Our son BLAKE RIP little buddy

In the early hours of the 16th of July 2009 my wife went into early labour at only 27 weeks. As we arrived at the hospital they knew this little boy was ready to come into this world. They prepped up for a c-section but had no time and my wife was soon pushing and screaming.
Not long after at 4:09am Blake was born but was very small and not breathing on his own, so he was placed on a ventilator. Blake was doing really well for the first couple of days and was put onto CPAP (constant positive air pressure) which was a good sigh but then our luck turned.
We received a phone call from the hospital to come down and have a chat. We were told that he had alot of fluid on his lungs which wasn\'t good but they were hopeful it would get better and go away if they put him back on the ventilator and that there was some sort of infection which ended up being the \"ecoli\" bug.
We were given a room to stay in while things were critical so we could be there all the time. All was looking good for a bit but nothing was getting any better and there was still alot of fluid on Blakes lungs, so they tried all different sorts of vibrations and settings on the ventilator but still nothing happened.
After a few more days they decided to put blake on the largest size ventilator and were hoping it would make a difference to his lungs. Blake had scans on a daily basis to see how things were progressing, but they weren\'t getting any better. On the Friday the 25th, we were told Blake had a stage 1 bleed in his brain and what the possibilities were of this worsening. On Saturday, it went to a stage 2 hemorage and by Sunday it was stage 3-4 which was the worst possible outcome. Our lovely son Blake passed away peacefully in our arms on Monday the 27th July.

This has been so hard to deal with and i\'m not coping to well at the moment but don\'t know what to say to anyone who just wants to talk. I feel so angry at the world still and probably will for a long time.
If you have any advice for a loving father please let me know or just your thoughts. Thankyou

Our son Blake was too beautiful for this world and he is now a star in the sky, flying with angels.

...............RIP little buddy.............
Love for ever & always, Mum, Dad, Ahliya & Cody. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Comments: I have 2 boys Cameron 5yrs and Brodie 2yrs, I found out I was expecting again in March and was really excited as I always wanted 3 children.
My first scan was at 4.5wks and they thought I had a molar pregnancy but I was just early as the following scans there was a little baby there.
Then at 12wk scan the results came back as HIGH risk for Downs syndrome 1 in 55, I had the amniocentesis but knew in my self all was fine. The results cam back fine so things were again well.
Until my 18wk scan they found that our little man\'s (as I found out from the amnio) long bones in his legs and arms were 2-3 weeks behind the rest of his body and there was a problem with his heart.
So I was rescheduled for another scan in 2 weeks but the results were the same. So I was referred to the WCH in Adelaide to have more scans on the bones and heart over 2 days and 6hrs of scans they results were not good, our little man had FATAL SKELETAL DYSPLASIA and CONGENITALLY CORRECTED TRANSPOSITION OF THE GREAT ARTERIES plus a VENTRICULAR SEPTAL DEFECT (VSD).
I knew after the 18wk scan that I would be delivering a stillborn baby and pictured myself there before hearing this news.
My husband and I decided for the love of our little Oliver that we would terminate the pregnancy.
On Tuesday the 28th of July 2009 I was admitted to the WCH in Adelaide at 7am and started the termination at 10am.
Little Oliver David was granted his angel wings at 3:15am on Wednesday the 29th of July 2009 at 22 weeks and 6 days.

I\'m not sure how I am meant to feel, I have a few tears here or there but otherwise I feel really good, I am not sure if I grieved before his birth but there were no tears and I feel very calm with everything that has happened.
I know I will always have a special little Angel and I am sad that there will be no more cuddles or kisses, but I know he is in a better place for HIM.

Most people dream of Angels......I held one in my arms.

Comments: It\'s been a long time since I lost my daughter, It was the winter of 1990. She was stillborn I was full term and evertything was all ready for her home coming. It was the saddest day of my life, I thought. About a year later her father and I found out that we were pregnant again. Oh I was so excited.. We did everything right, and found out that we were having twins, we went in for the ultra sound, and found out that the pregnancy was tubal. Eventually we split up, he went on to have other children, and I never will... I feel dead inside, all I ever wanted was to be a mother.

I have since remarried, and I am now a step parent, but the fact is that my husbands son hates me, because I took his dad away (in his own words) although I love them very much I cant help but to be filled with resentment because my step son is always throwing his mom in my face and my husband is always says \"You are not a parent so dont tell me how to parent my child.\" I feel broken and un happy. I dont know what to do anymore. Please help me.

Comments: I am 10 weeks pregnant, i started to spot last monday. I rang my hospital who told me it was ok not to worry. The spotting continued so on the Thursday i went to my dr who sent me for an ultrasound,
At the ultrasound they told me my baby was no longer alive. I was devastated. My lil baby measured 8 weeks 2 days. I spent 9 hours in the hospital that day and then was sent home with nothing. I was told i would be called on monday to see a gyno and at this stage hope it might pass over the weekend, This is the worse thing that i have been through knowing i have a baby inside me that is no longer alive it breaks my heart. Its now monday and i went back to the hospital today and was not given an internal or anything just told i would be booked in for tomorrow for a d & c. Another day of waiting I just want it to end so i can heal so i can grieve
this was our first baby and i know in a couple months to come i have 8 friendsfamily who are due to have babies i just dont know how i am going to cope. I know it will get easier i know i will never forget this experience. I just dont know how i am going to cope through my friends successful pregnancies and my future pregnancies, I would love to hear from anyone with support or stories such as mine

Comments: On April 16th my husband and i went to our 12week ultra sound appointment. We were both excited but anxious as i had felt something wasn\'t quite right for about 2weeks. Everyone had kept telling me to relax and think positive, it will all be fine. Because i was a first time mum and had never felt the feelings of pregnancy, most people thought i was just be silly and over reacting to each feeling i had in my body. Even though this was the first time i had been pregnant, i knew my body and my body was saying something isn\'t right.
At 6.5wks i started bleeding lightly. We went straight to the hospital and had an ultra sound which showed our beautiful baby and its heartbeat flicker. The doctors however were concerned the babys heartbeat was too low so i had another ultra sound three days later. The heartbeat had droped again but doctors said that was normal as the heart would have only recently developed so don\'t panic. Baby seems ok, heartbeat is present and the rest looks like a normal pregnancy. I tried to relax but i knew it wasn\'t going to get better.
At 11wks i started bleeding again, this time for 8days. I called the hospital three times over the week but was told not to panic as light bleeding is very common. However light bleeding is also a sign of misscarriage but still no-one classed it as an emergency. At exactly 12wks, we found out that we did misscarry our beautiful baby flicker. We realise that there wasn\'t anything the doctors could have done to prevent the loss of our baby but we wish that the hospital took my concerns more seriously as there is two sides of why a pregnant woman is bleeding, if it be heavy or light. It should always be investigated no matter what, as otherwise you worry even more because you just don\'t know what is going on inside your body and you need reasurance.
I think i\'m still in a state of shock. I struggle to sleep at night and i can\'t stop crying. My husband has been my rock and has been the best support to me. As much as he has gone through this with me, he knows that its happened inside my body so i\'m struggling with this in a completley different way. We do have hope to try again for another baby but feel its really important to grieve the baby we lost. Flicker will always be our first baby who we will never forget. Even though we only had you with us a short time, you will be loved and in our hearts forever. Love mum and dad xoxoxoxo
