Through making National awareness within the UK this will help the recognition of the loss during a parent's pain. This remembrance day can play a small part in enabling families to find a way of grieving and in time help each other throughout the UK - remove the stigma of not being able to talk about it. Most importantly having a Pregnancy & Infant Awareness Day recognised within the UK acknowledges that these babies were lovingly anticipated and remain forever in their parents hearts. Contratuary to the popular belief it is only a National Day in the USA, Canada, Australia and recognised in Italy as Piccolo Angeli. In the UK its observed and its acknowledgement is through various charities.
Sera Hall - This is my story
We were a normal happy couple expecting our 5th boy, yes I know, if I'd of had a £1 for everytime someone said we would have our own football team.
I had a fairly normal pregnancy, although tired after having 4 other young boys, all my scans were perfect, everything was perfect. Our only struggle was a name, as I say after 4 previous boys it got harder and harder to chooseca name. We finally settled on Jett, we both liked it, it was a little name out of the box, and it fitted in with our other boy's names well.
He was borm 14:27 31st March 2014 by elective cesarean section, and was perft. I know all Mummy's say that, but he was, his skin was clear, his head perfectly shaped, and a loblovely 7lb 10oz in weight, we stayed 3 days in hospital as suggested and then we came home, all baby checks completely fine. On the morning of Sunday, May 11th 2014 our worst nightmare happened. The previous evening Jett had been put to bed after a bottle, he woke later in the evening so he was fed again, and then I was woken by my husbands screams, I will never forget that look on his face, I knew then that my baby had gone. We attempted CPR but, it was just to late, we had to say goodbye to our perfect boy, our Angel that was taken too soon.
No-one can explain the pain, I would take a 1000 labours in a row just to hold my baby again. We still don't know why? - and possibly nevercwill. What I do know is that I want to make a difference in his memory. Help other's like me , teach others of the risks, raise money for my local hospital as well as other children's wards.
So for you Jett I will live.
