The day I lost Grace

Tuesday 30th Sep I will never forget the day I went into hospital at nearly 37 weeks pregnant with reduced movement. After the midwife told me she couldn’t hear a heartbeat , I then had a doctor come in to scan me she then called for another doctor and I was told my baby’s heart had stop beating 🥲 The horror I couldn’t beileve I couldn’t breathe. I was then taken to a room my family and friends arrived, I was told to take a tablet and go home and to come back in 2 days time to give birth. I couldn’t take it and begin to even imagine giving birth to my daughter. The days at home were agonising knowing what will happen. When I came to hospital the whole team were amazing they gave me my own room with a suite and talked me through everything. After 17 hours of labour my beautiful baby Grace was born. It was apparent the cord had wrapped around her. The bereaved midwife’s said I could stay as long as I needed with Grace. I spent three nights with her . If it wasn’t for time the room and memory box I received and hand prints and footprints and support I don’t know how I would have got through the delivery and leaving hospital. It will take time but with therapy I’m sure I will learn to live without Grace. I would like to raise as much money as possible to help other women and families that will go through baby loss and so they can benefit from memory boxes, footprints photos and therapy.
