After trying to get pregnant for 11 months, I became pregnant with our daughter, Charlotte Victoria. We were overjoyed. I had a very healthy pregnancy with all of the parties and celebrations that come with being a first-time mom. We were shocked and devastated when we found out she passed away at 38.5 weeks. She was born on January 28, 2017 with the cord wrapped tightly around her neck twice; a rare and freak accident. I became pregnant twice more, but had two subsequent miscarriages later that year. I lost three babies in 2017. All medical tests came back fine; our doctor said we were having “extreme bad luck”. I became pregnant again with our son, Nathan Edward, who was born healthy on October 26, 2018. He is the light of our lives and a true blessing.

My sweet Levi, from the moment we found out we were pregnant we knew without a doubt it was a boy. We waited for so long to meet you and each day kept imagining what you would like. Nov 23rd 2020 was supposed to be the day we finally take you home but God had other plans. My heart was ripped into pieces and even though I never got to meet you..you will forever be my baby, my firstborn, my sweet Levi. Forever cherished and loved till we meet again darling.
Mummy and daddy

My first child was born sleeping at 36 wks in 1981 I have never gotten over it. I lost all the hopes and dreams for my child. My daughter was buried in a paupers grave without my knowledge. I was treated appallingly at the Registry office when I had to register her. I recall the Registrar calling out very loudly in front of everyone “I will take the Stillbirth now” the look of horror on everyones face I will never forget. I was not allowed to give my little daughter a name. Hopefully things have moved on since those days.

Anne was born 15:05 25th March 1985 at 30 weeks gestation. However baby Anne had died at 28 weeks.
She was perfect in every way.
35 years later I mourn her as if it were yesterday.
With any luck the practices in hospitals have changed in relation to how grieving Mums are helped.
It never goes away,however in all the years that have passed I have found a small way of keeping Anne close…….
Season 1 Episode 7 of Castle sees Becket investigate the murder of a woman where her daughter is totally at a loss. The final scene the daughter asks Becket how do you get over it and Becket replies..”You don’t. One day you’ll wake up and you’ll find you don’t mind carrying it around with you. At least that’s as far as I’ve come.”
And that’s about as far as I’ve come also.

Zachary passed away on Tuesday 2nd April 2013. He was 11 days overdue, he weighed 7lbs 1oz and had lots of dark hair. We also lost an unnamed child we nicknamed Pea in October that same year. He was a missed miscarriage.
We’ve since had a living baby, a little brother called Samson Noah. He was born on 12th February 2015 and looks a lot like Zachary.
Love always, Julian, Katie, Pea and Samson x x x x

Zoe I am so sorry that we had to say goodbye before even saying hello. We had so many dreams and hopes for you, and it is so hard to let you go. You are my little angel. You were a part of me for 23 weeks, and I still can’t believe that you are gone. You will always be in my heart. We prayed to the Lord to have you, and he answered our prayers, now we give you back to the Lord where you will live forever.
