Imagine that you are finally taking home your 4 pound baby and are so proud, only to hear the women in the elevator with you
say "I wonder if that baby's mother did drugs?"
Imagine after a small glimpse at birth, you are not able to see your baby and you beg the nurses for a picture or some news,
only to be ignored
Imagine being forced to stay in the recovery room for almost two days on Magnesium Sulfate, while all around you are healthy
babies and their mothers and you can't get anyone to even tell you how your baby is
Imagine seeing your baby for the first time and crying "I am so sorry my body failed you"
Imagine the sweetest boy with two huge dimples and wondering if you can try again.
Imagine trying again, only to have your daughter die at 27 weeks.
Imagine 4 weeks after your daughters death, the doctor telling you there is something wrong with your beautiful boy, the one
you thought had escaped everything.
