my partner and i recently lost our baby boy. we found out that his heart had stopped beating 2 days before my due date and i gave birth to him on easter sunday. we called him kody and the midwife said he looked perfect and was a healthy 8lb 4oz and 58cm long. we are devastated. i am just terrified it could happen to us again. i want to try for another baby in the future but dont know when it is safe to start trying and what are the chances of this happening again?

im so sorry for your loss, but i guess if you tried for another baby in the future they would or should keep a closer eye on you and the baby.
i lost my baby girl on the 27th march i had a bleed behind my placenta which pushed my placenta off my wall, i was 39 weeks she lived 6 days. she weighed 6lb 10oz and was 50cm.
i hope you and your partner are doing ok x

my heart with you

My heart with you babybecks, I had stillborn baby 3 weeks ago just 3days before my due day she was a beautiful litlle angel. I am worried too about trying again I don't want to experience same thing next time it's very hard to lose a baby, but i heard they said each pregnancy is different.
I thinking to buy heartbeat monitor and be able to use it for my next pregnancy.
All the best just take it easy and thing positive.
