Mum shares her story during Baby Loss Awareness Week

Transcript

00:00I have had 11 losses in total, 10 early miscarriages, and then we lost Noah, he was just under 21 weeks.

00:10Noah was, well I had 4 early miscarriages between 2017 and 2019, and then my son was born in 2019, and that's Kyle.

00:24And then after that I had another early miscarriage, and then I had Noah in 2020, October 2020.

00:31We were able to make loads of memories with him, we talked about Kyle, we told him stories,

00:39we have his footprints and his handprints, and photographs, and the chaplain did a wee naming

00:47ceremony for us, and we were given one of the memory boxes as well, so with Noah there was

00:56two wee butterflies in the memory box, so one went with me and one went with Noah.

01:01We talk about him a lot, my son, he was obviously very young when it happened, but he knows about

01:07Noah, he knows that he lives in heaven, he knows that he's got a little brother, and we talk about

01:12him. There's signs of Noah all around the house, we've got framed, his handprints and footprints

01:20are framed, and then his ashes are beside my bed, and I just like talking about him.

01:25I just found an e-flip one day, and just said, right, I'll just get in touch with the Forget-Me-Not group,

01:31and Susan and Jacqueline, I wish I'd done it so much sooner, so much sooner. So I'd met up with

01:39one of the girls, I went to her house, and I stood on her door for about an hour, possibly longer,

01:45and it's the best conversation I've had since my first miscarriage, because just talking to

01:50somebody who has been through it, just, they just get you. I would call her one of my best friends now.
