My cousin's baby died. She went to the Dr. and there was no more heartbeat, they told her she miscarried. I feel bad for her because all of my relatives are saying that it's a blessing in disguise b/c her husband has no job and she already has a 1 year old and only a part time job, so financially they probably couldn't support another baby, but I guess I don't see how a baby dying is ever a blessing. I don't see her much, but I'm sure she's devastated because children are her livlihood. They are really good people and Leah has been so excited about starting a family. Please say a prayer or give your baby an extra hug.
 
Oh I am so very sorry. :(

I hope your cousin is able to find peace at this very difficult and sad time.
 
She went to the Dr. today. They removed everything from her and sent it to a lab. I guess the baby would not have survived. It was either not growing right, or it was not even a baby, but something left over from her first pregnancy that the body treats as a new pregnancy, eventually turning into a cancer. Either scenario is very sad.

Thanks for your thoughts.
 
:( :hug:

I never agreed with the 'for the best' philosophy either. It's your baby, it died, and it's sad. Money should never be held as a factor over a life. I'm very sorry.
 
This is so sad, it happened to my sister-in-law when she was about 4 months along, that traumatic enough on it's own but then to have a D&C afterwards, just horrific :sad: Praying for your extended family's peace and comfort in this difficult time :hug:

Yeah, that's what my mom and I were saying. I'm NOT a squeemish or emotional person, but I could barely stand for my mom to explain it to me. :(
