I’m taking part in Sands Ribbon Run

I’ve committed to taking part in Sands Ribbon Run which takes place during Baby Loss Awareness Week (9-15 October) for every much-loved baby sadly not here today.

Sands ensure that everyone affected by the loss of a baby gets the support they need and deserve when facing the toughest of times. 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.

TRIGGER WARNING ! I don't have the heart to write message after message as it breaks me to talk about. Please don't think I have hidden this from any of you, I have been a mess with mental health and not been able to talk about it. Last week I went into maternity with keytones and high blood sugar, I ended up in inpatients 1 for a few days on IV fluids but starved and dehydrated. We can't know for certain but it was assumed my body wasnt taking pregnancy well this time round. My body was telling me what I had to do but my heart didn't want to loose my baby. Unfortunately, we sadly came to the decision that I needed to be here, alive and healthy for my son rather than very unwell for my son and unborn baby. The guilt is tearing me up, it's harder to grieve when you feel it's all your fault. I know this wasn't my time, I know I need to focus on my future with my family but it's hard. I loved my little bump and I am so sorry I wasn't strong enough for them Update: we received our baby loss certificate and found out she was going to be a beautiful baby girl named Hazel-Lin after 2 amazing women; Hazel (Dylan’s former foster mother who sadly passed a few years ago) and Linda cumming ( Faiths amazing grandmother who has been one of faiths best supports)
