Hi, I fell pregnant when I was 20 years old and had only been with my boyfriend for about 4 months.

So, quite a shock to us both, but we were happy and decided to keep the baby. Everything was going great, no problems at all. I had my dating scan and everything was fine. My pregnancy progressed and I bonded with my baby. I was so happy to know that I was soon going to be a mam. When it came to my 20-week scan, I found out I was having a girl. I was so overjoyed that I left the hospital with a picture of my baby and went to tell all my family the good news. They were so happy.

But then 3 days later, I experienced some really bad pain and bleeding. I knew that wasn’t good. So I went to the hospital to get checked out. They monitored my baby’s heartbeat and it was strong. I thought that had got to be a good sign. Then the doctor come and checked me and told me and my partner that I was having a miscarriage and there was little chance of my baby girl surviving. Within that moment, my life fell apart. I didn’t know what to do. I just had to go through the normal labour. It was awful. 4 hours later, my baby was born. I looked at the midwife, hopeful, waiting for my baby to cry. She, she never did. They took my baby away. A few hours later, I went to see my baby girl. She was perfect. We named her Amygrace.

In time, we had her funeral, the worst day of our life. I will never forget our little angel. Last year, I fell pregnant again. Never been so scared, but I’m happy to say. I went full term and had a beautiful healthy baby boy. He is 5 month old now and is doing fantastic. We will tell him about his big sister some day and love her just as much as we do.
