Taylor Brandford

after loosing chantelle and babe in 2006, we tried all through 2007 to fall pregnant without
sucess.
in feb 2008 i finally got that bfp. my 1st scan at 12 weeks was brilliant, it looked like we were
actually going to have a baby together, at long last.
in may 2008 my daughter caught the parovirus and i caught it as well. i was to have fortnightly
scans to check our baby wasn't effected.
on june 18th i went for a routine antenatal appointment and the midwife couldn't find a
heartbeat. she rang around for an hour, bless her(thanks sarah) and eventually found someone to scan
me.
the baby was fine, i cried tears of relief, i was so scared. there was no signs of the parovirus and
the hb was good and strong and he was wriggling away in there, quite happy.
that night i slept soundly, after a very emotional day only to wake up bleeding.
i went to see my gp, who found a heartbeat of 164bpm. he rang maternity for advice and i was sent
home to rest until monday when i had an appointment with my consultant.
that is the day my world fell apart. the scan revealed our baby had died.
i didn't want to believe them and demanded a 2nd opinion.
i returned the next day, strangly calm, numb. i knew they hadn't made a mistake, i just needed
to to be absolutly sure.
i took a tablet to soften my cervix and returned home for 48hrs.
on thursday 26th june i went into maternity to deliver our baby. this should have been the day i had
my 20wk scan.
taylor was born sleeping at 4.26pm on 26th june 2008.
we have since discovered i have a blood clotting disorder, which slowly starves my babies of oxygen.
i'm so sorry, i hope you 3 didn't suffer too much. mummy didn't know.
i hope taylor is happy and playing with his angel brother and sister and all his angel friends in
gods garden.
