I am so sorry for your loss Lauren. I wanted to say that the gown was probably made from a wedding dress. I know some hospitals receive donations of used wedding dresses and they clean them and make gowns out of them for bereaved mothers. Lots of love to you guys 💙
Cate the hospital does NOT recieve wedding gowns and make the still born dresses. I just wanted to clarify because credit should be given correctly. I donated my wedding gown to a charity there are numerous around the country. Then they clean and design the infant gowns. This charity was so special to me because I lost my son Noah at 21 weeks and recieved the same box as you Lauren. My son would be 17 today. I still take out his box some days.
I too am a mother to an angel she was 23weeks...every little piece.of memorabilia is precious, shes absolutely gorgeous❤. I actually worked in Labor &Delivery when I was pregnant with my Hannah, and my main focus.was taking care of the babies and families of babies who did not make it. I made 100s of dresses and outfits, the smallest little outfits you could imagine...I did a lot of memory boxes and did feet abd habd prints, castings, hair clippings and photos, never knowing that some day I'd be a momma to angel babies(s) i never got my rainbow baby, but and so happy for your beautiful family on you beautiful rainbow babies...this was a sweet video...thanks for sharing her...❤ BIG HUGS FROM IDAHO!💗🎀🌻🧸
I have been trying to get pregnant for the last 4-5 months. I was being really selfish and saying “everybody is having kids and I’m not” or “why isn’t it happening fast enough” you know typical things. I look at this video and all that really seems small. You have been through so much and you come off so positive and the love you have for your son is amazing. Watching your story is a eye opener, you are still leaning on God and trusting in him although you have been through a lot. I’m gonna lean on God from now on and understand everything happens for a reason & trust in God’s timing. Thank you for sharing this with us. 💙
Gods timing is perfect and He is is still good, even in times like this. Have faith that it will happen for you, and let him know the desires of your heart! I pray that you get pregnant very soon!
Yes yours will come when you are ready. Ps have you tried having sex on the 14-18 that like most womans lucky day. We also finnished deep. Sorry for the graphic response but I suffered a miscarriage before and then this was the winning ticket to my baby. I took lots of ovulation tests to figure out what day was best for me
I loved getting to see this part of you. I’m proud of you for showing so much of your heart. And totally keep private what you want and need to keep private. You’re amazing.
The wee footprints on the patterned paper her right foot is shaped like a love heart. Accident? I don't think so. I have my daughters footprints tattooed on my wrist, she was born at 19 weeks. Sending you love xxx
So many people go through things like this and you're so strong and such an inspiration for sharing your story. Your baby girl would be so proud. God is smiling down on you and I'm sending so many prayers your way!
I too had a born still baby at 22 weeks. She was a pound and a half and 13 inches long. She was beautiful. That was 28 years ago.Her name was Kyle's Kae.
Blair's memory box is absolutely beautiful! After my first loss, I started working my a nonprofit called Our Hearts Align. We offer support and resources to women and families affected by pregnancy and infant loss. We also give out care packages to women who have gone through loss. It's a beautiful source of support and I'm proud to be a part of it. ❤👼🏻
Oh such cute little footprints. I would definitely put that in a frame so sweet and tiny. Sorry for your loss. Hopefully all will go well with your new pregnancy again 💕💗💐
so sorry for your loss! the dress would have been an angel gown, people donate their wedding dresses to be made into gowns for little babies who didn't make it. i donated my wedding dress not long after i lost my son. xx
I’m sorry for all you have gone through. I’ve been there too. I had 15 miscarriages before having my son at 26 weeks and then his death 5 days later. This was 21 years ago. I’m not a religious person but I do believe in some higher power and the in the day of his death halfway across the world in China my first daughter was being conceived. We then went on to adopt another amazing baby girl from China and I can’t even begin to describe how amazing they are. How incredibly lucky I got. You are very lucky to have this channel. I wish I had a place to talk about what I was going through before them. You are such a sweet, strong, and resilient woman. Your little girl is going to have a great mommy!
This makes me so emotional. I am so sorry for your loss, Lauren. She was a precious gift from God and now she is with Him having a blast in Heaven about to celebrate her 3rd birthday ♥️ God bless your sweet family!
I'm saddened and have no idea how you both must have felt going through this. I miscarried starting my second trimester but its not a comparison to what you have went through - but gives me definitely a great understanding of that type of loss as a mom. Its such a deep personal loss of a child no matter if something was wrong with baby or it was a random act of God for what reasons he may have had,that loss is yours ,deeply personal and it breaks a part of you no matter how much time passes, you never forget there is someone missing from your family and life you didn't get to know. It almost hurts so bad that you shut down parts of yourself in protection. Its a blur going through it , and it changes you. Its terrifying to get pregnant again and dare to hope you will get more than a "hello goodbye" with your child. Bless your little girls memory and know her little spirit is with you still in many ways and one day you will get the time to get to know her on the other side that you didn't have with her here. Sending thoughts and prayers for you,your husband and family .you are so brave to share her story that will help others maybe finally go to the place they shut down and try to find healing from seeing you go through it as well. You have helped me as well process again the loss and appreciation of children I do have and keep the hope that we do get through things like this by feeling connected to others who have walked this broken path before and found their way back to a better path healing us over time. Thank you both for sharing Blair's story ❤💗❤
A lot of the gowns are actually made from woman’s wedding dresses which are donated for this cause specifically. We have one here in my town. I love this video and think you are so amazing for sharing your story of your daughter. I can’t imagine the pain that must bring. I’ve gone through multiple miscarriages none resulting in a pregnancy past 12 weeks but any loss is hard. So happy you guys were able to have your rainbow baby who can grow up knowing he has a big sister waiting for him in heaven 💙
Sending so much love your way! I'm sure this was very hard to do, but I'm so glad you were able to share this! It gives me hope that one day I might be able to be more open about our losses. I still have a hard time looking through our boxes, let alone letting others see. My husband and I have lost 2 little boys, our first at 17w1d in April 2017 and our second at 21w in March of 2018.❤
I am so sry for your loss. She was so tiny and beautiful. Memory boxes are a beautiful thing. Ty for sharing with up. Love and prayers your way. Your prayer blanket is gorgeous .
I have experienced this Times have changed and there is so much more support for moms that exoeriencei the loss of a child at any stage of development Heartbreaking to lose a baby. Hope you get your rainbow baby. I did.
I am so sorry for your loss. Blair is in heaven watching over you guys. Loosing baby is so difficult to endure. I understand how hard it is, I've had 2 stillbirths. One at 34 weeks and my last pregnancy my son was born at 28 weeks. He unfortunately had potter's syndrome and I knew he wasn't going to make it. The month after finding out his fatal condition he passed away. Sending you so much love . My God comfort and give you strength💕
At 19 weeks, We found out that our little girl has Triploidy. I am now 27 weeks and the doctors are still astonished every time I go in and she still has a heart beat. I have been researching what to expect and reading all the triploidy stories and testimonies I can. Thank you for sharing. It has been very hard for me.
In regards to the dress, there are organizations that take donations of women’s wedding gowns and make them into outfits for stillborn babies. I had a miscarriage at nine weeks, and that was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to go through. I can’t imagine what it’s got to be like to lose one later on in the pregnancy. My heart goes out to you and all of those out there who have suffered the loss of a child at any age. It’s the worst feeling ever.
First I want to say I am so sorry for your loss. She was so precious & tiny. You did a beautiful job sharing her story. From my heart toy yours much love. She will forever watch over your family
You are such an amazing woman, I am so sorry for you and Corey’s loss. You are so brave to come out and share Blair’s story with all of us, it makes me appreciate you guys and what you do so much more. ❤️
Always remember that the kids which are extremely precious are called back to the heaven ❤️❤️ love you girl! You’re so strong, i too remember losing 3 siblings of mine but everything happens for a reason and I’ve now understood it..
I am so sorry for you loss. I also lost my baby girl at 22 weeks last year in January. I had incompetent cervix so I went into labor early with her the NICU here doesn't like to do things for babies unless they are 24 weeks so they were just preparing us the whole time that if she came at any time than she will not make it😔. She lived for almost 2 hours and it was so hard to see her gasping for air 😢. We also have a memory box for her. We have all her ultrasound pics, and DVD of one of her ultrasounds from the high risk Dr Office that's when they found out for sure that I had short cervix. We have the clothes the hospital put her in which was like a little knitted sweater/dress, and a knitted beanie. We also have her hospital bracelets, a ton of her hand and feet prints, the hospital even made molds of her hands, feet, and face. They also put the tape ruler in there as well. And we have her blankets that they wrapped her up in. We also have the extra service brochures that we had for her. And the condolance cards that people gave us from church. The mortuary here was so sweet the guy that helped us actually paid for her tiny urn which is a beautiful white butterfly and the cremation was free. I'm so happy and blessed that I have all those things to remember her by.
Thank you for sharing!🙏🏻 those tiny little feet are so darn cute. What a special box, I think that is such a beautiful idea to have all her little memory’s in there. Prayers for healing mama💓
Some women volunteer to make little gowns for little angels from used (donated) wedding dresses. I had always heard about that, never really understanding why (I live in Italy and here people don't do that), but now unfortunately I see😔 so sorry for your loss guys💔
I have a special box as well for my son Noah lost at 22 weeks. This helped me, watching you go through it with such grace. My loss was 3 months ago so I’m no where near this but I will be. Thank you.
I’m so sorry for you... I’m only 21 years old but I always knew I wanted children. My parents always told me that any child is perfect and that they only wished for their children to be healthy and I never really understood what that meant. A few years ago I started learning more about pregnancy, how birth works, what could go wrong and all such stuff. About a year ago I was starting to watch other types of videos, like yours... By that time I started praying for healthy children and I hope just soooooo much that my babies will all be fine and that no other mother has to go through that awful feeling.
I don’t usually comment but we just lost our baby at 15 weeks due to triploidy and Holoprosencephaly. Watching your video makes me teary eyed. It’s nice to know someone else who had a similar situation. Everything you have is so special to remember her !
Lab1996 user 1 I’m so sorry for your loss. I’ve never heard of Holoprosencephaly, I’m going to google it. I love everything I have to remember her! I hope you have some treasured items as well!🖤
I have a blanket the hospital gave me and a bear and pictures and ultrasounds of course ! I believe the Holoprosencephaly was just a part of the triploidy, the brain didn’t develop right or seperate into two sides. And thank you for your condolences:)
The hospital where I live does the same thing, they gave a a hand painted box with things to remember our baby who we lost at 16 weeks... they even host a funeral service and burial for parents who’ve loss babies..
Ultrasound pictures are light AND heat sensitive. You may want to have them scanned into your computer and put on a thumb drive, as well as having photocopies made. Do NOT laminate them (some people do, only to have them turn dark yellow or black).
They actually handmake those little dresses out of women’s wedding gowns that they donate to baptize babies in the hospital if the parents wish to have that done 😭💗
Re: little dress, those are usually made from donated wedding dresses by a group of women who specialize in making dresses for deceased infants, either still born or born too early for survival.
People make those special little gowns for people who experience loss. They are handmade from old wedding gowns. Im so sorry you went through this. :-(
I’m soo sorry for your loss Rest In Heaven to your baby Blair May God bless you Hope you feel better I will be praying for you and Corey and your family Hope you feel better prayers to everyone that lost a baby my condolences to you and your family 🙏🤍8:10 she looks soo beautiful 🤍Your soo strong such a cute video 🙏🤍💞
I lost a baby to triploidy in October 2019❤️ we found super early and passed away at 10 weeks. I never knew the sex but I believe in my heart she was a girl 💕
I'm so sorry for your lost I understand how you feel I lost my son at 23 weeks to still birth and. That was back in 2016 and I got a box too and now our son would be 2 years old now
It will be 2 years in april that i had my misscarage , i still wonder what if everything was diffrent , was it a boy or a girl . How the baby would be like would the baby have my looks or dad’s . I have a 1 year old little boy now & i wonder if they would have been bestfriends ugh this month sure is hard 😭
🦋 I was supposed to get my daughters blanket she was laying on in her bed (I don’t like the word coffin) but because I had held her for a little over a hour before everyone arrived for the funeral actually started she got stuck to the blanket so she didn’t fit in the small urn we bought but only 2 tablespoons didn’t fit, so we placed those ashes in the garden that was for babies born under 20wks so some of her was with her brothers and sisters that I had miscarried earlier in life. But we have the rest, iv been told so many times to scatter them by family, but I can’t and never will. 🦋 After having Angel even tho I had my boys I was still walking around in a daze, I couldn’t be at the dr surgery while a baby girl was there, I couldn’t walk into a store like target and be near maternity or girl clothes. 🦋 I couldn’t even go anywhere near my sister inlaw when she was pregnant nor could I go near my only niece that is 7 this year - in the last 2yrs iv been able to be near my niece. Were you like this? Were you told to get over your daughter? Mother’s Day was the day after the funeral n my family and us went out for breakfast even tho I wanted to stay at home and my own mother said these exact words then I stormed out and texted my hubby to get the boys to go to the beach to clear my head n it was better then some stupid breakfast crammed into a club. Anyways she told me “ Grow up and move on, you have 2 boys, so be thankful for them” 🦋 My Hospital put our daughter in a dress I had bought her from the doll clothes section. 🦋 We had Angel Blessed at the hospital 🦋 My hospital even gave me a pic after they finished the autopsy obviously all stitched up. 🦋 We can only do the best we can, even though we have kids at home it’s no easier then someone without children at home. 🦋 I had a Facebook page but was reported for nudity in pics where every pic I shared she had her dress on or was wrapped in a hospital sheet with a beani on, so I was told to take the page down. Angel had a extra finger on her Left hand and a extra toe on her left foot. As she took a breath they classed her as a SIDS baby to, My waters broke March 1st 2010 n I was on weekly hospital visits, as by the 23rd April 2010 she was working hard to stay alive by recycling the fluid that was left around her we didn’t know we were going to have her 3 days later but we had a letter saying that as she fought so hard that we both agreed to let her go and not be resuscitated if she didn’t come out breathing and that we will let her go n be in peace. By law if a baby born after 24wks will be resuscitated but a DNR can be in place under severe circumstances and ours was severe.. so we decided the breath she took would be the only one Thank you for sharing your story with us, I like that there is someone out there that knows exactly what we went and are still going through. Iv had no one be all this time. I bet Angel & Blair are best friends in Heaven and watching over us every day. There’s a saying “ If you do not need me but want me then I won’t be there, but if you want me but do not need me I will be there” Thank you #laurenself
oh my gosh she was so tiny. until i started watching your stuff about blaire i had never heard of tripoidy and man thats a horrible series of defects they get! did she have neural tube or brain involvement? so its 100% fatal? is it genetic? what makes it 100% fatal if it is? is it just cuz its so many defects at once? do they know what causes it? sorry for all the questions just im still kinda confused lol.
In Triploidy it’s 100% fatal because the child is formed with 3 full sets of chromosomes instead of the usual 2 sets. With that many extra chromosomes it makes one incompatible with life, because a Triploidy baby can have anywhere from 40-50 defects at any given time. She did not have neural tube defects, I don’t know if anything was wrong with her brain but with her specifically her bones were not forming properly and her heart was twisted in her chest.
I am so sorry for your loss Lauren. I wanted to say that the gown was probably made from a wedding dress. I know some hospitals receive donations of used wedding dresses and they clean them and make gowns out of them for bereaved mothers. Lots of love to you guys 💙
Cate the hospital does NOT recieve wedding gowns and make the still born dresses. I just wanted to clarify because credit should be given correctly. I donated my wedding gown to a charity there are numerous around the country. Then they clean and design the infant gowns. This charity was so special to me because I lost my son Noah at 21 weeks and recieved the same box as you Lauren. My son would be 17 today. I still take out his box some days.
That stillbirth is still alive. 😉
I too am a mother to an angel she was 23weeks...every little piece.of memorabilia is precious, shes absolutely gorgeous❤. I actually worked in Labor &Delivery when I was pregnant with my Hannah, and my main focus.was taking care of the babies and families of babies who did not make it.

Dear if you cry it's perfectly ok. My condolences to you and love to you.
Her footprints. My heart. 👣 PS: the “lamp burning out” was probably her.
I agree
Me too! The timing is too perfect for it not to be 💗
My daughter was stillborn only few weeks ago. I'm really stuggling. Sending lots of hugs and prays for you xx
Be strong and take each day as it comes sweet blessings xx
Hugs 2 u
Soo sorry for your loss praying for you and your family 🙏🤍
I loved getting to see this part of you. I’m proud of you for showing so much of your heart. And totally keep private what you want and need to keep private. You’re amazing.
Thanks mama 🖤
The fact that the lamp burnt out while you were talking about her kinda gave me chills.. ❤️
The wee footprints on the patterned paper her right foot is shaped like a love heart. Accident? I don't think so. I have my daughters footprints tattooed on my wrist, she was born at 19 weeks. Sending you love xxx
I kept everything for my twins just like you did. So beautiful 😍
I’m so sorry. Watching you inspires me to be strong like you.
8:10 Blair had twin?!.
So many people go through things like this and you're so strong and such an inspiration for sharing your story. Your baby girl would be so proud. God is smiling down on you and I'm sending so many prayers your way!
I literally cried this whole video. Lauren you and your husband are both so strong❤️❤️

How could u not remember a lot ??? I've lost and couldn't forget that day ever and it's been 20 yrs and I still cry
Maybe the medicine she was on ? She was tired ? 🤷🏻♀️
I’m sorry for all you have gone through. I’ve been there too. I had 15 miscarriages before having my son at 26 weeks and then his death 5 days later. This was 21 years ago.

Just a tip: take HD photographs of your ultrasounds or scan them, then you will have them forever 💕
Also try Memorybox 🕯
Sending so much love your way! I'm sure this was very hard to do, but I'm so glad you were able to share this! It gives me hope that one day I might be able to be more open about our losses. I still have a hard time looking through our boxes, let alone letting others see. My husband and I have lost 2 little boys, our first at 17w1d in April 2017 and our second at 21w in March of 2018.❤

Thank you for sharing this! All the details just really brought out the sweetness of her memory.
I am so sorry for your loss. Blair is in heaven watching over you guys. Loosing baby is so difficult to endure. I understand how hard it is, I've had 2 stillbirths. One at 34 weeks and my last pregnancy my son was born at 28 weeks. He unfortunately had potter's syndrome and I knew he wasn't going to make it. The month after finding out his fatal condition he passed away. Sending you so much love . My God comfort and give you strength💕
The white dress is made mostly from donated wedding dresses. I'm pretty sure they're called Angel dresses
I marvel at your strength ♡ This brought back many memories for me. Our daughter was born at 25 weeks.
At 19 weeks, We found out that our little girl has Triploidy. I am now 27 weeks and the doctors are still astonished every time I go in and she still has a heart beat. I have been researching what to expect and reading all the triploidy stories and testimonies I can. Thank you for sharing. It has been very hard for me.
In regards to the dress, there are organizations that take donations of women’s wedding gowns and make them into outfits for stillborn babies.

You are so calm, you can tell you have healed even though it still hurts your heart! Thanks for opening up with us! ❤️❤️
Thank you💗
Usually those dresses are made out of women’s wedding gowns and donated by women who wanted them made!
I'm so sorry for your loss.
The dresses are handmade from donated wedding gowns. Volunteers make them for the babies who pass or are born sleeping.
You are so strong! Blair is a lucky girl to have you as her momma 💕 all your memories of her are so precious.
Thank you 💗
Sending so much love your way mama ❤️
Thank you 💗
First I want to say I am so sorry for your loss. She was so precious & tiny. You did a beautiful job sharing her story. From my heart toy yours much love. She will forever watch over your family

And what is that reason for stillbirth? 😲

The mortuary here was so sweet the guy that helped us actually paid for her tiny urn which is a beautiful white butterfly and the cremation was free. I'm so happy and blessed that I have all those things to remember her by.
You are so strong. This video is beautiful, thank you for sharing ❤️
My sincere condolences
Thank you for sharing!🙏🏻 those tiny little feet are so darn cute. What a special box, I think that is such a beautiful idea to have all her little memory’s in there. Prayers for healing mama💓
Thank you! I love having the box. I need to put it in a safe or something because I never want to lose it or for anything to happen to it!
Some women volunteer to make little gowns for little angels from used (donated) wedding dresses. I had always heard about that, never really understanding why (I live in Italy and here people don't do that), but now unfortunately I see😔 so sorry for your loss guys💔
Those little foot prints ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Much love to you Lauren. I love that you share Blair, that must be somewhat healing for you. xo
I have a special box as well for my son Noah lost at 22 weeks. This helped me, watching you go through it with such grace. My loss was 3 months ago so I’m no where near this but I will be. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing Lauren ❤️ sorry for your loss
What a beautiful video. Thank you for sharing.
I’m so sorry for you... I’m only 21 years old but I always knew I wanted children. My parents always told me that any child is perfect and that they only wished for their children to be healthy and I never really understood what that meant. A few years ago I started learning more about pregnancy, how birth works, what could go wrong and all such stuff. About a year ago I was starting to watch other types of videos, like yours...
By that time I started praying for healthy children and I hope just soooooo much that my babies will all be fine and that no other mother has to go through that awful feeling.
You are so strong and such an inspiration ❤️
Bless your heart! Thank You so much for sharing your precious gift💖💖💖💖💖💖
Such a beautiful video! Thank you for sharing💜
I just stumbled upon your channel and I just want to say that you are such a strong person. Sending lots of love to you and your family ❤️
I helped with babies r born too soon .the dress probably a wedding dress that was made for tiny ones.was very rewarding.❤sorry for your loss.
I don’t usually comment but we just lost our baby at 15 weeks due to triploidy and Holoprosencephaly. Watching your video makes me teary eyed. It’s nice to know someone else who had a similar situation. Everything you have is so special to remember her !
Lab1996 user 1 I’m so sorry for your loss. I’ve never heard of Holoprosencephaly, I’m going to google it. I love everything I have to remember her! I hope you have some treasured items as well!🖤
I have a blanket the hospital gave me and a bear and pictures and ultrasounds of course ! I believe the Holoprosencephaly was just a part of the triploidy, the brain didn’t develop right or seperate into two sides. And thank you for your condolences:)
Take all the time you need ♥️ this makes my heart hurt so much. Blair is so loved 💕
Yes she is 💗
beautiful video! im so sorry for your loss Lauren! You'r one strong momma!!
The hospital where I live does the same thing, they gave a a hand painted box with things to remember our baby who we lost at 16 weeks... they even host a funeral service and burial for parents who’ve loss babies..
So sorry for your loss.
My husband and I also lost our daughter at 22 weeks. We are still trying to figure out her full diagnosis. Hugs
I am sincerely sorry for your loss ...my heart ❤ and prayers goes out to you
Ultrasound pictures are light AND heat sensitive. You may want to have them scanned into your computer and put on a thumb drive, as well as having photocopies made. Do NOT laminate them (some people do, only to have them turn dark yellow or black).
Qaa A@
😞😩 i was already crying as soon as i saw her foot prints 🙁 you are so strong mom may god bless you and corey and brody 😘
Thank you so much 💗💗💗
They actually handmake those little dresses out of women’s wedding gowns that they donate to baptize babies in the hospital if the parents wish to have that done 😭💗
Re: little dress, those are usually made from donated wedding dresses by a group of women who specialize in making dresses for deceased infants, either still born or born too early for survival.
Liebe Lauren , sorry so much for your little baby 😘 alles gute für dich und deine Familie
People make those special little gowns for people who experience loss. They are handmade from old wedding gowns. Im so sorry you went through this. :-(
praying for you and your family through this hard time ! 💙

You should put a thin paper between the the ultra sound pictures

I was 25 when i was first pregnant. I hardly had the baby for a month and i lost it. I had a miscarriage back in 2018 in November
The dress was made from a wedding dress!!
❤️
For her little gown some women have their wedding dresses turned into little gowns for little angles and donate them to hospitals
🦋 I was supposed to get my daughters blanket she was laying on in her bed (I don’t like the word coffin) but because I had held her for a little over a hour before everyone arrived for the funeral actually started she got stuck to the blanket so she didn’t fit in the small urn we bought but only 2 tablespoons didn’t fit, so we placed those ashes in the garden that was for babies born under 20wks so some of her was with her brothers and sisters that I had miscarried earlier in life. But we have the rest, iv been told so many times to scatter them by family, but I can’t and never will.
🦋 After having Angel even tho I had my boys I was still walking around in a daze, I couldn’t be at the dr surgery while a baby girl was there, I couldn’t walk into a store like target and be near maternity or girl clothes.
🦋 I couldn’t even go anywhere near my sister inlaw when she was pregnant nor could I go near my only niece that is 7 this year - in the last 2yrs iv been able to be near my niece.
Were you like this?
Were you told to get over your daughter? Mother’s Day was the day after the funeral n my family and us went out for breakfast even tho I wanted to stay at home and my own mother said these exact words then I stormed out and texted my hubby to get the boys to go to the beach to clear my head n it was better then some stupid breakfast crammed into a club. Anyways she told me “ Grow up and move on, you have 2 boys, so be thankful for them”
🦋 My Hospital put our daughter in a dress I had bought her from the doll clothes section.
🦋 We had Angel Blessed at the hospital
🦋 My hospital even gave me a pic after they finished the autopsy obviously all stitched up.
🦋 We can only do the best we can, even though we have kids at home it’s no easier then someone without children at home.
🦋 I had a Facebook page but was reported for nudity in pics where every pic I shared she had her dress on or was wrapped in a hospital sheet with a beani on, so I was told to take the page down. Angel had a extra finger on her Left hand and a extra toe on her left foot.
As she took a breath they classed her as a SIDS baby to,
My waters broke March 1st 2010 n I was on weekly hospital visits, as by the 23rd April 2010 she was working hard to stay alive by recycling the fluid that was left around her we didn’t know we were going to have her 3 days later but we had a letter saying that as she fought so hard that we both agreed to let her go and not be resuscitated if she didn’t come out breathing and that we will let her go n be in peace.
By law if a baby born after 24wks will be resuscitated but a DNR can be in place under severe circumstances and ours was severe.. so we decided the breath she took would be the only one
Thank you for sharing your story with us, I like that there is someone out there that knows exactly what we went and are still going through. Iv had no one be all this time. I bet Angel & Blair are best friends in Heaven and watching over us every day.
There’s a saying “ If you do not need me but want me then I won’t be there, but if you want me but do not need me I will be there”
Thank you #laurenself
My daughter was born with two pinky toes conjoined on both feet
💖💖💖
What was the reason as to why she was stillborn?
❤❤❤
oh my gosh she was so tiny. until i started watching your stuff about blaire i had never heard of tripoidy and man thats a horrible series of defects they get! did she have neural tube or brain involvement? so its 100% fatal? is it genetic? what makes it 100% fatal if it is? is it just cuz its so many defects at once? do they know what causes it? sorry for all the questions just im still kinda confused lol.
In Triploidy it’s 100% fatal because the child is formed with 3 full sets of chromosomes instead of the usual 2 sets. With that many extra chromosomes it makes one incompatible with life, because a Triploidy baby can have anywhere from 40-50 defects at any given time. She did not have neural tube defects, I don’t know if anything was wrong with her brain but with her specifically her bones were not forming properly and her heart was twisted in her chest.
Lauren Self oh my gosh thats horrible i cant believe a condition like that is possible! im so sorry
My daughter had a extra finger on her left hand and a extra toe on her right foot
Would you try having baby again ?
