Hi my name is jacqueline im 23 years old 2 weeks ago i found out my babys heart had stoped.I was 7 months we were so close to having our little boy i had to give birh on the 19/01/10 it is the hardest thing in the world having a still born and not know why. He was so little but he looked like his mum We called him Jayden. I don't know how long it will take me to ever get over this to have another child.All i can say to all the women who are having a baby love every minute of it because i did and i miss my little man with all my heart and he will always be my baby boy.

Jacqueline, as a mother of 3 healthy babies I could never say that I know how you feel, but I thank you for sharing your story. Sometimes we all become a bit complacent to how lucky we are to have our children and on days when your kids are being a little bit naughty and driving you a little bit crazy as 2 of mine were this morning, stories like yours make me realise that I wouldn't give away a moment of time with my babies - even when they are being rascals. I am so sorry for your loss and I do believe that your little man will choose a perfect child to come to you when the time is right. Remember that you will always be a mother. And thanks again for sharing your devestating loss. Forums like these can be a great way to offload, don't be afraid to offload your feelings as often as you need.... sometimes the words of strangers can be the most comforting. Bless you-xx-

Im so sorry for your loss, im crying while i read your story. I miscarried at 8 weeks last february and although im a mother of 2 adorable sons i still feel that we were meant to have a 3rd child, so my husband and i have been trying now for 5 monthd to fall pregnant but nothing yet? Unfortunately a experience like u have been through Jacqueline will never leave you. You will celebrate all of Jaydens milestones etc for the rest of your life, just listen to your heart. I wish you all the very best and look forward to chatting again when your ready. Love to you and Jayden. Kate xx

Oh Jacqueline i am so very sorry for your loss, i could never imagine how i would get through something like that. Not knowing why would be the hardest thing too. I am almost 40 and 12+ weeks and this is what is worrying me this time round as i want this little suprise so much i'm worried something will go wrong. Good luck in the future and always hold onto the memory of your beautiful baby boy xoxo Tracey
