My mom had a stillborn two years before she had me.
I just asked her thins question.
She said:
..." I was not afraid to get pregnat again, I wanted to be pregnant right away. At the beginning I think I was a little afraid but once I got to a certain point in the pregnancy and felt different that the last time, I stopped worrying."...
She knew at four months that something was wrong. She kept telling the doctors that she did not feel pregnat and that something was just not right. They did not beleive her and in those days did not have the technology to see what was going on.
Somehow and I don't remember how or when, they told her he baby was dead and that she would have to carry full term and deliver vaginally.
My poor mom- I get so sad everytime I hear her tell this story. My my is a fighter, she was not giving up.
She also endured breast cancer at the age of 40 and survived. I would have given up- I think.
