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.

My husband cried his eyes out when he read your story. So, so sad still. We hope you are coping and have lots of support.

Hi All,

Thanks for all the messages.

Registered Niamh's stillbirth (I hate that word) today and went to look at the baby graves at the cemetery to try and decide what we will do. I wasn't having a good day anyway so this didn't help much.

Struggling to speak coherently today - feel like I am in a fog. I expect this is normal. Family, friends, the midwives and yourselves continue to be a great support.

Thank you
