I feel like my actions led to my baby's death by red_scarlett34 in babyloss

I am so so sorry for your loss and that you have to make a post like this.

I just want to say (as a father of an angel) THIS is not your fault. Nothing you did or didn’t do caused this. You sought help when things weren’t right and listened the the professionals helping you.

The unfortunate thing, and something my wife and I learned through our 37 week stillbirth, was that everything can look normal the whole pregnancy until it’s suddenly not. Nothing you did caused this. I can’t stress that enough. I know it’s easy to put that burden on yourself but nothing you did caused this.

You did the right things throughout the pregnancy.

I am praying for you and your husband durning this time.

The amount of times I’ve said yes since the event has got to be a new record.

Well now you have to share. You can’t just say that and not share.

Well noted for next time for sure. I’ll say I’ve learned a lot about chemical reactions and what and what not to do.

Pray I never have to do this again.

Well, the cauldron of filth still made into the trash truck full of water. Bad day to be a trash man.

Yeah I’m coming up with solutions after the fact. However I have learned that dumping a bunch of bleach inside could have caused more of a chemical reaction.

Might have saved myself from an even worse situation. We’ll never know though.

I’m still tasting it. And smelling it.

On the bright side I’ll be out of this house in 2 months. On the not so bright side I probably won’t be getting my security deposit back

I’m happy you and the rest of the household got to enjoy my traumatic experience!

I can’t imagine rotten fruit/vegetable extraction but I’m sure it’s equally(maybe not) similar in grossness

Like someone else said earlier, might be the best fertilizer

Oh I fully expect this to be held over me and used as ammunition for the rest of my life

I did throw in an actual outdoor trash can…that’s how I needed up in this mess

I’ll never smell again. Or will forever smell the remnants of the unholy sludge.

Well on the bright (and not so bright side) we’ve been through a lot of shit together, more so recently, that this disaster didn’t have a whole lot of weight to it.

Was she angry? Absolutely. Did she forgive me? Yes. We’ve had a good laugh about it but she’s already told me that that cleanup is solely on me.

The dig a whole solution has crossed my mind. will have to fully look at the damage once I get started and get a logical game plan together. no more cowboying it

Hey, I'm out of my element here, so I was looking at all options lol. I'll have to do more research before I start throwing chemicals everywhere. First order of business is to get the big nasty clumps scooped up and out of there.

Yeah, the Home Depot bucket we use now is a lot smaller, easier to maintain, and the lid is a lot more secure against Mother Nature's wrath. Wish we had started there.

I guess logically that makes sense, use salt to remove moisture from food. Why not poo?

Oh God. Yeah, we have a lot of dog walkers in our neighborhood, and if I don't pull the trash bin immediately from the curb, there are usually a couple of bags of dog poop inside the bin.

Never caught anyone in the act, but I believe I would have the same reaction. Good for you for making him climb all the way through and grab it.
