My friend just told me she had a stillborn girl. She was 38 weeks. She had weird dreams and had bad feelings something wasnt right. She dreamt of rotten foods, and dreaming of insects.
She also had a bad feeling because the baby wasnt moving at all thats why she went to hospital to get the heartbeat checked. They are not sure why the baby died.

Did you get any dreams of feeling before you found out?

i think i can pin point the exact moment bree passed although the aultopsy stated it happend the day after i think it did.

me and dp were out at a family dinner the night before my due date, i felt nausiated and couldnt eat which was unusual for me then halfway through dinner i got this weird sensation of floating/ weightlessness i turned to dp and said i felt like i was floating or being carried thru the air, dp just shruged it off and said it was probably my blood pressure (it used to sit very low when i was pregnant) it wasnt untill 2 days later we found out but dp and i both think it was then and when i think about it i dont remember bree moving after that night

I'm not a bad mum, I'm a good mum with low expectations
Friends of ours lost their beautiful twins at 39 weeks. She felt strange and went to the hospital and they told her to go home and take a panadol ( rant.gif ) The next day she went back and insisted on a scan and found out the girls were gone.

Not a stillbirth but I lost a baby at 15 weeks and found out the baby had died at 16 weeks. I felt strange about the pregnancy all the way through, I thought it was just that I had not planned anymore children and that I was having trouble adjusting to the idea. I heard a heartbeat at 12 weeks and I remember thinking how surreal it felt. I kept saying to people that I just couldn't see me having another baby, I couldn't see this little person in our lives.

I grieved and it was an awful time but I do think at some level I knew.

After a text book straight-forward no 1 pg ,the second pg was a totally differant.At 8 weeks despite bloods all good,i felt really anxious about this pg.I asked for an early scan but GP refused as all seemed so good.I think in my heart i knew this pg would not contiue normallyI wish i had insisted on that scan but i didn't trust my insticts enough.
At the nuchal scan there was no heart beat and after inital worries of a partial molar pg from histology,it turned out our son had had Trisomy 10 and could not survive the pg.Nothing about this pg felt right,and i mean nothing.I had excessive ms,excessive weight gain and anxiety surrounding the whole pg.I knew.
My next pg was a high tech twin pg,despite amnios on both, straight-forward from my point of view and i felt all ok despite bleeding on and off for weeks.I knew this pg would be ok..

For two days before I was very unsettled and sat up all night googling stillbirth. It is rather strange as I didn't think about it once before that.

far out Starletta, I did the same, the googling part. I think maybe part of me knew...

Although mine wasn't a stillbirth, at 8 weeks 6 days I went to the bathroom and when I wiped I had a tiny tiny fleck of brown blood and I just felt absolutely sure that the baby had died. I tried to get in to have a scan that day but couldn't. I went the next day but I 'knew' that the baby had died. When I had the ultrasound the baby measured 8 weeks 6 days. So it had died the day before and I am sure it was at the time.

For a few days prior to my induction I kept accidentally going into the link for miscarriage and stillbirth on another forum. The link was directly under my dig group but for 9months I'd not done it... Afterwards I thought how strange that was.
