My beautiful baby boy was stillborn on May 12. I was 38+3 weeks. I went in for a check-up because I couldn't feel him moving and there was no heartbeat. I was induced the same night. The cord was wrapped tightly around his neck. He was perfect. I am 43 years old and had to have several rounds of fertility treatment to conceive him and my darling DD, aged 3. It's highly unlikely we'll be able to try for another baby. I so wanted to give her a sibling. I would love to hear from people who have been through this or similar and come out the other side. I know it will be tough but I guess I am looking for some reassurance that it's possible to be happy again because the alternative is just too bleak to contemplate. Or am I kidding myself?
