Tash I wish I could reach out and take the pain away from you and your DH. Instead I will pray that Leo sends his mummy and daddy strength, love and support to heal from having to say goodbye to their little boy far to soon. I am so sorry that Leo couldnt stay but just know that is is not goodbye forever...just for a little while...
Dance little Leo, show your mummy and daddy that the world will show its beauty once again and that they can get through this sad, dark time. You will be very much missed and loved by them and lots of others.

Tashy, I am so very sorry your little man couldn't stay with you.
I wish you and your family all the strength in the world to get you through this devastating time.
RIP Leo
Tashybabe and DH - I am so very sorry you have had to experience this with the arrival of your beautiful little boy Leo. Unfortunately there are many here who have walked a similar path. Please let us support you in whatever way you need - now and in the future. My love, thoughts and prayers are with you
Thank you all for your kind and loving words. The BB community really is wonderful.
Some time soon I’ll try and write a birth story for our gorgeous son Leo James. I think it will help make it real. At the moment, we find it hard to believe this has really happened. Coming home yesterday and leaving our beautiful son behind was the worst day of our lives.
No one knows why it all went wrong. We hope to get some answers eventually. It seems despite his very strong heartbeat, which was monitored continuously, and the fact that I could feel him kicking as he made his way out with his little bum first, Leo could not breathe, even with the sustained efforts of a huge medical team. Most of the speculation so far has been about a congenital defect. All I know is Leo may have only lived for 18 minutes on earth, but he’ll be with us forever.
We have the joy of having loved and cudded him close and the devastating grief of losing him. We have our memories, photos, prints of his long feet and hands, locks of his soft hair and an enormous love in our hearts for our little boy and for each other.
