Poor Amanda and poor Chris. Tragic on so many levels - after her last miscarriage, and now, being so close to her due date - at 7mths on and thinking 'all would be well', there's every chance they perhaps had prepared nursery, bought clothes, toys, etc. So so sad.

I know you're a young teen Patrick and not exactly aware of the full impact of effect of a miscarriage, but FFS, it's been a while since I read such an insensitive post or one full of utter ignorance. Think back to when your nephew was ill and you thought he might die ..... if anyone said, "hey, his parents should try again... " you'd have had a meltdown. There are people on this very forum who may have suffered a miscarriage - and you put up this insensitive, completely blasé throwaway comment. Sometimes in life, if you don't understand the situation, it's better to not comment at all.

If you mean the baby could have been delivered (alive) - it seems that wasn't an option. According to some reports, she noticed a lack of movement - and that's when it was discovered the baby had died. I understand what 'you're getting at' though - and that is even harder - if she'd gone into labour at that point with the baby still alive, there's every chance it would have survived.

Truly awful experience for any parent-to-be to have to go through.
