    My husband and I tried to get pregnant for 13 months so when it finally happened we were so excited. I had 2 children from a previous marriage and never thought anything could go wrong. I was having a normal non eventful pregnancy I was in for my prenatal visit at around 18 weeks and all was well. I was so excited to get to that 1/2 way point when your chances of miscarrying and other problems get lower. When I left the appt that day they had scheduled me for my ultrasound July 10, 2008 at 8am. I was so excited the day before and the baby was so active. That evening while I was getting ready for bed the baby gave me a very big kick. The next morning we got up for the ultrasound and we taking my children with so they could be there when we heard the sex of the baby. My mother in law met us there which turned into a blessing. The tech called us back and asked the routine questions and I didnt think anything was wrong.I had no problems baby was moving the day before. So as she start the ultrasound she was acting very weird and then she stopped and walked out of the room. She brought the Dr back in and he said he was sorry but our baby has died. I felt like someone ripped my heart out. I never thought this could ever happen to me. I delivered my baby girl Layla Scarlett at 2:55 am July 11, 2008. At my check up with the Dr after this awful day. He told me we could try again as soon as I wanted. So we ended up pregnant again soon after. But miscarried our 2nd baby. So he told me to give my body atleast 3 months to heal and try again. So In March 2009 we found out we were expecting. So excited I called the Dr right away they got me in to start my care as soon as they could. They did several ultrasounds every other week to make sure everything was growing properly. They did bloodwork and full workups. Everything was going great. As soon as I would hit 20 weeks they would do monthly ultrasounds to keep an eye on the baby. I was at the Dr at 12 weeks and got to hear the heartbeat it was fast and strong and they reassured me everything was going great and it was. The morning of my 15th week I woke up with some cramping I told my husband that I thought something was wrong. But with all that happened so far everyone thought I was just worrying to much. i went to work that morning and soon after I got there I started bleeding. I called the Dr office right away. They brought me in that afternoon. The Dr checked me didnt think anything was wrong. But said she was going to get an ultrasound to just make sure all was ok. Well once again no heartbeat my baby boy was gone. No one till this day can tell me why. I think that is the hardest part I'll never know why any of this happened. And I cant do it again. Im not strong enough for anymore heartbreaks.

    The first time I heard 'Held' on the radio in my car I sobbed all the way home. It puts such a poignant voice to the pain of loss and the comfort of knowing that God is just a prayer away. Thank you for sharing your story and in doing so, giving comfort to all of us who have lost a child due to miscarriage or stillbirth. God bless you.

    I am soo sory for your loss. Just two weeks ago my husban and I loss our third child almost identical to your story. I was alarmed because I had not felt movements that day.And just like you I was told to go to the hospital. They were unable to find his heart beat.

    Words can not express the way that I feel and I don't know what my future holds right now. Your story gives me a little more hope and I'm thankful for you. I wish you and yours the best.
