Dear Parents,
You've just received devastating news - there's something wrong with your baby, and your dreams of the perfect pregnancy, delivery and baby are shattered. You may now be faced with days or weeks, even months until your baby's birth and wondering how you will cope, what you will tell others, and how you'll manage through labor, delivery and the aftermath. If you have other children, you may wonder how this will affect them; you may even worry that you will lose them too.
Please know that you are not alone. With the increased use of prenatal testing, many parents find themselves in this situation. We hope to provide you with some suggestions (all from parents who have been there) on how to make it through your pregnancy, delivery, and what follows.
If you've recently given birth and learned your baby has a fatal problem, you may be faced with many decisions you've never considered before. You may find yourself planning a funeral before your baby has died and wondering what's wrong with this picture. Should you take your baby home to die? Should you walk away? Such painful and difficult decisions!
We don't have any answers for you, but we do have suggestions from parents who have traveled a similar journey. Hopefully, we can help you plan your baby's last few days and hours with love and dignity. We'll hold your hand and cry with you. There's joy to behold through the pain. Let us help you find it.
Hugs,
The Waiting With Love Parents
