The Original Post and Photo
With all this talk of abortion right now, I want people to know that
this is what a 22 week old child looks like. This was just minutes after
my twins passed away after living and breathing for about 30 minutes
last November (Chase, the one on the right, looks different because he
was in the sac without amniotic fluid for a couple days). It is legal to
abort children at this age in way too many places. While I was holding
my babies, wishing they would survive, babies at the same gestation that
could have survived are being torn apart and discarded or sold. It
makes my heart sad. There are so many better options (adoption being my
personal favorite). These are precious children of God. I love you Chase
and Cooper, and I hope someone will see this and reconsider their
choice.

So sorry about the loss of your sweet babies. I was also diagnosed with an incompetent cervix and had to spend 10 weeks on hospital bedrest. I just wanted to inform you of a a surgery I had. It's called the transabdominal cerclage. I was able to have a full term baby with no bedrest. Join abbyloopers if you are interested. There is a lot of info on that site. I'm a big advocate for this surgery and if I can help at least one person from the heart ache of loosing a child or multiple children, I will be happy. Prayers to u and your beautiful angels!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing Chase and Cooper with us. My heart grieves for you. Thank God you know they are in Jesus' arms, happy and healthy now. I shared your post on FB. I want everyone to know these are babies, not blobs of cells.
ReplyDeleteI can't say thank you enough for sharing your painful story.
So very sorry for your loss. Yes, you will see those sweet babies one day. May God watch over you and your family. I do wish that adoption wasn't so expensive for parents to adopt.

ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for your lost. I know how it feels like.
ReplyDeleteSorry your babies didn't make it. Thank you for standing for "life" God will bless you.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss. My twin sons were born between 23 and 24 weeks. Adam was 1.9 pounds and Matt was 1.10. Adam passed away after 13 days after a galant fight. My other son Matt is now 17 years old about to enter his senior year of high school. He is perfectly healthy after jumping every hurdle; 3 months in the NICU and several years of what might happen without the proper therapies. He had every therapy and he has absolutely no repercussions from his prematurity. They were both beautiful; Matt is still quite beautiful inside and out. I am sure Adam is watching over him and us, and quite possibly gave Matt all of the fight Matt needed to survive upon saying good-bye. Matt almost died twice, and the first time, was the exact time his brother passed away.
ReplyDeleteI heard many stories of younger babies, and babies that weighed less, surviving as healthy as Matt is. Thank you for sharing your sad experience and pain. I wish you much love and peace and will remember you, your twins, and all babies and families of babies that struggled to survive at birth, regardless of whether they survived or did not survive in this world. They are alive and watching over us and are with us, in my own personal belief system. God bless.
Deep condolences to you. I also lost my son at 41/2 months. He died in the womb because my cervix was not strong enough and my water broke. Unfortunately the cerclage didn't hold. I got to see my baby and hold him before the nurse took him away to who knows where. I was so devistated that I didn't think to ask if I could bury him. There are alot of questions I have as this happened many years ago and I am just now remembering more of what happened. One memory that I have is the doctor put a tablet in my uterus to make me go into labor. I think she said it would help terminate the pregnancy? Im so mixed up and my memories are all jumbled about. I guess it doesn't matter anymore. It was 8 years ago. Thank you for sharing your story and again I am so sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteChristina I am sorry for the loss of your son. I am sorry, it sounds as if you were in a stressful situation which in retrospect would be a confusing and terrifiying time for anyone. The love you had for your son is all that matters, really. I am sure that he understands. <3
DeleteSo sorry for your loss. I too lost an infant at 23 weeks gestation but my dates were off. We expected a tint infant and when my son was born he was the size of a 28 week infant. My doctor had no intentions of saving him and took him away as soon as he was born. I will never know if he was,alive or a still born but my heart tells me he could have been saved. I still grieve for my son Nicholas and he would have been 20 years old now. The pain never goes away, you just learn how to live with it. Every February 14th I celebrate his birthday!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for the loss of Chase and Cooper. I admire you for allowing them to be born, and I thank you for sharing your story.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless you and thank you for sharing your story. Your little guys are in heaven with Christ, but they are still here too.. In every heart that is touched.. Every child that is saved.. In every young woman that chooses life for her child. They were gifts to the world. Thank you for sharing them with all of us.
