A little bit about Zack

Thursday 1st May
Zackary Wynter Holloway 🩵

A little bit about Zack, for anyone that wishes to read/know what happened…

His pregnancy had been amazing, and perfectly, averagely boring and uneventful. We were consultant lead due to Rhys’s emergency c-section and had extra growth scans and appointments as a precaution, though the only risk they had was of my c section scar rupturing, which is standard. Every scan and appointment was perfect. He was hitting every milestone he should have been. We were told time and time again that we had a happy and healthy little boy kicking about in there. We were so excited to welcome our second boy to our family. Every conversation included him in our plans and life. I imagined what he would be like, and already felt like I knew his personality. He was so different to Rhys in his own little ways. We told Rhys everyday about his little brother, and sometimes he would give my belly kisses and excitedly say “Zack!”, other times I would ask if he wanted to say hi to Zack and he would pull my top back down and say “no” lol. Zack was already a member of the family.
Then, on the 29th of December, at 41 weeks +3 days pregnant, while we were literally just waiting for me to go into labour, I decided to go to triage for reduced movements from that day/night before. I wasn’t even that worried, my biggest concern was that they would want to induce me that night.
They got me in the triage room and started trying to see what was happening. And that was it. I was told those words no mum ever wants to hear. 

“I’m so sorry, there’s no heartbeat”.

He was gone. Just like that. There was no explanation, no answers, no reasons. Just the fact he was no longer with us. We had literally had a midwife appointment the day before he died, and everything seemed okay. Shock and disbelief is the only way I can describe it, but those words can’t even really explain what I felt. The physical pain and dissociating feeling.

We came home, and spent the next couple of days making the most of the four of us together while we could. Making some of our last memories, together.

Then on New Year’s Day, we went in to deliver him. His birth truly was magical, in ways I don’t think I could ever explain to a parent that hasn’t gone through this. He was born naturally with gas and air, and born weighing 8lb1oz. He honestly was stunning. I held our baby boy, and he was perfect in every way, except, not. We had everything anybody else would have had. Skin on skin, cutting the cord, having those moments. But we knew that this would be it. Our amazing midwife helped us with our memory making, like taking hand and footprints, taking pictures, and just letting us hold him and be a family for a while. 

But ultimately we knew our beautiful baby boy was no longer with us. And my god, he was so, so beautiful. He looked how I had imagined, and his personality shone through. He was such a little boy, and he would have been so amazing in this world.

We spent the next day or so with him, talking, patting his bum, singing the same stupid made up songs I used to sing to Rhys, rocking him. Being his mum.

Then we had to say goodbye. We knew his soul had already left his little vessel to get him to us.

We still don’t know why, or what happened. We’ve allowed very minimal tests to be done as we want him to be left undisturbed. It’s still early days and we are yet to hear back from these tests. So for now, we are left with the surreal heartbreak and denial of how everything went from perfect, to tragic, so quickly. 

If you see me out and about, please always ask me about my son, Zack. All the tears and grief is just all the love I can’t physically give him in this world. But all this love is still his. He is still our son, and he will be with us always. I just miss him so much, and I can’t even begin to describe the overwhelming sadness I feel every day only being able to carry him in my heart.

Thank you to everyone that is supporting us through this heartbreak. I still can’t believe this has all happened, and I don’t think I ever will.
