I experienced a stillbirth at 40 weeks with my first pregnancy. I went into labour and baby’s heartbeat was fine until it suddenly wasn’t there.
Does anyone mind sharing their experiences of birth following a still birth, I’m anticipating hospital would encourage induction or elective csection but i want to labour naturally. Any experiences?

Hey im so sorry for your loss i lost my daughter at 30+ weeks its the worst pain ever no mom should ever have to bury their own child 💔 im here if you need a chat i know how hard it is 💗

Oh mama 🤍 .. I know exactly how you are feeling. Please feel free to message me 💔

So I had a full term still birth it started like your but the cord wrapped and the monitor came off for his heart but when I spoke to them they said if I wanted or if they felt baby was in danger next time around they'd send me straight to c section but I could labor naturally again if I wanted to and it shouldnt cause any issues next time around

Also I now have a 5 year old daughter i lost her sister in 2018 due to medical negligence, i knew something was wrong but nobody would listen to me.. she stopped growing at 21 weeks 😭😩i then fell pregnant with my second daughter 2020 I was totally terrified my anxiety was through the roof thinking the worst I knew I couldn't handle it if I lost another baby) so I tried my hardest to think positive I gave birth to my 2nd naturally and at 37+2 days because my mental health was really bad as you can imagine and we also needed to make sure Bella was safely delivered and there would be no problems 😊 fast forward to now she is 5 years old, healthy apart from a heart defect that wasn't picked up) happy and such a lovely caring little girl ❤️ 😍🥰🥰 miracles can happen but we have to give our bodies long enough to heal otherwise the same thing could happen again mama 😭🥺😢😢🩷 I hope your okay!
