:cry: Today is a sad day. I just found out that one of my friends just lost her baby. I hadn't talked to her in a while. And new she was due soon.
Well she just imed me, and told me she lost her baby. She said that she felt alot of pressure, and went to the hospital, the doctors sent her home numerous times. And then at home, she lots of blood come out. So she went to the hospital, and the baby was dead, no heart beat. She said something about placenta coming loose or something. I feel so bad for her. She showed me pictures of the baby, the baby so beautiful. Little boy.
So now she is suing the hospital for mal practice. So do you think she will win this case? I for one would be horribly upset and ticked off if it happen to me. Plus the fact her due date is today. WHen I had kailey my due date was june 14th, but i had the flu so they induced me on june 4th. I can't believe the dr would just make her go home. And why couldn't they figure out that was going to happen? Ughhh im sorry, im just really upset about this. And I feel so bad for her, she didn't need more loss in her life. :cry:
 
Im sorry your friend lost her baby. unfortunately it does happen and its not always someones fault. I hope she gets through this alright.
 
Tiff I am very sorry to hear about your friend losing her baby! My cousin juust lost her baby on Dec. 30th when she only had 4 weeks left of her pregnancy. The same thing happened with her...the placenta pulled away from the wall of the uterus. My cousin is very fragile mentally to begin with so I pray everyday for her to get through this. This is just a sad situation all the way around..the situation of the poor health care in this country is also to blame because the insurance companies rule the roost(so to speak) and that is why they send alot of women home when they are in labor because insurance will only cover so much time in the hospital..heck people barely spend 24 hours in the hospital anymore...It is just sad!!!!
 
I'm sorry to hear she lost the baby tiff. Being an RN, I know these things happen often. As far as her suing, I can't give any advice, since I'm sure that is more to the story. My prayers are with you.
 
So sorry for her loss. These things do happen and even though it is very sad; it's nobody's fault. The medical field has taken so many hits from law suits that there are fewer and fewer doctors that will deliver babies. It is a risky time for moms and babies and there will always be bad outcomes that just happen and aren't the fault of anyone. Please just give her a shoulder to cry on. It will take time
 
My cousin had something similar happen to her ~ she just felt the baby quit moving a couple of days before she was due. When she went in that day she was told that the baby had died. She had to deliver the baby knowing that it was already gone. He was beautiful also ~ head full of dark hair and almost 9 lbs. They never did find out what was wrong or why it happened. It is so hard to handle, but sometimes things happen and no matter what doctors do they can't stop it.

I am so sorry for your friend's loss Tiff! Tell her that I will be praying for her and her family! We were in such shock after my cousin lost her baby and I know what she felt ~ she will need her friends now more than ever. She might be trying to focus her grief on sueing to get away from the mourning, but it won't work ~ just be there for her when she needs you. So sad!!
 
Well update. She hasn't talked to me since then. So I have no idea what to say. SO Im just letting her be. I think it would be horrible to lose a child. SO I guess she just needs space.
 
I am so very sorry to hear of your friends loss. She might not be speaking to anyone because, she could still be in shock or denial. I lost my 2 month old in 1999 and it is horrible pain for any parent to go through. I could have sued the hospital if I had enough money for the lawyer but, he wanted $1,000 up front and I didn't have it. My daughter passed away because, of the hospital nursing staff.

Ok, this brings back some sad and upsetting memories and I already had a discussion last night with dh about it so I am going to stop now. Let her know that you are there for her when she needs a shoulder, maybe take her some dinner or something because, she might not be eating or up to cooking. I was forced to eat, my family brought meals to us for over a week.

((((Hugs))))
 
:sunny: When something horrible like that happens to a friend, it is up to her friends to make contact and show support. A true good friend knows when you are hurting and is there for you.
The is a terrible tragedy and Miki is absolutely correct about contacting her and perhaps bringing in some food.
