Hi,
I recently went into labour at 17 weeks. My baby was born breathing and moving but obviously could not survive so young.
I've had two previous pregnancies with no issues. This pregnancy so far had been fine, just a Low Papp A result of 0.28 from testing at 12 weeks.
I've consented to a post mortem and testing of placenta etc.
As baby was born with signs of life I have to register the birth and death. I'm not sure what the sex of my baby is. The midwives said they couldn't say unless they were wrong. I really want to give baby a name before we register.
The post mortem will tell me what the sex is but it may take longer than 6 weeks and I only have 6 weeks to register my baby.
Has anyone else been in this situation?
Would I be able to clearly see the sexual organs if it was a boy? I could not see anything.
I'm just looking for support. Me and my husband are heart broken. I feel like I have failed my baby.
