Niia was born sleeping after 41 glorious weeks of carrying her. She was our first and much wanted
baby girl. I had a textbook preganancy and was eagerly awaiting her arrival...as were so many
others. By the time she was due on 17th April, her nursery was decorated and the house was prepared
for her imminent arrival!
After a visit from the midwife at 41 weeks, my contractions started that weekend....being a first
timer...I wasn't sure if 'this was it', I'd awoken for so many days wondering if today would be the
day...
By sunday afternoon though, all had gone quiet again. I had felt Niia move on the Saturday evening
as she was such a fidget in the evenings! Contractions all saturday night had left me distracted
from feeling her wriggling about....I listened in with a stethoscope sunday evening, and there was
her heartbeat galloping away. Monday morning I did the same, galloping again...but something just
didn't feel right. There had been no wriggling, no pushing mummy away if I leant on her..
So I rang the hospital and popped up to get checked out. Daddy was at work just in the next building
if we needed him.
The midwife Kelly couldn't find your heartbeat on the monitor though, we thought maybe you were just
lying the wrong way....so we 'cheated' and had a quick scan....only to hear those three fatal
words.....'I'm so sorry'. Our beautiful girl was gone.
We were so close, yet suddenly so far from being with you.
I was induced two days later and you were born at 20.55 that evening....so beautiful and so still.
We miss you so much now, everyday is filled with 'what ifs'. The day I left you behind a piece of me
and daddy stayed too. The pieces of our hearts will never truly mend, as there will always be a hole
were you should be Niia. We love you our beautiful girl,
x x Mummy and daddy x x
We have since found out that Niia isn't with us due to placental insufficiency. Something which
should have been picked up since she never grew bigger than 36 week size....I love you baby girl
xXxXx
An angel never dies
Don't let them say I wasn't born
That something stopped my heart
I felt each tender squeeze you gave
I've loved you from the start.
Although my body you can't hold
It doesn't mean I'm gone
This world was worthy not of me
God chose that I move on.
I know the pain that drowns your soul
What you are forced to face
You have my word, I'll fill your arms
Someday we will embrace.
You'll hear that it was 'meant to be,
God doesn't make mistakes'
But that won't soften your worst blow
Or make your heart not ache.
I'm watching over all you do
another child you'll bear
Believe me when I say to you
That I am always there.
There will come a time, I promise you
when you will hold my hand,
stroke my face and kiss my lips
And then you'll understand.
Although I've never breathed your air
Or gazed into your eyes...
That doesn't mean I never 'was'
An angel never dies
