2004…
My husband and I discovered I was pregnant. We were having our first baby….how very exciting! First ultrasound seemed normal but during my second trimester scan…the sonographer displayed telling signs of something not being right.

I waited patiently….anxiously….to be told that the baby had anomalies and the outcome did not look good. In fact, it was shortly after that I was advised to terminate the pregnancy. I was distraught. Feeling very alone but strong in my faith, I declined the pressures that came at me to abort my God-given unborn.

Baby boy Robert was born March 29th 1982. I was 17 yrs old and my high school sweetheart was 19 yrs old, we moved to Chicago to start our lives. We were so young and in love, several months later I became pregnant. We were so happy because this was a planned pregnancy.

I did everything right to prepare myself for my new baby. I read books and I ate right. I went to the finest private doctor we could find.

14 Years ago today 4-28-00 I lost my daughter Angelique to ABS. I went in for my 20 week App and once they started look at that baby they noticed some thing was wrong ; they rushed me to do an emergency ultrasound. The doctor explained to me that she wasn’t going to make it full term that the band cut across her belly and all her major organs were out,it also damaged one leg and hand.

At that moment my life felt like it was over how could this be what can I do is my baby in pain.

On the 1st of March 2013 my husband and I were excited about our gender scan. When they started scanning me the lady went quiet and stern faced. She excused herself and left the room, which I felt was strange. She returned and held my hand and said “I’m very sorry to tell you but your baby has no heartbeat.” My heart was shattered. I couldn’t believe it.

We headed straight to the hospital into a private room. The doctor informed us that because I was 18 weeks gone I would have to deliver as normal,

When me and my boyfriend found out we was pregnant we was so happy we couldn’t believe we was going to have a little baby. Little did we know our happiness would soon be taken away.

When we went for out 12 week scan we expected to see a little baby and a little heartbeat as the women struggled to find the heartbeat our hearts started breaking. She was trying to get our baby to have a wriggle so we could hear it but no joy.

My name is Elizabeth.  At 23 weeks I went to the hospital because I hadn’t felt my baby girl Sophia move for about two days. When I got there they told me that I had lost my daughter.

After 3 days of being in labor I gave birth on May 8, 2013 at 2:03 am to a beautiful baby girl . They later told me that the cause of her passing was because of ABS, I had never heard of it until now.

When I was 18 years old I found out I was pregnant and due on December 25th 2008, I was of course young but really excited at the same time.. the father of the baby who I am now married to was very supportive. All my check ups were perfect everything was going well! When I was 17 weeks pregnant we were down by the beach and saw a RV that was doing free ultrasounds (to find out if you were pregnant) I saw they weren’t busy and asked if they could tell what gender the baby was because I just couldn’t wait for my 20 week check up!
