Just found out an old friend of mines partner lost their baby an hour after birth last week. At 36 weeks.
I am hitting my 36 week mark tomorrow and for obvious reasons this now has me quite anxious. I feel absolutely awful for them, but it's induced a big fear something will go wrong for me.
I don't want to ask them any questions ok the how's or why's as obviously I don't want to upset them.
So can you guys please let me know how common this is? What likely may make this happen and what if anything I can do to prevent it?
I'm considered low risk, but from my understanding so were they.
This has shaken me to my core. I guess I just need some reassurance and I've no idea where to look. The idea of this happening to anyone is awful, but imaging my little baby in that situation just breaks my heart even more. It's sent me into quite a state of fear and upset :(
