Eight months is such a short time to be alive but already you brought so much joy, love and light into our lives. I will never forget the first time I saw your face, the first time I felt you kick and the first time I held you in my arms. I have never helped create anything as beautiful as you before in my life and all of us will never forget you teddy cub bear.


Please light a candle to let me know you have been remembering Jack. If you don't know what to write a kiss (x) will do. Thank you to all that visit here and remember our angel son. It means so much to know you are thinking of him.

The Story of Jack

From the moment I saw Jack at the first scan I felt such an overwhelming rush of love and a need to protect and care for him. He seemed to be waving at me and his daddy Stevo which made us giggle. My pregnancy was the happiest time of my life and every time we got to see our precious baby boy was exciting. Jack loved it when I ate icecream, maple and pecan slices and chilli (not all together!). He wasn't too keen on satsumas or coffee though so I didn't have them anymore. The first time Jack kicked we were watching a film and laughing. Jack obviously wanted to join in the fun! He knew Stevo's voice and would kick like mad when I left work and he could hear daddy. I remember at 24 weeks when we went for the 4D scan we were amazed to see Jack's face. He had my nose and sucked his thumb like his daddy did! If you told me that you could erase all the pain I feel now Jack is gone but I would have to erase those 8 months we had with Jack too then I would chose not to. Jack will never be forgotten - he gave us so much and our love for him lives on in everything we do.

Jack's birth story

I started getting stomach pains on 28th July and put it down to wind. It was my first pregnancy and everything had been perfect so I wasn't stressed about anything. The next morning I was in pain still but timed the pains and they were irregular so we thought they must be false labour. Then at lunchtime on 29th July my mum came round and said I should call the maternity unit as she could see I was not right. I went in and this horrible midwife asked me about movements and when I said I wasn't sure (as Jack's movements had slowed down but I thought it was due to the fact I was 35 weeks pregnant and I was in a lot of pain that day) how many times he'd kicked that day, she had a go at me and I began to feel awful and guilty. She put a heart monitor on my tummy and then called the doctor in for a ultrasound and then we had to wait for another doctor. I knew then something was terribly wrong and began sobbing. The next doctor came in and told me that Jack was dead. I felt overwhelming guilt that this had happened. Then another doctor examined me and said I was 8cm dilated. I was taken to the labour ward and was in the first stage of labour for a further 5 hours and ended up pushing for 3 hours, feeling at times like I couldn't carry on as I knew with every push Jack was closer to being born but he was not alive. He came out with the cord wrapped around him many times. The midwife had to clamp and cut the cord whilst he was still inside me. Baby Jack was delivered on to my tummy at 8.29PM. He looked so perfect - all pink and peaceful as if he was sleeping. I heard the other babies crying on the ward and willed him to make a noise. We had him with us in the room over night and then stayed most of the next day. I wanted to cuddle him forever and it was so hard leaving him at the hospital.

The post mortem results show the placenta failed towards the end of pregnancy which meant Jack was very under weight for his height but apart from that he was perfectly healthy. It is so unjust that our little boy is gone.

My beautiful first born son

I must be strong and carry on because I know I don't belong here in heaven...Your little brother Ethan Bear makes us so happy so much of the time Jack but there is always a part of our family missing. You pop into my head all the time and it can sting like it's happening all over again. Please keep Catherine's baby safe if you can, life can be so unfair sometimes. Sleep peacefully baby boy, Mummy loves you xxxx

Darling Jack. 4 months today since we found out you were gone and I gave birth to you. I kept wishing & praying right up until you were born that they had made a terrible mistake and you would be alright really. I remember me and daddy held your tiny hands and your fingers curled round ours as if you were just asleep. I miss you so much love mummy xxx

Time

Do you know what hurts?
Time.
It crushes me
Now all alone
No sympathy cards to open
I ache for my son
Time marching on.
Seasons changing
With no regard
For this life lost.
I hear a baby cry
Wishing I could change a nappy
Feed my boy
But Jack is ashes in a box.
I cannot hold him
Life goes on.
Not in my heart.
I am a mother
Cursed my circumstance.

Two Months

Today the pain of losing you
Is all that I can think or do

The phone rings but I let it stop
Too weak to move my stomach knots

The tears of love rush down my face
For baby Jack gone from this place

I want to hold your tiny hand
And rock you as I speak of plans

But I must face that every year
Instead of joy we'll all have tears

Because as time goes marching on
I'm further taken from my son.
