Baby Death Poem

These are a few feelings I was having after my first son passed away. I was nine months pregnant only two weeks left. There was no heart beat he had passed inside me. Love your children we'll never know when they'll go.

My First Child

© Martha Baltazar
Since the day I you were in my tummy
I knew I'd be a great mommy
I'd love to feel every kick you gave
How I wish I'd see you wave

Getting things ready for the big day
Knowing soon I'm going to see you play
Seeing one big smile on your face
All the little things you'll do we'll be amazed

Now GOD may have taken the best of us
But only he knows what he does
On April 19,2004 I saw you go down
Since then I carry a frown

Having to move on not forgetting your face
Letting you know that in my heart is a space
Where you'll stay to play all day
and you'll never have to go away..

this poem is just the best, it has touched me, I love it, I just lost my son and he was my first it hurts so much, but knowing he is in a way better place then we are, is good to always know. I'm sorry for who else has ever lost a son or daughter, it hurts so much. I just thought I would never hurt this much! =[ I miss my son so much words will never explain my pain =[

We went in for a routine checkup at 27 weeks, only to find out that our daughter no longer had a heartbeat. We are devastated. Just knowing others have shared our pain is somehow comforting. I have no idea how we can move on with our lives.

25 years ago our daughter Melissa was stillborn. We had a doctor appointment on Friday March 7th and all was well, heartbeat strong and reactive. On March 9th I lost my mucus plug and was in early labor. It was my second child and I stayed home to do the early part. When the contractions were stronger and closer we went to the hospital. When the nurse tried to hook up the monitor she had trouble finding the heartbeat, she left and came back with several people and a portable ultrasound machine, to show that there was no heartbeat. I gave birth to a perfect baby girl who looked just like her sister. The cord was very short and around her neck. Back then they did not do the pictures, lock of hair and the beautiful memory boxes, all I have to remember her are the memories, a footprint and a small teddy bear from some funeral flowers. I can remember every detail from 25 years ago, thank you for your poem, my prayers are with you.

This poem is absolutely beautiful! I am 16yrs old and I have a beautiful angel baby in my family - she is my cousin Ashleigh!! We lost her due to stillbirth at full term. Saying goodbye was the hardest thing but she is loved and thought of everyday! I have organized a 2nd birthday party for her and I wanted to give this poem to my aunty, uncle, and my 2 wonderful cousins (ash's big sister and little sister) Ash's sisters love her 2 bits. One of them is 5 and her lil sister is turning 1. They both know all about their angel sister and we will continue telling them for the rest of their lives. They will always know how lucky they are to have a very special sister watching over them. We are planning to do a balloon release and I was hoping I could read this poem!
I am soo very sorry for all your losses! My thoughts and prayers are with you all! XXX

This poem truely touched my heart, I had a still birth 4 days before my due date, I had a beautiful little girl weighing 10 pounds 3 ounces, She looked like she was sleeping the most beautiful angel I've ever seen. Its been 4 years on November 4th and it still feels like I was holding her close yesterday, Family and friends told me time will heal, but it truly doesn't. We just have to believe they are our little angels in heaven looking over us. I'll never forget and we will always keep her memory alive. My prayers are with you all.

On Feb.14, 2005 I found out that I was pregnant with my first little girl she was going to be here October 12 and I was so excited. I was 27 weeks and I started have contractions so I went in to the hospital and when they couldn't find her heartbeat, she was born on July 21, 2005. I thought my life had fell apart I couldn't go on.
On Feb 14, 2006 I found out I was pregnant with my little boy he was going to be here October 18, well I started having contracts at 27 weeks again they put me in the hospital and my son was born on July 21,2006, God works in many ways and he knew that I couldn't go on with life. My son is a perfect four year old and I just had another little girl. Just remember God does things for a reason, we might not understand them, but just remember that he does it for the best.
