Something Terrible Happened

[Dixiebell]

My future brother in laws twin brother and his wife went for their eight month check up and found out the baby had passed away. She is supposed to be delivering the baby today.

What would cause something like that to happen? I heard that she has had many miscarriages in the past. It is just so sad.

Oh! How awful! A pregnant woman's worst nightmare!

Sometimes, after they deliver, the doctors can tell what happened.

This is especially scary for you right now.

That is terrible news. I'm so sorry. The doctors should be able to tell after she delivers. How sad.

I am so sorry!

They may be able to tell after delivery, but they may not. Sometimes, babies that have too much genetic damage (not from anything anyone did, just the set of genes they started with) to survive do gestate for a while, but cannot make it to their first day.

I am so sorry to hear that. This is a parent's worse nightmare. I didn't think I could conceive and that's why my future husband and I didn't use birth control. I had a high risk pregnancy and thank God my son was born full term but I had bed rest for 4 months. After we had him we tried to have another chid and I miscarried 5 times. I'm just grateful for the one I have. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

P.S. I have read that Celiac causes miscarriages and infertility. Is there any chance that either of them have Celiac?
