We had been struggling to fall pregnant.

On the 13th March 2018 my world fell apart. On the 12th March I started having stomach cramps, which the GP assured me were braxton hicks. I was 33 weeks 4 days when they started.

I’ve always been exposed to death, working as a palliative care nurse you think you can handle any situation, we are described as being as strong as steel.

Friday evening going into labour at 11:00pm on the way to the hospital with contractions every couple of minutes...so excited..

My day today has been so sad but happy. Our baby girl Rosemary was stillborn in April 1961. My husband and I were 22 at the time and very naive.

Time for me to tell Louis’ story and raise some awareness for triploidy as it isn’t very well known...



On the 13th June 2018 the day that changed me forever!

WE’VE FOUND YOU BROTHER DAVID



We’ve found you brother David,

We can’t believe it’s true,

We’ve thought about you long and hard,

I was at 22 weeks and 5 days. The week before I went for my 21 week scan and was told our little girl was perfectly happy, but I just didn’t believe it.

I had a pretty good pregnancy but towards the end I could not feel him moving.

As a grieving mother of a baby girl born and lost almost six months ago, I’m in the middle of what they call “the angry stage”.

Over 50 years ago my Mum was forced to carry her baby daughter, Joanne to full term, even though she had died inside the womb a month earlier, no explanation given, bu

“Scarlotte Hope Walton, born 25th February 2013 at 6.30pm. Weighing 7lb 14oz. Mum and baby are doing well.”

As a grandparent of a still born little lad I wrote this when it was so hard to put things in perspective.

I found out I was pregnant the day after my birthday. It was the best birthday present ever, we had been trying for so long and just thought it would never happen.

My husband and I decided to end our pregnancy at 21 weeks, our daughter, Kasia, was born on the 17th June 2018, at 21 weeks and 6 days, she was 380g and beautiful in every way.
