Comments: SIDS is a terrible thing that happens to innocent
victims. My best friend who was only 16 had a baby and at 3 months it dies of SIDS. I
think that there must be some definate answers to why this happens. I am on here because
of a report I choose, so I could do a little research on the topic |

I am currently assisting our recently formed support group to obtain a computer so they
can have direct contact with parents abroad. My heartfelt sympathies go to all your

may have for our suppoprt group members who are aiming to fund raise to buy equipment for
our CONI (Care Of the Next Infant scheme) which I coordinate:it is available to all
parents who have had a SIDS loss and can supply them with monitoring equipment as well as
increased support from health professionals. |

Comments: I am very compeled by your web site. I have read most
of the first person pages, and feel that i can relate to some of these people who have
been through the loss of a child. I found out that i was pregnant in May of 1997, I was so
happy. My husband and I were trying to have another child for our daughter to grow up
with. when I was 15 weeks i began to bleed, so i went to the doctor, i was so scared I
hadn't yet felt my child move, so I wanted to find out if everything was ok. I heard my
babys heartbeat, which reassured me that everything was alright. I was fine up until 28
weeks, when i started going into preterm labor, the doctors put me on all kinds of
medications. I went in on Jan.24,1998 in labor 2 weeks before my due date, the baby
heartbeat was 175-190 beats/min. The nurses began to give me oxegen, and an iv with
fluids. The doctor came in and dicided to break my water, and started me on pectosin. At
1:33 p.m Jan. 24th, i delivered a beautiful baby boy, he was so perfect, 7lbs. 10 ozs. and
20 1/2 in. long, we were doing so good they let me go home the next day. Everything was
wonderful, my daughter liked helping with her little brother, and my husband was just
glowing. We were all happy until the morning of Jan. 27th, I woke up with this felling
that something wasn't right, my maternal instinct was right, my son wasn't breathing, and
had froth coming from his nose. All I coould do was yell at my husband to wake up, he did,
and just started doing cpr, I called 911 and they sent out the ambulance, the fire rescue
truck came in and took over for my husband, when the ambulance got there they took him
straight to the hospital, so my husband and i followed. When we got there they wouldn't
let us go in, so we had to sit and waight. My certified nurse midwife came in to see how
everything was. She finally came out and told us that he didn't make it. They worked on
hime for 1hr or longer. We waited for 5 weeks for the results of the microscopic test and
autopsy came back with no more than we had already known. The final ruleing was that my
son had passed away from SIDS. I wasn't sure what that was, so I got on line to find out
what it was, thats when i found your sight. Every once in a while i come back to read what
other people have said. Its been 3 1/2 mo. I became pregnant again and was so happy to
have another child. Until May 14th, my life was back to the way it was when my son passed
away. I had a miscarriage. I'm not sure why, it just happened, i think my body wasn't
ready to go through with a pregnancy so soon. I thank you for having a web site, because i
feel that people aren't aware of these thing happening. You've done a great job thank you
for your time, Dawn Mason |
