Stillborn is still born, Our babies matter.

The Issue

On April 26, 2016 my perfectly healthy daughter was stillborn at 37 weeks 2 days after my uterus ruptured. I was devastated to find her death certificate to say "Fetal Demise". Savannah was not a fetus. She was a perfect full term baby. Her life and death mattered. I felt her move and wiggle, I heard her heart beat for 9 long months. She LIVED! These babies are not fetuses these are our children. They tell me she didn't live. If she didn't live then why do I have a death certificate telling me she died. You have to live in order to die. If we don't fight for these babies no one will.
