What do you mean born sleepingIs this possible? I have never heard of this.

born sleepingyes in this case and many others, the term born sleeping is used instead of stillborn. It is quite common for people to put in a birth announcement for a baby which was stillborn, as Chrisell said, it gives the family a way to let people know what happened instead of just putting in a death notice, and is a really nice idea in my opinion

I've heard of it, actually. I really hope it doesn't mean stillborn. =(

I mean, I know the phrase does mean that, but it's just so sad.

I've seen it used as a euphemism for stillborn. I assume that's what it means here.

I wonder if "born sleeping" might not be a euphemism for being stillborn?

I was wondering that too?

although I wonder...WHy you'd have a birth announcement if the baby was stillborn? I know I wouldn't, no way. It's just too sad.

Actually . . .. . . in Australia (where Brydz is), birth announcements for stillborns aren't unusual. Often it's a way for the parents to let people know that the baby was born still, and to express their grief publicly without having to publish a death notice instead. I see them a lot in Western Australia's main newspaper.

I suppose it's a part of the grieving process, in that the parents don't want to pretend that their child never existed. It's the same as how they're encouraged to wrap the baby in a shawl and hold it and take photos, and to have a funeral. Also it would let people in the area know what had happened without having that awkward conversation when an acquaintance asks "so what did you have?". Just my thoughts.S xx--
