Could really use some prayers for the wife and I
 

As some of you know, wife and I were expecting baby #2 in August.

Last week, we got a call Friday afternoon saying blood test #2 did not come back great and that our risk for down syndrome increased significantly. The genetic counselor said she would explain it all to us in an appt. on Wednesday.

My wife had an appt with her ogbyn today. He explained to her that sometimes that test has a false positive and he's rarely had a positive 2nd test really indicate any problems.

Well, he went to check the heart beat today and there wasn't one. They did 2 different ultra sounds and nothing.

Tomorrow the wife will be induced and deliver the deceased baby. This is likely going to be the toughest day of my life and I know it will be hers and would appreciate some prayers especially for her.

Thanks everyone.

Prayers to you and your wife.

Prayers to you and your wife.

Very, very, sorry Bad Guy. Prayers your way.

My mom went thru the same thing back in the 50's, I lost two brothers I never knew.

I can't express my sorrow enough.

I'm sorry, man. Nobody should have to go through something like this.

Thoughts and prayers for you and your wife. So sorry for your loss.

Damn, I'm really sorry to hear about that. All my best to you and your wife.

Prayers and God' Mercy to you all.

Sorry to hear it, TBG.

That's awful. Will keep you and your wife in our thoughts. Stay strong.

So, so sorry. As a newish(2 yr old) father, I definitely feel for you, your wife, and your entire family... Our thoughts will be with you tomorrow.

Thoughts, prayers and good vibes coming your way.

Sincerest condolences.

My heart dropped hearing that.

Same thing happened to us early 2012. Wife was at the appointment by herself. It was horrible.

Prayers for your family.

Condolences to and prayers for you both.

Damn. That sucks. Prayers headed your way.

Condolences.

BG please accept my heartfelt best wishes for you and your wife. May this experience draw you and your wife even closer together. I'm sorry man.

Totally sucks, hopefully after the stress and sorrow of this passes you will have as many beautiful children as the two of you want.

Good luck to both of you.

Man thats rough. Wife and I went thru similar things, so it's extremely rough. Prayers are with you and yours.

My brother inlaw went thru this a few years ago. The doctors told them that it would happen again if they tried again. About a month later they adopted my niece. She is 4 years now.

My prayers for you, your wife and your family.

Positive thoughts your way.

Damn, that's hard enough to hear let alone live through!
Heartbreaking.
Prayers to you, your wife and loved ones.

Tough row to hoe, good,luck to you and the miss'es

Dang sorry to hear this. Prayers and blessings and good wishes sent your way. God speed.

Really sorry to hear that.

WOW! :(

Sorry to hear this. Best of luck to you and your wife. Wishing you both a lot of strength. If it makes any difference, go hug you firstborn and kiss him/her with extra love. His/her sibling will soon come. This one just wasn't meant to be.

Thinking about you and your wife Frank.

Don't know what else to say. That's devastating.

May God grant you grace and peace in your household.

So sorry to hear this. Since my wife and I went through something very similar to this last May, I know how hard this is. If you ever need to talk, send me a DM.

May God bless your entire family.

Prayers for you, your wife and your unborn child. May the lord give you and your wife strength you need.

Damn. Speechless.

Prayers and thoughts in your families direction.

oh damn... I'm sorry, bad guy/frank. I'm not a prayer, but positive mojo is definitely headed your way. godspeed.

Aww jeez man......I freaked out just like pooch above me, when there were some issues with the heartbeat during the pregnancy....and then during delivery, my son's heart beat was a little fast because he was getting stressed....

I cant even imagine your pain....

Sending you prayers and love.

Terrible news. So sorry to hear this.
My thoughts go out to you and your wife.

Prayers to you and your family.

I'm so sorry to hear this heartbreaking news. Prayers to you and your wife.

Good lord.

You guys are in my prayers TBG.

Wow.

So sorry...I couldn't imagine. Prayers to you and your wife.

Stay strong.

That's brutal.

Sorry TBG.

Very sorry for your loss.

I cannot fathom the thoughts and feelings you are going through at this time.

As a man who has been at my wife's side during the expulsions of four miscarraiges my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your wfie during this time.

Thoughts your way TBG.

That's awful. Thoughts and prayers to you and your wife.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your wife Frank.....may God be with you both in this time of struggle.

Terrible. I'm so sorry.

Sorry, I mis-read. Many prayers your way. Hang in there young man....

Done. I'm so sorry, man.

Prayers, my friend. Bless you, your wife and family.
Sec

Prayers sent. We've been through one still born and one miscarriage. I definitely feel for you and your wife.

My wife and I had 3 miscarriages. I know the feeling. The only positive is that enduring something like this will bring you closer as a couple. Just hug each other a whole helluva lot these next few days.

My sister had to deliver her almost full term child, stillborn. My heartfelt sympathy and prayers go out to you and your wife. God bless you, your wife and all of your children.

That's awful news. God bless that little baby and your family.

Awful man. No words to help.

Speechless. Positive thoughts coming your way.

Thank you everyone, it means a great deal.

My wife is the most incredible person I've ever met. Her strength today really helped me. I'm staying strong for her on the outside, but on the inside right now I'm in rough shape.

I wish delivering the baby didn't have to happen, but we will get through it.

Doctor said there's no rhyme or reason for why it happened and it shouldn't hinder us in the future. We will take some time, evaluate how my wife is feeling and decide over the summer if we want to try again.

This happened between my 3rd and 4th kid.
Left the doctor's office with a possible later date to induce deceased labor Wife curled up in the car and basically delivered it in the passenger floor. The pain and feeling of not being able to do anything was unbearable.

I had to carry her to the bedroom from the garage downstairs as she couldn't walk.

Feeling for ya.

And as far as those false positives. We've had them for 3 out of the 5 kiddos. ours was a hole in the brain that could be an indicator to down syndrome. Sometimes I think they actually have it.

That's a rough pill friend.

There have been things like this in our family and it's always awful. Nothing to really say that will help you except that I truly am sorry for you both.

Thoughts going your way

Frank, I'm so sorry to read this. This is just devastating, and I can't imagine what you and your wife are going through and what tomorrow will be like.

It's so awesome to read the encouragement of many on this board who have gone through what you are going through...it's one of the things I love about this board.

Anyways, for what it's worth, my prayers are and will continue to be with you and your wife through this time. Blessings, man..

Sorry to hear man, I hope everything goes ok.

So sorry to hear that man.

Shit man.. I'm really sorry bro.

Deepest condolences, Bad Guy...

Condolences. Prayers sent to you and your wife.

Prayers. That is hard on everybody. All the best to you and yours.

I'm very sorry to read this. You and your wife are in my prayers.

Done.
