The day time stood still… 13th July 2021.
I was booked in for an early scan after previous loses, but unfortunately this pregnancy wasn’t good news either… No heartbeat and no one allowed in with me. Loneliest time of my life ever.
Hospital only does the procedure to remove pregnancy tissue once a week so that meant carrying my dead baby till the following Tuesday. Heartbroken at each appointment before that, when I had to be alone for it.
I was grateful to have been given a scan pic or else it would have been like there was never a baby for my partner as he wasn’t able to be there through it.
Sitting at those appointments with full-term pregnant women whilst my baby was dead was devastating, but on the day of the procedure the staff were brilliant. They kept my mind off things and were extremely supportive and I was so grateful to be able to have my partner on the ward with me.
Baby Gallacher, 14th May – 13th July, loved always ❤️
