Dear Baby Muhammad,
Please forgive me, but I don't know how your parents intended to spell your name. Your parents wanted to give you a longer name, but Allah had other plans for you.
You never got the chance to see how happy your parents were they day they found out you were coming. They tried to hide their joy, because deep down inside, they were afraid that you might not make it too, like the others.
For almost 6 months, you, this unborn child, had a place in all our lives. Through your parents' hopes and dreams, we all prayed for your safe arrival.
But Allah had other plans for you.
As we waited in your mother's hospital room, we heard her cries - "Sakit Kak.. Sakit...". We saw how your father held back his tears - he needed to be strong. Deep down inside, we knew all the pain was for nothing, because you were already long gone. We heard your mother's screams right before you were delivered to be weighed, bathed, and wrapped in a baby blue fabric. We saw your grandfather hold you in his arms, and lovingly wrap you in a batik cloth. We saw your family take you home, to be buried.
Your mother felt you say your final goodbye tonight, as your father and the rest of your loving family completed the final rituals for your departure.
Goodbye, dear Baby Muhammad. May the memory of you give those left behind the strength to carry on.
Al-Fatihah.

happened to me 3 times. and, it was not a good experiences. but, somehow you have to deal with it. few choices available-in the order of remedy to control.
so many possibilities, one of the extreme would be-that both parents have the incompatible gen. no matter how many time they got pregnant, the result would be misabortion and etcs. even, if the baby were born alive, they might be lots of problem ahead. significantly costly sickness and bad to worst health condition, weak and cannot live normally.
therefore, as parent, we may need to decide-what would be our choices. a born child that live miserably or say thank you to Allah and accept his choice for us.
but, those are extreme case, simpler one would require simple repair of internal organs, and position for the mother. any good mak bidan can do this.
i wish you and those parents good luck.
regards,
zul.
