Anna

In 2009, by the Graces of God, I found myself pregnant for the second time, through natural conception. My pregnancy was flawless. No problems. No warning that anything bad would possibly happen.

In June of 2009, 38 1/2 weeks pregnant, and one day after a perfect NST, with a perfect reading of my daughter’s heartbeat, I went into labor, rushed to the hospital, only to find out my daughter’s heart had stopped beating. She passed away somewhere within 12 hours of me hearing her heartbeat. My heart stopped at the same time. It will never be the same. My world froze. Thank you for allowing me to share. Anna would be turning 4 years old this June, 2013.
