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 sorry to hear this.

When we lost our first child - nearly 18 years ago now, the words I remember and still hold close are:

"She was but a bud on earth, destined to bloom in heaven"

Take care of yourselves during this very sad time, thinking of you. Xx
