamed out and cried harder. Doctors thought i was in pain trying to ask where I hurt... I looked at them and all I could say was he's beautiful, he's perfect.... I need to remember that.... I love you, I'm so so so sorry and thank you for making me hold my son tighter. I hope you and your husband heal together and bring many children happily and healthily into our world... and I hope we have the privilege to see them 💚💙❤
And I will add that a Mom who commented is right.. when I was ready to get pregnant again it happened so fast for me, my son is a blessing. I struggled throughout my pregnancy because I had a constant fear that any little pain or discomfort I felt was a miscarriage happening. I also remember telling a nurse where she could stick it when she told me I didnt need to visit the ER or L&D unless I was bleeding. When or if you and Jason decide to have another baby, God will bless you two times over. I had meth addicted parents, almost all my siblings were born high like I was. It's not fair that women who actually take care of their pregnancies loose their babies.. and drug addicts/alcoholics often have healthy babies.. but I dont want to offend anyone. God bless
I admire your strength because I can't even begin to imagine how hard all this had to have been for you and your loved ones and the strength you had to have to record this video you are such a strong woman I am genuinely sorry for your loss may God be with you and give you strength to get you through this heartbreaking situation
I lost my baby boy on October 28,2020 at 38 weeks 4 days. The doctors always told me that everything was perfect. The pain of loosing a child is the worse pain ever, I still cry everyday about my baby. I’m so sorry for your lost hugs..
I lost my baby 5 days ago. She was still born at 36+3 after a completely healthy baby and 2 previous healthy born babies. I understand everything that you stated in this video! ❤️
I hope you get a diagnosis. Babies in utero or any human for that matter don't die for no reason. There has to be a cause. Undiagnosed pre eclampsia, an umbilical incident, an undiagnosed genetic anomaly, etc. For your own peace of mind I hope you push for information. You need to know!!
She was probably farther along than the doctor's thought but you can visually see the placenta changes after delivery and see the calcification so, they should have been able to see the placenta failure...if that was the case.
Tonya Copeland-Stone sometimes there’s “non threatening” calcifications that happen after 37weeks and if she did have some, maybe they probably thought it was nothing and it could’ve potentially been the cause for the fetal demise?
This experience is devastating for you. But this experience already shows how strong you are. Your video already is helping other people acknowledge their pain. Perhaps you should consider Midwifery because you will now have total empathy for the fear mummies feel and be able to reach out to them whatever the outcome is for them. This may be Braxton’s legacy for you - to push you to help others in distress. I’ve seen the ultrasound that looks completely different and had the exact same message about the heartbeat. I had the exact same reaction. I felt every emotion you felt. It is like a bad dream. But you will get through this. I promise. Sending you a hug.
I don’t know why these videos pop up as recommended when I’m pregnant but I will just sit here and cry with the mommies because this is so unfair I can only imagine how hard this is and nobody deserves to go through this I’m glad you decided to share so you can feel the support through the comments my heart goes out to you and I am so sorry for your loss I really wish you the best R.I.P. baby Braxton
I’m sure you are the best mom he could have ever imagined and you still are. I literally cried troughout the whole video...You can feel and see the love you have for your wonderful son. Somewhere up he is building a home and preparing everything to meet you and make it perfect. I am sure he is thankful for what wonderful parents he has and watches everything you do telling everyone these strong people are his parents. Love and strength to you, you’re not alone ❤️
If I walked into a hospital and the doctors started telling me all the things that could be wrong before they knew for sure, I’d walk out. No reason to stress a mother out until facts are known. I know this wasn’t the case for you (and it breaks my heart) but chances a baby is fine is greater than chances that they aren’t. Imagine being on the other side. If your baby is fine and they come in telling you all the things it could be and it ends up being nothing. Hospital staff must remain neutral and always be reassuring.
lisa Timmons was just about to comment the same thing, I think the staff was just trying to reassure her & make her feel better. I wouldn’t want to hear negative things as I’m walking in thinking something is wrong.
I had toxemia with my son at 32 weeks he was due January 28th and I had him December 4th thank goodness I had my dr appointment that day my blood pressure was 186/127 I had no signs I didn’t feel anything . They delivered my son within a hour of failing to bring it down. They told me my son and I both could die if they don’t get him out . I believe all women should watch their vitals at home daily you can buy a blood pressure cuff a oxygen monitor a heart rate monitor at Walmart . Like I said I felt no different that day I had zero signs my pressure was that high. I am so sorry for your loss I couldn’t imagine your pain and I hope god comforts you in this time of healing.
Im so sorry that you lost your baby, I absolutely cannot imagine the heartbreak involved. However, i just want to say that most healthcare professionals are not dismissive in these situations, they are human too and it is their JOB to remain strong and together for the families who are facing tragedy. Allowing their emotions to show makes things very difficult for everyone. Being an emotional nurse or doctor wears on you hard. I have been a nurse for 12 years, and can count on 1 hand the number of times I have allowed a family see tears from me. It isnt because my heart doesnt ache, that im not devastated at the idea of loss, or that I dont have a heart....it’s that your mental health and will continue in your profession from day to day would not last in an over emotional state of mind. It isn’t dismissive, it’s for the best of everyone if the people providing the care keep their composure
I went into labor and gave natural birth to my beautiful daughter Madison Rey Vasquez at 20 weeks on May 23rd, 2019. Just four days ago. They placed her in my arms, she took one breathe and moved her arm towards me and passed away. It was the hardest and the most painful day of my life, physically, emotionally, and mentally. I still wake up each morning thinking she is still in my tummy, only to realize she is not. It's been the hardest days of my and my fiance's lives. But your videos have given us hope and make me feel less alone and empty inside. I just wanted to take the time to say I'm so very sorry for you loss and thank you for sharing your story and helping provide a ray of light for me in these darkest of times. There is now a video on my fiance and my channel JDV TV, we were inspired to tell our side too. Thank you for helping us find light, hope, and a way to grieve. You have helped me more than you will ever know. ♥️
Jasmine, I am so, so sorry for the loss of your beautiful baby girl. Madison Rey is such a beautiful name ♥️ I’m glad that my videos have helped you and your fiancé and I am SO glad that you were brave enough to share your story. It is so important for us to talk about our babies and to share our stories. Sending you so much love ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you so much for sharing your story with us, I’m jasmines fiancé ☝️ this is our RU-vid channel you have given us so much hope and I’m so sorry for your loss and we hope nothing but the best for you and your new baby and we will say prayers for you.
I seriously can't stop crying with you towards the end when you mentioned they didnt find a heartbeat 💔. Reminds me of when they told me they couldn't find a heartbeat. I too was shook. It was a nightmare. Your so beautiful. May God be with you and your family ❤❤❤ From Australia xxx
This is so heartbreaking. I am so sorry. I can't begin to imagine the pain you've felt the last several months. Healing prayers are being sent your way.
I’m really looking forward to your second video. I think it’s important to spread awareness especially if it could give other women important knowledge. I’m so sorry for your loss:( I’m 28 weeks pregnant and I stress about this every single day
My twins died inside me, both had no heartbeat. I feel your pain n I’m really sorry. I’m still grieving , I lost them 2018 and I’m watching you tonight whilst on my night shift and your sadness your pain and your body language brought tears to my eyes.. your a brave lady sharing such sadness. I still can’t talk about my loss so I watch others share theirs. Sending you much love n hugs xx
Oh sweetheart my heart breaks for you. Don’t let anyone tell you you’re being dramatic or people who try to minimize your pain. My 25 year old son was killed two years ago and a piece of my soul left with him. I cherish every moment I had with him, even though I grieve for all the moments we won’t get. The 40 weeks you carried that beautiful angel boy are a blessing to you, I know you’ll cherish those moments for the rest of your life. The bond between mother and child is the strongest upon this Earth. God bless you in your journey to find peace through this tragedy. ❤️❤️
I am sorry for your loss. I am sorry that you felt dismissed and uninformed about anything that could go wrong. As a labor nurse, my worse days are the ones where I find a still born. I carry all of them with me in my heart. There are days that I still cry over those experiences. Those experiences do change your life. For me I chose adopt so to avoid experiencing it for myself. Again I am sorry you had to endure the sorrow that moment brought upon you. Your baby was very lucky to have only known the love you and his father had for him and nothing negative. I wish he had 100 years here with you. Wishing comfort for you.
My heart brakes for you!! I lost my twins, went into my regular appointment and doctor said your babies have not heartbeat. My world shattered into pieces. God bless you
