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.

she is stunning, her eyes are beutiful, and your girls look so proud of her, and so they should. Thinking of you all

Lovely name, beautiful little girl. thinking of you all at this difficult time.

I am so pleased that I logged on this morning. I have just looked at your pictures and seen your wonderful girls. Your baby is so very very lovely.

I hope that you are being looked after cupoftea.
Sending love.

Your three daughters are gorgeous, as another poster said they all have the same big beautiful eyes.
