My newborn girl is going to die, not sure what to do now.

[cupofteaplease]

I gave birth to our little girl yesterday at 1.15pm. They told almost straight away they thought she had Edward's Syndrome. Now they think her brain just didn't develop. Noone can tell us how long she will be with us, nobody knows.

My two dds are 6 and 4 and were so excited about their baby sister. They are coming to meet her later. How can I tell them she will die?

As she is breathing unaided and tube feeding, they are caring for her in SCBU, but I have said if they can't do anything, I want to bring her home to spend her last time. I wish we knew how long she had.

I think my heart is breaking.

I am so sorry to hear such news.

Your new little girl has such a beautiful name, I am glas that her big sisters have been able to met her and fall in love with her.

I like the explanation ChippingIn would give. It seems very much at the right level for your DDs.

I'm so very sorry. You are very much in my thoughts and prayers xx

Thinking of you and your beautiful girl. xx

I am so, so, very sorry for you all. I cannot begin to imagine what you are going thro. Words are inadequate but I have not stopped thinking about you and your beautiful daughter - Beatrice Primrose - such a wonderful name. Be kind to yourself and try to take one day at a time x
