Tonight, my sister-in-law informed me of bad news. One of our girlfriends is in sorrow and her husband. They are supposed to have a diagnostic ultrasound to know the gender of their unborn baby today. The result was not that they are expecting to be heard. According to their doctor, it has been 1 week since the infant died in her womb. It was revealed with no heartbeats today. This candle is for him or her. How would you react if you were in her shoes?

I do agree with that. My family and I believed that people who passed away are our angels now, as my late father.

It is a bad heartfelt feeling for being in this kind of situation for a mother. She had her first child and supposedly the second one. Thank you for your concern. Please do pray for them.

I am sorry to hear this. My lovely mom had experienced this before. Unlike her, she is 5 months pregnant and still waiting for the medical procedure to happen.

She just thought there is nothing wrong a week ago. Actually, she is blaming herself because she felt like a menstrual cramp last week and ignore it.

How very sad, I hope that as a couple they can remain strong and support each other during this very difficult time. Although I delivered both of our children, one of my pregnancies was high risk as the baby stopped growing 2 months before I delivered.

@LadyDuck Actually, she is 39 years old. I missed one detail that she is a hypertensive woman. We suspected that it is a result of preeclampsia.

That's very painful for any parent. During my elder sons delivery my and the baby's life was in danger. Both of us were not expected to survive. Miracle happened and both of us are safe today. I have grown old and he has grown up.

I also believe in miracles. For them, I personally think that it is not the right time to have this baby. God has his own plans for each one of us here on Earth.

Yes, she did. I am not sure if it is the causative factor because she got the vaccines before getting pregnant.
