I'm so sorry you had such troubles with your momma pig. That is not typical, usually there is always one big piglet but it generally is the first sometimes second born. No matter how many animals you have and their intended purpose if you dont get a bit sad when you lose one un-unexpectedly or have to put one down...then you shouldnt bother farming. There is a huge difference with being "ok" with slaughter animals who are on your farm for that purpose...and losing a breeder or a baby animal.
i hope things go better with your other gilt...they should. This link was helpful when i first got into breeding pigs, DH has way more experience then me but this helped me to learn. https://www.extension.purdue.edu/pork/health/farr.html
