Young mom Valarie Watts, of Cokato, Minnesota, lived through every parent’s most feared tragedy. With just a few days to go before her due date, Valarie learned that she was carrying a stillborn baby.
“All week, I knew,” Watts reflected, speaking to KMSP. “He wasn’t moving as much. I was very nervous.” Despite developing beautifully for almost 9 months, baby Noah’s umbilical cord became compressed and he was deprived of oxygen. Valarie lost her baby; she was just 27 years old at the time.
