Sue, sending you love and hugs at this difficult time. I know a little of what you feel because our son was premature, was very poorly and we nearly lost him. I didn't see him until he was 10 days old and that still upsets me to this day, almost 16 years later. Like Kim, he is therefore our adored only child as we couldn't bear to go through that again. But we have him, and I can't begin to imagine how you feel without your precious Ellie. I hope and pray that you will soon have your much-longed-for child. Mandy xx |

Sue So sorry to hear about your little daughter. I have not lost a baby like that but I did have a miscarriage before my son was born. Even though it was very early on, it was still my longed for baby - something very real to me. It then seemed to be an eternity until I got preganant again - I was then dogged with everything you can possibly get all through the pregnancy and Rhys was eventually born by emergency caesarian at 35 weeks. He will be 7 next month and is an absolute gem! We decided we didn't want to go through it all again so he is an adored only one. I know exactly what you mean about genealogy helping - I got into it after my mum died and it gave me an enormous sense of belonging. My thoughts are with you. You will never forget Ellie - you wouldn't want to. I always remember what would have been my first baby's birthday. I do hope you get the baby you long for... Lots of love Kim xx |

Sorry to be on such a 'downer' but currently going through hell with memories of this time last year when my very premature daughter (Ellie, born at 27wks weighing 1lb4oz) became ill. We lost her 2 days later from a common premature baby complication called NEC. Ellie was 27days old, and a much wanted 1st baby after years of infertility. In a strange way, starting to trace my family tree helps me to come to terms with losing Ellie. It feels like something to pass on to future (maybe?) children, and definately is something I can leave behind..... Hope this post doesn't offend anybody. I'm normally quite an upbeat sort of person, but the current reminders are proving to be pretty horrible. Sue |
