@KayeSteinsapir I have been following your story and my heart mourns with you. It took me years to become an open book. Doing so helped me reconcile the horrific beauty of it all and I have learned that grieving a child is like mothering a child, a lifelong journey. Have you read?

@Ginni02457603 When is it ever ok to comment on another persons body? And this post made by another woman?! Ugh! Real woman don’t body shame/question they empower, lift up. We all have a picture somewhere that makes us look PG when we were not.

@PhilippaWriter 34 years for me and not a day goes by, still, that I don’t wonder what could have been. Sending you hugs.

@jcollinsmd77 Agreed! 110% a must!

OB Facts: UCA loss moms being told cord entanglement not the cause of death. An autopsy and placental path report must say so before telling a UCA loss mom there is no cause detected.

@malkolmxcherry The most they will do is Baker Act you for a 24 hour hold. But it seems like you know you need help and that might be a good place to start. Praying for you. You have been strong for so long and faced these demons all on your own. Let help in. 🙏🏻

OB Facts: Moms do not have to wait to be evaluated on L&D till contractions are 3min apart. Go when you need to. No need to ask to go either. OB units tend to make moms stay home - go .

@sophieraworth I’m so sorry.

[SOBBS @SOBBS_USA]

I had the extreme honor to speak with Dr. Jason Collins @jcollinsmd77 on the phone last week. He is spearheading an initiative to educate providers/families on the necessity of cord evaluations as a routine practice. Stay tuned to see how you can help.

[SOBBS @SOBBS_USA]

@jcollinsmd77 How can a patient advocate for the study?

[SOBBS @SOBBS_USA]

100%

OB Facts: Wharton’s jelly of the umbilical cord can be imaged and measured. Thin cord syndrome is a known stillbirth risk factor. A complete review of the umbilical cord should be done from the placenta to the umbilicus.

This is so validating

[Dan Andrews @DanielAndrewsMP]

And those who've experienced early pregnancy loss often find themselves dealing with it alone, with no real way of expressing their grief.

This won't be everyone's choice.

But hopefully it'll help bereaved parents mourn the child they never got to meet.
