Niamh Hope Anne was born at 4:12am, 30/06/2009, 8lb 13oz. Full term.

Unfortunately no heartbeat was detected during a fast and furious 4-hour labour and she was delivered with the cord tightly wound round her neck.
Niamh's heart never started.

This is our second daughter following 2 miscarriages earlier this year.

She was perfectly formed and looked just like her sister did as a newborn.

We held her for hours

We are lost in grief but delighted to have Mae (2.5)to keep us going.

I am so very sorry. My thoughts are with you and your family.

SoSorryForYourLoss · 30/06/2009 22:47

I have name changed to leave this, in case some people think its rubbish!

Woolyjo I just penned this in memory of Niamh

Heaven sent you to me
Then realised you were
too beautiful for the world to see
There had been a terrible mistake
So they took you back
oh how my heart did break
Nine long months or
so they seemed
I wish I could have them back
All I can do is dream
My baby girl came on time
I thought you were staying,
always mine.
But heaven decided it was too soon
SO back you went
so you could bloom.
I held you for what seemed so long
But it will never be enough now you are gone.
Niamh Hope Anne
You will stay in my heart
I have loved you from the start
Now as over me you will see
You gave such joy to daddy and me

I'm so very sorry for the loss of your precious daughter Niamh.

I lost my son at 36 weeks 2.5 years ago, so if you would like to talk I can offer a shoulder. Sometime talking to a stranger can help.

Revel in her innocent beauty and the time you had to hold her. For those nine months and a few hours she was yours and the worlds to share, and nothing will ever take that away from you. Mae will keep you strong. My absolutely heartfelt condolences.

CharlieandLolasMum - OP suffered her MCs last year so am sure it was just a typo.
