So sorry for the loss of your precious Clara, such a beautiful name. I wish I could take away your pain, it does get easier in time. I also wanted another child after losing Emmanuel and having that fear throughout your pregnancy is normal. I was classed high risk even though the odds of having another Trisomy 13 baby were 1/10,000, I'm not sure of the risks with cord accident, hopefully someone here will be able to offer you some information. I found talking about Emmanuel was my best therapy and I could only do that here on BB with people who understood what I was going through. Sometimes friends can feel uncomfortable to talk to you about your loss as they think they are hurting you more. Maybe once you are feeling a bit stronger sit down with your girls and talk to them about Clara and have a good cry together. Massive hun. RIP Clara.

Regards,
Dianne
