Default Re: What is the most tragic thing you\'ve ever had to deal with

I'm right there with you Uglyowl except we were at 39 weeks. My wife was due on October 10th of this year, On the 5th she didn't feel any kicks and went in to see the doctor. No heartbeat, just as yours the cord was wrapped around the neck. We walked across the street to the hospital and they induced labor and she had the baby the following night.

For me the worst part was telling people about it. I called my relatives and they all assumed I was calling to tell them the baby was born and were all cheery and happy when they answered the phone. In the last week I've seen no less than 5 people that have come up to me to ask how my baby is doing with a huge happy smile, only to have me tell them the news.

The other thing that really sucks is having all the things in his room with his name on them. I have no idea what we are going to do with the stuff.
