Ignorance is bliss

They say that ignorance is bliss and I cannot agree more! Certain sayings, cliches, quotes...things that I could have cared less about a few months ago suddenly take on a whole new meaning to me. A couple of days ago I was listening to the radio and from some random news story the subject was stillbirth. Every time I hear that word my ears perk up and I have to listen. And the thing that got me was the radio host wasn't entirely sure what a stillbirth was. He asked, "Now..is that when the baby is alive and then dies?" and then they went on to wonder how they know if someone has a stillbirth and wondered if you could just take the baby out and save him or her. Meanwhile, I'm sitting there feeling like an expert because I know exactly what a stillbirth is. I know that in most cases there are no warnings until it's too late. The only warning I had was she had stopped moving. By then it was too late and if I would have known something was wrong before then, you can bet your ass I would have tried my best to fix it. I wish it would have been so simple as having some kind of huge warning and then being able to save our babies. I wish I could be ignorant again and to only know that something like a stillbirth is some tragic event you see on doctor shows or in movies. I wish I could think that a stillbirth could never happen to me. I wish...sigh. Too many I wishes in babyloss land...it just breaks my heart.
