A friend of 20 years had a surprise pregnancy- due this month. Sunday she turned 39 weeks. I told her she should deliver this week because I had all mine at 39 weeks, but she said most of hers were born at 42 so she still had 3 more weeks. She'd been seeing a midwife. And the last several weeks (months?) she's had a nasty chest infection. She was taking steroids for it because she's allergic to most antibiotics, but the steroids stopped working. She finally got an appointment with a lung specialist for soon. Today, she went in for her usual midwife appointment. She was afraid she'd have to be induced. So I went out to eat with my 19-year-old when I got a text from her. I had him read it to me. She said the baby died. I am in shock. I started crying for her. I'm still so sad. She wasn't even overdue! Now she texts me and she hasn't even started labor yet. Forget me. This is about her. She is strong and she has so much more to go through. This will never be over.

That is so sad. I hope you can be the support she's going to need while she is dealing with this. My grandmother lost a baby at or before birth and mourned the rest of her life.

What a horrific situation and there are no words on how to mourn such a loss.
I hope she reaches out for professional help along with friends and family. Just be there for her if she wants to talk or just sit in silence.

I lost a baby daughter seven hours after birth, almost 33 years ago. It's not something one gets over. Ever. I hope your friend has a great support system, along with you, to help her get through the worst of it. Thinking of you as well. ((((HUGS))))

We lost our first 17 years ago. Our hearts still ache. My condolences for what it's worth. I wish I could take away some of her sadness and loss.

I knew somebody who delivered stillborn twins who were known to have died by then. She and her family grieved. They buried the twins. She went on to have another daughter, who is an adult now. I always thought of having to deliver dead babies as the worst.
Moose - your friend is also at that age when she may not be able to get pregnant again, right?

Sorry, I read the OP wrong. I assumed that she is 39 years old. What is her age?

listen to her, go over there so she can cry with you. Bring her food.
Do they know why the baby died? Could it have been the steroids? (((((HUGS)))) bizi
