A Young Mothers Stillbirth Story | Mia - 23 Week Stillbirth

Lindsay tells us about the birth of her sweet baby girl, Mia. Lindsay started bleeding at 23 weeks and went in to her doctors to have it checked out. She was told that she was already dilated and that having a cervical cerclage was too risky with how far along in labor she was. Mia passed away and was born at 23 weeks.
