My doctor said that my baby would not be born alive.
Then she said that if she was born alive, it would be for only a few breaths.
I asked if she could be put on a respirator ( or ANYTHING) to help her.
She said no.
She said that if I made them do that, it would only be further trauma to my baby and her few minutes (if that) of life.
She said she had ABSOLUTELY no chance of survival.
I couldn't further traumatize her.
Not with NO chance of survival.
I loved her too much.
After all, she was only 21 weeks and six days gestation.
Thankfully her doctor didn't feel the same.
Somewhere to talk about the feelings of having lost my child, my babies. In memory of Isabel.

It does seem so unfair that she never ever had a chance.
That story was amazing... Hoping for a good development for little Amellia. And sorry that it can't be that way for all babies born prematurely.
what an amazing story-- truly a miracle. our God is awesome... that something so small could have life.
I'm just so sorry...I wish that it could have been different.

I'm so sorry that your own story did not have the same happy ending.
