I was a bit unsure as to whether to post this picture, but I thought why not he is my son at the end of the day! 💙
Back in April 2014 I was driving home from work. I decided to go a different way due to traffic. Half way through my journey I was ran off the road by a lorry. My car flipped and landed roof down in a ditch. I don't recall anything as I was unconscious. A witness spoke to me after the accident saying I was airlifted to hospital in a critical condition. My partner Blake was by my side the whole time in hospital.
I woke up in excruciating pain. A midwife came in with her head down looking very upset. She said two simple words.. 'I'm sorry'. She went on to explain that I had suffered a placental abruption so the baby wasn't getting any oxygen or any nutrients it needed to survive. She explained that my son had died inside my tummy, and that I would need to deliver him. I just broke down 😒. I asked if I could keep him inside me for a few extra days and she agreed, but I had to stay in hospital.
So on May 3rd at 08:30am I was induced and 6 hours later at 2:38pm Brody was born. He looked perfect. He was born at 34 + 4 weighing 5lbs 13oz. Me and Blake were in love. The hospital were so kind, they got us a photographer to capture the moments we shared. I was so in love and overwhelmed.
It was weird going home without a baby. His funeral took place and it was amazing. He's always here with us, and he's blessed me and Blake with another little boy.
Actually brought tears to my eyes. so sad but so nice how positive you are and I can tell that you loved him from your words and the perfect picture really does capture everything. 💖 god bless him being gifted with perfect parents and congratulations with the news of your baby boy. x
