I’m taking part in Sands Ribbon Run

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

Support me as I take on my distance 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.

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

£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.

Losing our 2nd baby

Sunday 15th Jun
On the 29th of  may I heard the words "I'm sorry". We had only just got to grips with "Yay" we are having our second baby. This was a suprise baby. We had not planned to try for another so all emotions was abit all over to start. So you can imagine once the excitement kicked in so did the visions. Our little boy was going to be a big brother. A family of 3 becoming 4. It was all we could think and talk about. We was so happy!

But sadly the happiness did not last. I knew I was losing the baby. I did try to cling to abit of hope and tell myself it was all going to be ok. But I should of know from the minute I saw the two lines something was different. I wasn't sure why but I just had a gut feeling. So I went to A&E where I was seen by the doctor who confirmed what I feared. "I'm sorry".

 I was 5 weeks. The size of a sesame seed. How does something so little leave such a big imprint? I now understand what "Grieving for something you never met" means. And what makes it all hard is you just go home and deal with the pain. Both emotionally and physically. 

But since I've had abit of time to come to terms with our loss. It will be my favourite what if. I don't want to remember this baby in any negative way. So we both decided to share our story and spread awareness on miscarriage and baby loss. It would mean the world to us if we can help other's who have gone through loss by raising funds towards the sands charity trust!
