Milo died in the 25th week of pregnancy – a star child. How his mother Theresa Orlob experienced the loss – and managed to feel gratitude despite all the sadness.
The alarm clock snapped me out of my nightmare. I dreamed of losing my child, sitting on the bathroom floor screaming, and no one wanted to help me in my desperation. Realizing it was all just a dream, I touched my stomach: still pregnant. I woke up my partner, he calmed me down, and I checked the heart sounds with my mobile ultrasound device: everything was fine. Apart from two bleedings in the 8th and 18th weeks of pregnancy, my pregnancy was mostly uneventful. I dismissed the fact that my stomach kept getting very hard from the 20th week of pregnancy onwards as child movements, without knowing what they actually felt like.
