I’m taking part in Sands Ribbon Run

I’m taking part in Sands Ribbon Run this Baby Loss Awareness Week 9-15 October.

Support me as I take on 5, 10 or 15km in support of Sands, helping them to continue to build a world where more babies survive and more families receive the happy ending they deserve.

Ribbon Run is a sponsored run, walk or jog where thousands of people come together to remember their babies and raise funds for Sands. It’s free to sign up and it’s up to you how you take part. You can run it, walk it, push it, or jog it; alone or with friends and family.

By sponsoring me, you are helping Sands break the silence around baby loss and to continue to save babies’ lives.

£3 - could provide a Sands birth certificate for a baby whose birth cannot be registered through a register office.

£10 - could provide a hand and footprint kit to help create memories.

£20 - could provide a bereaved family with a memory box to help create and keep safe precious and lasting memories of their baby.

£35 - could answer a call from someone reaching out for support who has been through pregnancy loss or the death of a baby.

£100 - could help ensure every hospital in the UK has a dedicated Sands volunteer to help healthcare professionals access our training, guidance and support.

In memory of my beautiful boy Jax

Saturday 24th May
Jax’s Story.. 

Jax was literally my dream come true. I had always longed to be a mummy and after years of miscarriages, an ectopic pregnancy and the removal of a fallopian tube i was finally blessed with my rainbow baby. 
His pregnancy was a breeze, no complications and was perfectly healthy, he was everything and more that i could have ever hoped for. 

Jax was born on Wednesday 7th June at 2:52am weighing a healthy 6lb 15oz . 

I had an induced labour for medical reasons and as any first time mum i was entering the complete unknown and without going into too much detail let’s just say Jax was in a bit of a rush.. 
from 2-10 in an hour kind of rush! 

He was the most beautiful boy i had ever laid eyes on. Biased I know! 

A very long story cut short, he was in fact very poorly and shouldn’t have been discharged from hospital. 

He has a condition called Malrotation with Volvulus, The Non medical term is a Twisted Bowel. 
Which has a very short period of time which can be surgically repaired or saved. 
If the warning signs were picked up before discharge there’s a high probability he would have survived, but the warning signs which were clearly there to any healthcare professional were completely dismissed as amniotic fluid and classed as a reluctant feeder etc. 

It only took a few hours for the famous mother’s instinct to kick in and after a call to the maternity ward with my concerns i was made to feel like a nuisance and a neurotic first time mother. 
I hadn’t slept in 36hours, hormones all over the place and a baby who was quite clearly in discomfort. 
Well like an idiot i listened to the midwife as she was the expert. 
I lost my voice in labour and now it was happening again. 

After a magical but torrid night and countless attempts to get him to feed I had enough and wasn’t waiting for the community midwife to drop in. 

I rushed him to the children’s A&E. 

I was too late.

They knew instantly what was wrong and prepared him for surgery and prepared me for the worst. 

The worst happened. Just 41 hours and 8 minutes after he had taken his first breath he was taking his last. 

💔 

Change needs to happen. 
My voice was silenced when it mattered most. 

He is and will always be my first born and my first true love.
