Dad Jonah Tells The Birth Story of Baby Lydia, Stillborn at 30 Weeks Due To Umbilical Cord Accident

Still A Part of Us: A podcast about pregnancy loss, stillbirth, and infant loss

Dad Jonah recounts the events of his wife Danielle's first pregnancy, and how he remembers Danielle asking the doctor about whether she should be monitoring the baby's movements. Danielle noticed decreased fetal movements, and when they get to the hospital, they are unable to find Lydia's heartbeat. Lydia Jaelle was stillborn at 30 weeks due to an umbilical cord accident.
