Why Was My Baby Stillborn?
This post is inspired by Janette, who had an almost full term stillborn baby girl in February 2014 and she’s been researching the spiritual reasons this might have happened. She and her husband had just gotten married and they were very excited about having their first child.
Janette asks if her and her daughter’s higher selves knew ahead of time what was going to happen the day her daughter’s heart stopped and could she have done anything to prevent it. The idea this was an accident is difficult for Janette to bare and she wants to know if her daughter chose to be stillborn.
The Council says the higher selves of Janette, her daughter, and her husband knew the baby wasn’t coming into this reality no matter what they tried to do. The child only wanted to experience what took place in the womb and wasn’t ready to experience a full lifetime. The Council says Janette and her husband spiritually agreed to allow their daughter to have this experience and at the same time Janette desired an opportunity to work through an experience of disappointment. It was 3 souls loving each other and helping each other experience a situation they all desired.
Janette says she was nervous as a first time mother and hoped her daughter didn’t experience negativity from that, but The Council says it’s fine if the child experiences what Janette was feeling because it chose to experience those emotions. Knowing what this soul wanted to do, Janette and her husband agreed to give this soul a temporary home to experience what it wanted to learn, and then pick the time and the way it wanted to leave.
The Council suggests Janette find the love she gave her daughter and understand that other spirits might not have been able to do this. She allowed this spirit to experience whatever it wanted while it was in her body, and this soul helped her experience whatever she needed to experience going through this.
Having this spirit leave put her on a new path of having to ask why this happened. If Janette can find a way to appreciate what they did for each other and feel the great love they have for each other without any guilt, she’ll realize they fulfilled each other’s wishes perfectly. Listen to the entire 18-minute session to receive it’s full benefit.

Welcome
Bob & Cynthia
Welcome to Ask The Council, a blog where you can ask a group of loving and wise spirit guides a question and get an answer, for free. You can also contact us for a paid private phone session with The Council, and you can read the questions other readers have asked and the answers they’ve received. Other posts contain quotations from The Council that we hope you find inspiring, uplifting, and educational.
Ask The Council a Question
If there’s a question you’ve been thinking about and you’re curious how The Council might answer it, we encourage you to either use the blog’s Comments feature to ask your question, or contact us for a private phone session. You can click here to go to the ‘Let us know what you think about this post, or ask The Council a question’ section of this Welcome post and type your question there or you can type your question in the same section at the bottom of any post that inspires you to ask a question or leave a comment.
Since the blog is currently a project we do in our spare time it can take a while for us to do a session with The Council on a question and then publish a post on the session. Depending on the question and the session it can sometimes take weeks after a question is asked to publish a post with The Council’s answer. Please be patient.
The Council
Cynthia is able to communicate with a group of five non-physical spirit guides in a manner similar to the way Esther Hicks communicates with and speaks for the spirit guides, Abraham, and Jane Roberts communicated and spoke for the spirit guide, Seth. I (Bob) basically interview The Council as they speak through Cynthia during what we refer to as a session. Sessions generally last 5-15 minutes and are usually audio recorded. During the session Cynthia is aware of what The Council is saying and she also receives visual impressions and other types of telepathic communication from them.
The Council’s Basic Guidance
Since we began these sessions with The Council around 2009 they consistently emphasize a few basic ideas that we attempt to summarize here:
1) You are an eternal spiritual being in a physical body.
You are the energy and vibration of continuously expanding love, intelligence, and joy.
Your physical experience in your physical body and your psychological experience of your personality is a small part of the totality of who you truly are.
Let yourself imagine from time to time what it might feel like to experience more of the wondrous totality of who you really are, and don’t be surprised if you are able to experience this more often.
2) You are the creator of all that you experience.
As you open to the possibility your true nature is greater than you ordinarily perceive, it becomes easier to consider the possibility that this expanded you is truly the creator of everything that you experience.
If you’re used to thinking of yourself in a more limited sense, the idea that you are the creator of your experience may be difficult to understand. Our post, What About This Idea That We Create Whatever We Desire, offers insights into this idea.
3) You are here to expand the love you are into physical reality.
You chose, as a spiritual being, to come into this physical reality to experience the joy of expanding the love you are as a spiritual being, into this physical reality. This is your purpose for being here.

Ask The Council 
Hi Cynthia and Bob,
This is Janette. I was the one who had written in regarding “Why was my baby stillborn?” I hope it’s not too much to ask, I just am trying so hard to find peace each day in my heart, and have a few more questions now. Since I wrote that letter in to you, we just had our second child who thankfully is here and healthy. From having a c section, the doctor discovered that I have an abnormal uterus. 1 in 4,000 women apparently have this uterus shape that I have (only half of my uterus ever formed), and everything from fertility issues, miscarriages, ectopic pregnancies, premature birth and fetal demise is associated with it. This was completely a shock to me. Thankfully, our second child is here and healthy and I truly feel like this is a miracle having learned now about what the doctors found with me. Now I am just more confused. Is there still a spiritual reason for our first daughter to have been born stillborn? Or was it the issues with my reproductive abnormalities? Did my soul plan to be born with this body abnormality so that I would face an experience such our daughters stillbirth? Did our daughters soul know she was not going to make it all the way through the pregnancy? Was this always going to be the way it would happen, or did our daughters soul at 33wks decide at that point to exit? Whatever happened, whether it was problems with my body or with hers, do I know on some higher level what the answers are? If she and I did not allow this/agree to it, could it have still happened bc we had no choice and it was just something medical that happened? Could our sons soul be hers? Lastly, I know our guardian angels main job is to protect us and ensure we do not cross before our time…if her guardian angel was with her all through those 33 wks I was pregnant with her, did her guardian angel allow this to happen? Why wouldn’t her guardian angel protect her and keep her safe in me. Thank you so much for your help in asking the council their thoughts. Sincerely, and ever so grateful, Janette

Dear Cynthia and Bob,
I cannot thank you enough for answering my questions regarding our daughter’s stillbirth. To know that there is no way it could have been an accident is what I needed so badly to hear. The guilt I have lived with over this past year has been unbearable. You have given me a way to look at our experience as a beautiful thing, as our souls love each other so much we decided to all offer each other what the other needed to experience.
On the audio, I couldn’t get #1 and #4 to play. Is there a way to still get those clips? Everything you said was so important to me that I don’t want to miss even a sentence of it.
Thank you again from the bottom of my heart, Cynthia and Bob…you gave me peace in my heart today. Janette Shaw
