6th June 2005
12 weeks pregnant, went for a scan today.  We were supposed to be going to Alton towers with my brother and his girlfriend.
The lady who scanned me said that there was no fluid around the baby.  I knew that this meant problems and had a bad feeling.  The consultant said that we should just wait and see.
 
10th June
Today I had anither scan, the baby was still alive but they had promlems seeing him due to lack of fluid.  I was scared to look as i knew what the future held.
 
14th June 2005
Another scan today.  He kicked away every time she tried to scan me.  Craig and I went out for lunch to discuss things as the dr mentioned that if he doesn't miscarry naturally he would not survive anyway. 
 
17th June 2005
An in depth scan baby still hanging in there.  We chatted for an hour to the sonographer she explained that babies who's mothers lose their fluid so early don't usually survive as their lungs don't develop.  This was our turning point of realisation that our baby was not going to survive no matter how long the pregnancy went on for.  I had premature rupture of membranes and infected amniotic fluid.
 
22nd June 2005
Today we had a chat with our consultant, who said that even if he is born that they wouln't even be able to put him on a monitor as he would be so ill, he also said that if i got any more infections that it could affect me and any further pregnancys.  We decided there and then that it was too serious and I took a tablet to end our babies life.  It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do and I think when I took that tablet it change me forever.
 
24th June 2005
I started to bleed and was taken to hospital, they showed me to a room with a cot and I cried ,they apologised but that will stay with me forever.  I started having contractions and at 3.23am Gabriel was born.
We did hand and footprints. 
I bought a little cuddle blanket and wrapped him in a blanket my friend had knitted for my daughter when she was born.
We had a blessing service and after a few hours we said goodbye, it was the hardest thing I have ever had to do he was gone forever.....
 
25th June 2005
My friend Helen visited and bought me an angel and her daughter made a lovely card.  Deb, Mark and James visited too and brought an angel saying you are loved.
 
26th June 2005
My midwife came around and reassured me that we had done the right thing. My friend Deb rang , we chatted for hours she is still a hugh support to me.
