Dealing with death of baby Reznor
« on: January 17, 2009, 09:48:05 PM »
Reznor David Thompson was born and died on Dec. 15th 2008. I was 22 weeks pregnant with my little angel. Within 2 day's I went from perfect pregnancy to having contractions and being told your amniotic fluid is infected and we have to induce labor. It has been 32 day's since we lost our baby and he is all I think about. I am on anti depressant's and anti anxiety medicine. All I want is him back. I did hold him and he was perfect looking. He looked just like me! He looked perfect just very small (of course). He even had fingernails! I just don't understand why? My Dr. can't give me any answers how,when or why my amniotic fluid got infected. I am going to go to a specialist when my husband and I are ready to try again ( I had a miscarriage a year ago at 10 weeks and now this).
Some day's are o.k. and some day's I feel so sad and hopeless. I have a wonderful husband and family that support me. I never thought this could happen to me. Sometimes I just don't know what to do with myself. I know I will never forget my first son. I just want answers so I can have some acceptance. Does anyone have any advice or hope? What do I do with myself? I know there is a saying that say's "Time heals all wounds" I don't know if I believe that anymore. I am just really sad and hopeless right now.

Amanda, Just read your posting from 1/17. I want to express the great sorrow I have for you and your family.  There really isn't anything to say, because it is all so horrible and painful.  But sometimes it helps a tiny amount to know that others care, and that you are not alone.  My daughter and son-in-law also just experienced the loss of their second baby on 1/21.  Precious Elianna was born at 22 weeks 3 days after a very difficult pregnancy.  She was taken to the NICU and everything possible was done for her.  However she only lived for 16 hours.  My first grandchild was born at 18 weeks 3 days on 12/28/07.  That was a difficult journey, but this will be even more difficult. Those feelings of hopelessness are there.  We do have our belief in God, and I hope you also have that belief.  But right now even that is difficult.  I told my daughter that I hold onto the hope that God will call each of us back to Him.  May that happen for you also.  I'm so sorry for the loss of your two precious babies. You will always miss them, but I'm sure there will be other joys in your life to surround those holes in your heart. And I'm thankful that you have a wonderful husband/Daddy to your babies, and family to walk with you.

Thank you for your comment. I am sorry to hear about your daughter and son n law. Life is getting slowly better. Last night I actually slept for 11 hours!!! I haven't slept like that since my sons death on 12/15. I am setting goals for myself everyday to get out of the house and do more. I am hoping to go back to school in March but I got dropped out of school because I didn't get my medical note to them in time. I am hoping to talk to admissions today and tell them what happen and why I didn't get my medical note to them in time ( you would think they would understand ). 
Anyway I was wondering if they knew why your daughter is having problems? Are they going to keep trying? I am still trying to get some answers about this infection I got. My Dr. (who I am not going to see anymore) say's "It just happens". I am sorry but that is not good enough for me or my husband. My family and I decided that I should go to a specialist when Josh (husband) and I are ready to try again. We are thinking 5-6 months.? I am going to get all the test I can get before we try again that is for sure. Does your daughter go to a specialist? Did she get tested before she got pregnant? I didn't but I don't know if they would of found anything?
Like I said early I am so sorry about your family's loss also. Let your daughter know she is not alone. Also if you don't feel comfortable answering the questions I asked don't feel obligated to answer them.
