Grace Cecilia Emmett

When me and my partner found out we were having another baby we were over the moon but did not tell
anybody untill I was over the three month mark. Previous I had had 2 miscarriages. With the previous
two I was 12 + 13 weeks when we lost them. We did not know what sex they both where. With this
pregnancy me and my partner thought everything was going well, as with the previous i bled from week
two of the pregnancies. We became hopeful that everything was going to be ok, untill I reached 13
weeks. I then started bleeding and knew it was something to do with the placenta as I knew it was at
this stage it started developing. I was admitted into hospital with a Heamotoma at the edge of my
placenta, where I stayed for 2weeks as the bleeding was quite heavy but was still optimistic, while
there my cervix also shortened but gained length so was discharged with minimal bleeding. Two weeks
later I lost alot more blood and was back in hospital on a Saturday. At this stage we was listening
into Grace's heartbeat daily and mt partnre had bought me a fetal heart monitor which gave me peace
of mind as we could listen whenever we liked. It was Monday 2ndJune when I started to have pains.
Though we both subconciously knew what was happening I was still filled with optimism that Grace
would be ok and had a scan the day after which still showed she was ok with a very strong heartbeat
but I was having tightening of the stomach but my cervix was intact. I was put on delivery ward and
had the injection in my leg as this was known with pregnant women to stop contractions in there
track. ( I was still hopeful and feeling my baby move inside me) the next day was when we was told
that my cervix had started dilating. We was devastedand heart broken and I blamed myself. Our world
felt like it was crumbling around us I could not understand that she was inside me but would not
survive and was told she might take a gasp for breath. Grace was born sleeping on the 4.06.08 at 7pm
weighing 300grams. She was perfect. So beautiful and tiny. We decided not to have an autopsy as she
had already been through too much and I already knew the reason. We spent the whole night with Grace
by our sides in her cot. Holding her was tainted with the fact that the touch of her was going to be
one of the last. I could not get enough of her. Her tiny but perfect features, her smell the shape
of her hairline the outline of her mouth everything I crammed into the few days we had with her. All
of this I stored in my mind as I knew memories was all I was going to Have. We had her hand and foot
prints done and took pictures of her. She was just perfect but too perfect for this world. Grace was
cremated and her ashes scattered in a baby garden where she could play with all the other babies.
She is missed soo much by everybody everyday 24/7. At the time I was a total wreck, and felt empty
inside. I have a 4 yr old son who is my world and who was the one who put a smile on my face every
day and gave me a reason to get out of bed. Grace is in our minds and is a shinning star who is
dancing in the sky at night, she will be missed forever and eternity. Love you Angel Grace, go
dance with the other angels and meet me in my dreams. Kisses forever! MWHA. Mummy and Daddy xxxx
