My cousin was due with a baby in one week, and yesterday the baby was born still. The baby turned into a breech position and the cord was wrapped around her neck a couple times and she strangulated. A week ago the baby was perfectly fine and in normal head down presentation. What makes it worse is that her sister just gave birth to a baby a week ago, so she'll have that constant reminder. *cry* I don't know any more information beyond this.

Clairah Renee Myers was 7lbs 3oz, and her funeral is on Friday. Her parents are Cassie and Evan. If you can, we'd appreciate prayers. Thank you.

That's so heartbreaking
I had the same thing happen about a year and a half ago - 2 weeks before delivery, our baby boy died after also getting his cord wrapped around his neck a couple of times.

If she wants someone to talk to who understands what's she's going through, let me know and I'll give you my email address and phone number.

This is a good link for your family, it's titled "How to help a loved one dealing with a stillbirth" - http://www.ehow.com/how_4900500_love...tillbirth.html
