Feelings of guilt after autopsy report
I lost my baby at 20 weeks 6 days. I had no amniotic fluid due to kidneys that were non functional. We choose induction of labor so I could hold and see my daughter and also for autopsy. Autopsy confirmed we did right thing as she had multiple abnormalities which led to 0% chance of any life. I’m just feeling so guilty that this life I created with my husband had some many things wrong. She has fused bilateral multicystic kidneys, anal atresia, rudimentary uterus, cloacal agenasis syndrome, potters sequence, pulmonary hypo plasma, abnormal ribs and vertebrae. There is nothing I did wrong that could have caused this to occur. It will likely not reoccur, but yet I feel so guilty. Everything that is abnormal all occurred within week 5-7 of pregnancy, yet she grew otherwise normally inside me until 20 weeks 6 days. I am grateful that there is no chance that this would occur with future pregnancies and that I have two healthy daughters, but it still just bothers me. I feel like I failed Ava, by not allowing her to form correctly. 😥
