K.M.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I have a surviving twin. He is 8 years old and happy and healthy. We had no big complications. It's hard to remember some of the details about when my baby girl died in utero. I guess I put it out of my mind. We were in the middle of a state to state move with the Army, and then finding a new OB/GYN so it was weeks before I knew she had died. I thought I was still feeling her move, but apparently it was my little boy doing all the moving. She died around 22 weeks, and my son was born by emergency c-section at 32 weeks. Around 31 weeks I started having a brown discharge. It was the sac around my baby girl drying up. That caused me to start having contractions, and when I went to the hospital (a week later) they gave me steroids for my sons lungs, and tried to stop my labor. I started bleeding a few days later they did an emergency c-section at nearly 33 weeks. My son only spent 6 days in the hospital because he wasn't holding his body temp very well. He weighted 5lbs 10ozs at birth. The only complication he had from being born early was that his eyes were crossed. His eye muscles were not completely developed at birth. He had surgery at 8 months to correct that, and sees properly now with no crossed eyes. We were lucky because we were told it could have been worse. Stay strong for your surviving baby. Even 8 years later there are still days when I cry for the little girl I lost, but it does get easier. My prayers are with you. Feel free to contact me privately if you'd like.
