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.

Woollyjo I do not know you, our only link is that I know someone on your antenatal thread. Have nothing useful to say either - but just wanted to respond somehow.

Praying for you and your family in your loss

Woollyjo, I am so sorry to hear of your heartbreaking loss. The hospital staff sound lovely.

A dear friend lost a baby in a similar way. She and her husband chose a beautiful candle to keep on the mantlepiece at home, and used to light it in the evenings, to see it shine in their home, as a symbol of their love for their little one. Their daughter used to light the candle and say goodnight to her little sister sometimes. My friend found that a great comfort, so I thought I would mention it.

Thoughts and prayers with you and your family at this very sad time.

ihavenosecrets · 02/07/2009 10:13
