i couldnt have been happier when i found out i was pregnant yes i was a bit shocked as i was told 3 weeks before i had polysystic ovaries prior to this i was trying for 18 months at 19 wks i noticed i hadnt felt the baby move for a few days so i went to the hospital for a scan where i was told there was no heartbeat in a way i new something was wrong i had to go back in the next day where they gave me a tablet to soften my cervix and was told to come back in two days later where i would have to be induced .
on thursday 10th feb 11 at 4.56pm i gave birth to our lovely boy Riley my partner seen him i didnt although he told me he was perfect all his toes and fingers etc the nurses were lovely they made us a lovely memory box with pictures in and stuff i finaly had the courage to look at them when i got home and he was lovely looked just like his dad which was sad i dont think ive had to go through anything like this in my life and i understand now how other mothers and fathers that have had to go through it feel we are just waiting for his post mortam and test results now maybe find out what happened i need some peace of mind to help us move on and maybe try again but i will certainly never forget my special little man :) Riley King 10/02/11 xx

Sorry for your loss, have faith and take time to heal, talk to close family. I see you've been trying but things will get worse before the get better but hear this they'll surely get better. May the good Lord be with in this time of pain.

i got my results back and there was a problem with the placenta riley wasnt getting enough food and nutrients so its like starvation the dr told me there wasnt anything i could have done and even if they new it was going to happen they couldnt have stopped it he assured me it wasnt anything i had done just one of those things but some good news came out of it he said my nxt pregnancy should be ok and that they would monitor me more closely :)
