However, as the lady was doing the ultrasound she told me that my baby boy passed away. My emotions were sadness to the point I was shedding tears. The event of finding out that my baby inside me passed away triggered the emotions of sadness. When it comes to scanning, in my opinion as soon as the ultrasound lady told me that my baby boy passed away I was trying to piece together is this really happening and trying to come up with any possible solutions on why this happened, however; I nor the Doctor know why my baby passed away. In my opinion that would be an example of scanning. As for behavior, my reactions after I found out are that I didn’t want to leave the bed. I just wanted to stay in the bed and cry. I didn’t really want to eat but I had too. This would be an example of behavior that was triggered by this heartbreaking event. I am still heartbroken about losing my baby for which I have to deliver him on November 1st at the hospital, however; I am trying to cope with loving family and friends by my side
