I know you hate this word, but I am so sorry for everything you have been through!!! I wish Gabriel was here with you. He should be. Don't blame yourself! We all entrust our care to our doctors. Also, you had already had so many scares before that turned out okay, so i can see why you were waiting it out a bit. Anyway, I am going to keep reading, but I had to comment on this post. I was just horrified that that you were treated taht way, giving birth without medical assistance. WTF!!!<br /><br />And you did give birth..to a baby...your baby...Gabriel...and you should have been able to hold him and savor every second you had together.Candicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17619153520569896825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164515774162371836.post-78489412083810314792009-09-09T17:23:36.048-05:002009-09-09T17:23:36.048-05:00I am so sorry for the loss of your son, Gabriel.

Furious! You absolutely did not have a miscarriage, and I cannot believe, regardless of the 'no man's land' the timing was in, that anyone would be stupid enough to think it was. Gabriel was alive, born to loving parents who were at least able to be with him as he passed.<br /><br />Whatever you think, you cannot allow yourself to believe it was anything you did. It was so many things that they did, or did not do. No one should have to bear that sort of lack of care. You have my family's thoughts and prayers.

I'm so furious for you, and for little Gabriel. Please don't blame yourself. Can I just say, "What Tamsyn said?" Because she summed it up perfectly. <br /><br />FUCK I wish there were some way I could pluck you out of this nightmare and make everything right. The unfairness of everything that's happened to you is overwhelming. I wish I could take a small part of that burden off you.Dawn~a~Bonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03579654260254491401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164515774162371836.post-78619778704068974172009-09-08T07:32:19.479-05:002009-09-08T07:32:19.479-05:00I hate your doctor.

Every event will be marked with before and after that tragic day. You will never be back to "normal" but you will have a new normal that includes all the love and grief that comes along with being a mother to him. <br /><br />The OB is an ass. I would send him a copy of this blog entry and ask him to rewrite his sympathy card.

Gabriel was not a miscarriage, he was a little baby boy and he deserves nothing less than being treated as one. <br /><br />FWIW, My mother lost triplets in a similar fashion to how you lost Gabriel a couple of years before I was born. She told me once that, the pain of losing a child never goes away, and that it is only the person who becomes better at walking through life carrying the pain. <br />I hope that with each day it is a little bit easier for you too. <br /> <br />Much love, <br />SchwandySchwandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02974285343841161688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164515774162371836.post-52804823232941963272009-09-07T21:47:40.875-05:002009-09-07T21:47:40.875-05:00Eas,

I am so sorry for the loss of your son,...Oh Eas....<br />I am so sorry for the loss of your son, but I sit here, crying with you, over the horrible way you were treated before/during/after your delivery. I am so angry right now because I represent that medical community, as a L&D nurse, and I KNOW that anywhere I've worked, we've tried our hardest to make sure to treat any patient quickly & fairly.<br />Will you be writing a letter to the OB office & hospital? I would. I would mention every detail of your treatment & that you will no longer be using anyone in their OB office or hospital. I would see if your MW could refer you elsewhere, too (if you decide you would be ready to try again.).<br />I am really so angry, I am shaking. I have taken care of patients who have to deliver stillborn babies, and those who deliver early preterm babies. I try my best to make sure the parents see & hold their child (even if it's termed a "miscarriage"/<20 weeks.), and especially if their baby is born alive. I have cried many tears with parents. It angers me so much because you had such a horrible experience.<br />I miss you. And I hope you are able to find answers to your questions, and that you get some healing soon. ::hugs::<br />bensbabeLDRNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13919013974065088629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164515774162371836.post-31131220803291733092009-09-07T15:53:25.277-05:002009-09-07T15:53:25.277-05:00It is pretty much unfathomable, what happened to y...It is pretty much unfathomable, what happened to you at the hospital.

When I think about how much careful reading into birth you did, how prepared you were, I want to cry when I think about how you birthed your little baby. You expressed your concerns, you sounded the alarm, and THEY DIDN'T LISTEN. This is not your fault. It is, as I read on another blog recently, not a sin to trust your healthcare providers; they are culpable for betraying your trust.Tamarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01932610700457609577noreply@blogger.com
