I’ve committed to the April Jogging Challenge for families facing baby loss

I’ve committed to the April Jogging Challenge for every much-loved baby sadly not here today.

They campaign for change, provide training for midwives and healthcare professionals, and support research so that fewer babies die and so that less families experience the tragedy of losing their baby. Anything you are able to donate means so much.

Thank you.

My miscarraige

Friday 6th Mar
In June last year, i went through my first pregnancy and first miscarraige at 12/13 wreks. I was around 5 weeks when i found out and at the time i was doing an early years practioner course. I was over the moon when i found out i was pregnant, my family was delighted for me though some got jelous. My partner was happy and scared as this too was his first pregnancy and misscarraige. Then the day of my misscarraige started, i was fine most of the day until half 6 came along and turned my life upside down. The pain was like nothing i never experienced before and the amount of blood i lost was terrorifing. I had my partner by my side the whole time while he didnt know what to do but he tried his hardest and im forever greatful. I knew something was wrong because the amount of pain i was in. This was all during a video documation for the City Council who too was supportive anf understanding, after this video i had badminton with a group im part of and i warnef one if the staff that was there of the situation and got told to take it easy and thats what i did. However, the pain got worse and the bleeding got heavier so i decided to stop for a couple of minutes but that didnt help. The secction ended and i asked for a lift home. I got home and as soon as i entered my front room, everything came crashing down. Myself in tears and my partner worried and not knowing what to do. 
I decided to go for a shower, did that help.... no it didnt. Then i ran myself a bath did that help..... nope. The pain got worse so i called abd messaged my mum explaining what was happening, she bookef us a taxi to get checked out at the hospital (which i hate) and they took blood samples from me. We then got sent home and i was in too much pain so i asked if i could go to my mums/nans; during this timd my mum informed my nan and my aunty who offered that i could go to hers but i wanted and needed my mum. We got a taxi to my mums and as soon as we entered the front door, i collasped to the ground because of the pain.

Got a phone call the next day from the hospital saying that i needed to go in because of the blood results and two days later it was a comfirmed misscarraige. 
Before all of this my mum and i was trying to figure out the gender and came across that i wouldve had a little girl according to the chinese gender chart. I would never find out the real gender of my little one because i had the misscarraige before my 13 week appointment

My heart still aches for my little girl
