[lucykate]

my brother's just rung, they've just come back from the hospital after having a scan last night to confirm the babies heart has stopped beating. they are having a day or so to come to terms with it before she will be induced.

[lucykate]

thank you everyone for all your kind words. they went in yesterday morning for the induction and lily was born asleep at 2.09am this morning, weighing 2lbs 11ozs. they have spent the night with her while the midwifes prepared a memory box for them.

I went through the same thing last April and I am so glad that your brother and his sisterinlaw have another daughter. I have too and they help so much in the healing.

Sending you all big hugs

lucykate, I didn't get a chance to check the thread until now. Your description of being born asleep is just lovely and I'm all tearful again. I'm glad they were able to spend time with her and I hope it is something they will treasure and find comforting. Sending you all my best doesn't nearly cover it but its meant.

so so sorry to hear of this. My nephew was still born at the same stage 5 years ago. It is still very painful. The funeral was heart breaking but my sister felt a great amount of comfort from it.
