My beautiful baby girl

My wife gave birth to our beautiful baby girl, she was only 1lb 5 oz and 13" long. She was 17 weeks early. She was born at 8:58pm and passed away at 11:08pm. Holding her in my arms was probably the hardest thing I've ever had to do.

The doctors say that she had an abonormality at the base of her skull and it caused issues for the spinal cord, which didn't allow any of her organs to function normally. They said that she would have been born the same way if my wife had carried her the full 40 weeks. If it weren't for the abnormality she could have had a chance at life, even if it were only less than 5%.

It has been a tough process, I hope you all don't mind me sharing. It helps to alleviate some of the pain. The most amazing thing to me throughout this whole ordeal has been the amazing support we have gotten from friends and family, and most of all complete strangers.

I am very sad for your loss.
It's good to hear that you have loving support from your friends and family.

I can't pretend to know how it feels, but I'm sorry for you and your wife's loss. The community is here for you man.
