I am new to this site and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Lynn and my husband is Jeramy. We have been together almost 11 years, married over 5. We struggled for many years never getting pregnant with no reason why. I finally convinced my Dr that something was wrong and I had a laparoscopy in May 2008 which they removed scar tissue and discovered I had a fribroid tumor. We found out I was pregnant just a little over a month later with our dear son Mason that was born March 6, 2009. We waited about a year and a half before wanting a second child and after about 6 months of trying became pregnant again in March 2011. Everything with the pregnancy seemed to be fine. Although honestly around the ultrasound that we found out we were having another boy I started worrying because his movements were not as strong as they had been and I had been feeling him for several weeks. At my last checkup on July 27th my worst fears were realized when they could not find a heartbeat. Our angel Ethan Michael was delivered on July 28th. I just feel so alone and like a shell of a person now. My husband has been fantastic through all this and has tried to convince me that I have to get through this for our son. I am trying my best but I am just so confused. I don't understand what happened and the Dr.'s have told us that even with the autopsy we may never know. I keep blaming myself and hurt so much. I am glad I found this site because it helps to know that I am not alone in this.

Lynn, I am so sorry for the loss of Ethan Michael. This is surely one of the most painful experiences you will ever have to go through. I understand the "like a shell of a person" feeling you describe. I hope you are able to get some answers about what happened. I am thinking of you and praying for you.
Jennifer

Unfortunately you are right you may never have a answer. You have been very unlucky to get that far along and then your little one fly away. Is so heart breaking and I can only say you have come to the right place because all these mums know what your going through. Love to you and your family.

Thank you for all the kind words. It has been a rough few weeks but some days are better than others. Well my Dr. called my husband and I on Wednesday with the autopsy results. Everything was perfect about Ethan but the umbilical cord had a stricture she called it where it inserted into him. She explained to us that it was too narrow there and that is what caused our precious angel to leave us. I am so glad to at least have answers because I really didn't think we would get any. My Dr. says that this is very rare and very unlikely to happen again. However I started looking it up online and now I don't know if that is true. If anybody else has had this happen can you please tell me what your Dr. told you as well? Any answers would be appreciated.

Hi Lynn!
I'm very sorry for the loss of your sweet little one. I think we all relate to how that feels here. I'm new too, but I wanted to say hello.
I don't have any answers for my situation either - that can be so hard to work through when you have no idea what went wrong. Hang in there - we're here for you.
