(5,946 posts)I have friends who have been through it, and I have an opinion.
My heart broke for them, but nothing compared to their pain. It was the worst because the doctor told them the baby was dead, but it was alive when he induced delivery, but not old enough to survive, it died in pain a few days later. It was a terrible pain, they will never forget even though it happened 20 years ago and they have healthy children now. They will always miss the child they did not have.
No, they did not film it. I understand the religious implication here, my friends were good catholics, but they were overcome by grief when they were told there was no heart beat (there was apparently since the child lived for a while, and here is the kicker, if they had not had a vaginal delivery, done a c-section, the baby might have lived.
I was there for them if they needed me, but mostly they sought comfort with each other.
