 Cameron Kyle Daivd Shiflett was still born on June 14,2000 at 3:45pm.  Cameron was our second son, born just a short 6 1/2 mths after our first son was born. Christian is our first son, he was born on December 1,1999 when he was about 4 weeks old we got pregnant with Cameron. Christian was born via Csection. We didn't find out I was pregnant until April. I thought I was just having the normal after baby hormones, no period. I didn't think I was pregnant. Well I had my galbladder out in the end of March & still had not gotten my period so I went to the Ob/Gyn to find out what the heck was wrong with me! My dr. who delivered my older son came in and was like WOW! I knew ya would be back! Who would have known so soon! Low and behold we didnt know that 2 short mths later we would loose our son. We was due September 28,2000. We would deliver a repeat csection, just to make it easier for me. On June 6th I went to a new ob/gyn. My Grandma had taken Christian to the dr. 2 blocks down the road, I told her I would walk there when I was done! ;) Lord knows I needed the exercise. Well the Dr. had a hard time finding Cameron's heartbeat. He had NO bedside manners anyways! So I was like maybe hes hiding. But Cameron had a thing with moving around when you tried to feel him or listen to him. The Dr. didn't tell me a thing. He got the ultrasound machine and tended to his job. About 10 mins later he looked at me and I quote "Your baby is dead. You can either have an abortion or just take some pills and wait it out and deliver at home,there wont be anything left.Being PROLIFE, I told him there was NO way I was going to have an abortion. He pretty much told me I was and idiot. I didnt care, I was technically 28wks pregnant but I only measured apprx. 17 wks. So I am guessing for sometime my son had not grown. So the Dr. said there was no need for me to deliver in the hospital. So I went home, I told my dh, Ron and I swear I think a part of his heart died that very moment. To take our minds off of it, not like it really happened, we went to Wv. to visit with some of our friends. We think that was the worst/best trip we ever had. It was the best in essance that Cameron was still physically with us,the first and only trip he took. :( Worst, because we knew everytime I went to the restroom it could "happen". We knew our baby was dead, We knew we were losing him! I didn't want to! We wanted him to live. We wanted him to be like Christian. We thought I would just start bleeding. Well we came home, still nothing! I kept telling myself this is NOT true, its not happening! Our friends were so supportive, I would just go in the bedroom and start bawling, Ron would come in to comfort me as best as he could and they would watch Christian for us. The were so great. They now have a beautiful little boy. Ron was the most supportive for me thru out this whole thing. My sister Jill is a close second.The next page will tell you about his birthstory.I am making this webpage to let people know about Cameron. OUR SON! Our son was stillborn, he was indeed still born!
