One way or the other, despite appearances, there our love and joy pleasings being blended, for you and your family to receive. ALL your reactions are perfectly human. You and yours have indeed been dramatically tested. Fear grew. My son's birth brought no joy to anyone because of scary circumstances. That alone, is hard for me to carry. I pray for perfection for you and your family, for an upside to remain in your reach no matter what's going on. Somehow, someway the joy of any child's birth, must be separate from the emotions one has for their Mother, they are innocent - but, man oh man, must that be hard ... so hard. I wish you and all your human emotions, all the best. Hugs...CayCay

I feel for ALL of you. After many years of infertility, I became a mother in my forties. The birth process took days and I finally had a C-section. The doctor rushed it and gave me staples instead of sutures. The incision split wide open in the hospital and I ended up going home without receiving proper treatment - which it turned out meant being stuffed with gauze for weeks. I did not experience the near death experience your wife experienced! I cannot even imagine the hell both you and she went through. I can only say as a mom, that our babies are worth any cost. It's a love that cannot be defined. I know you are struggling, still. Talk to your Mrs. Listen as she talks of love.

I hope there is no repeat of all this with the second child. Your wife is brave to try it all again! so it sounds like the new baby is coming at any moment? If you found out 35 weeks ago. I wish you the best of luck!!

My love , hugs ,and prayers go out to you and your family... It sounds like your wife already had a heart disease.. with congestive heart failure.. No it is not a pretty thing to see.. especially on one so young and you are bound together as one.. I truly have no idea as a new father how you feel, but I've had to go through all and feel all the fears that come with it..( except the pregnancy) with my husband with the first time he had a heart attack. He had retained 35 pounds of water caused by the congestive heart failure.. Please don't blame the baby, he is just a gift given to you because of your love for each other... lots of prayers and Hugs
