Help Lay Baby Xavier to Rest Peacefully

Donation protected
At 20 weeks pregnant I went to my first anatomy scan and was my son, Xavier, was diagnosed with Urinary tract obstruction. He was having trouble with his bladder but still had amniotic fluid around him and was fine but we kept a close eye. At 25 weeks, I was told he had low amniotic fluid and he was diagnosed with kidney failure. He wasn’t given a good chance of survival. I, as already a Mother of 2, gave my faith all in God. I had faith he was going to be okay, I felt his kicks daily.
The day finally came to have him, I was 37 weeks pregnant. He weighed 6lbs 15.5 oz., 19 inches long born at 2:40pm. My baby tried to fight all he can, at the end his lungs were too premature, he wasn’t able to breathe without full force of oxygen. Not having amniotic fluid and having liquid in his bladder that he wasn’t able to release caused his lungs not to develop fully. My baby fought and gave out at 1:54am 9/20/25.

As much as someone can prepare you, you’re never truly prepared to carry your baby for 9 months to then lose him. I had faith and hope he’d make it through. I was hoping he’d make it home to be with his siblings. But god had other plans.

I wasn’t financially prepared to put my newborn to rest and would appreciate even a share to lay him peacefully to rest. I am forever grateful for everyone’s kind words and support.




A las 20 semanas de embarazo, fui a mi primera ecografía anatómica y a mi hijo, Xavier, le diagnosticaron obstrucción del tracto urinario. Tenía problemas de vejiga, pero aún tenía líquido amniótico y estaba bien, pero lo vigilábamos de cerca. A las 25 semanas, me dijeron que tenía poco líquido amniótico y le diagnosticaron insuficiencia renal. No le dieron muchas posibilidades de sobrevivir. Yo, como madre de dos hijos, puse toda mi fe en Dios. Tenía fe en que estaría bien; sentía sus pataditas a diario.

Por fin llegó el día de tenerlo; tenía 37 semanas de embarazo. Peso 6 libras con 15.5oz y midió 19 pulgadas nació a las 2:40pm. Mi bebé luchó con todas sus fuerzas, pero al final sus pulmones fueron demasiado prematuros; no podía respirar sin oxígeno. La falta de líquido amniótico y el líquido en la vejiga que no podía expulsar impidieron que sus pulmones se desarrollaran completamente. Mi bebé luchó y se rindió a las 1:54 am del 9/20/25.

Por mucho que alguien te prepare, nunca estás realmente preparada para llevar a tu bebé durante 9 meses y luego perderlo. Tenía fe y esperanza de que lo superara. Esperaba que llegara a casa para estar con sus hermanos. Pero Dios tenía otros planes.

No estaba preparada económicamente para enterrar a mi recién nacido y agradecería aunque me ayudaran con lo que puedan con lo que nazca de su corazón, aunque solo compartan el enlace. Estoy eternamente agradecida por las amables palabras y el apoyo de todos.
