She had been getting cramps and they were thinking that it was time. Yesterday morning she express some concern that she hadn't felt him move for a while. He suggested that they go to the hospital just in case. When they got there, there was no heartbeat. They don't have explanation yet and I'm not sure why I want to hear one, but I do.

It is so heartbreaking as we have been buying gifts for little Duncan. Last Christmas my family loaded her up with baby gifts and I got my son a manly style diaper bag. Everyone has been anticipating his arrival and now it's this.

I don't now what to do. I hardly slept at all last night. It was all I could think of. I feel so bad for my son and his daughter-in-law. She is a pre school teacher and has really wanted kids of her own for a long time.

I'm not sure why I'm writing this but I guess I thought that maybe sharing it might help.

Anyway. thoughts and prayers for my son and daughter-in-law would be appreciated. Thanks for letting me unload.

So sorry to hear this story, heartbreaking. Stay strong for your family.

I am so sad to hear this. Know that our family cares and will be praying for all of you.

So sorry to hear this, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
The only reason I'm here on Earth is that my mother miscarried 2 years before I was born, but she was committed to trying again. Sometimes God works in mysterious ways. If your family decides to try again, I pray they are rewarded with a beautiful, healthy baby.

So so sorry. There is then you can be sure to do for them. My sister back in the 70s and my daughter in the late 90s both lost full-term babies. Neither were allowed to grieve were expected to go home and not act like they had just lost a child. So for both your son and daughter-in-law make sure they are allowed to feel as horrible as they should and take the time they need. It never goes away but hopefully they learned to go on. With the right support they will unfortunately we didn't understand that at the time.

Praying for peace for you and your family during this difficult time.

Having been through something similar, I'm crying for all of you It does (and will) get better I promise. Prayers and hugs to you and your family.

Prayers for you and your family, Doc. We are expecting our first grandchild in March, and so far everything is going great. But this is every potential grandparents nightmare.

I understand the feeling. We lost six babies in a row, and then a set of twins, all at 30 plus weeks. It's heartbreaking when your baby is at a viable age. The worst was people always tell you, it's for the best, or there will be more, God only give you what you can handle, and you should just try again.

Even though some are trying to help, comments hurt you to the core. Its difficult to understand how your son and daughter are feeling.

Be supportive, it's a process, time may ease the some pain. It's hard not to blame yourself, support groups may be an option. My thoughts are with them and you.

[Barefoot]

I'm very sorry for the heartbreak you and your family are facing. Prayers for all.

[tedquick]

So terribly sorry. Thoughts and prayers for you and your family.

It is one of the most difficult times for everyone when a baby is lost. I am so sorry for your family. May you find peace in knowing God has a plan for each of us, even when we really don't understand the plan...
