    Spring,

    Thank you for sharing your story. I had a friend interstate who birthed her son (also Harry) after he passed around the 38 week stage. I'm crying for all of you, but I am also amazed at the strength you have all shown.

    That is heartbreaking and beautiful, all at the same time. You deserve every happiness after going through that. Big hugs to you Spring.

    Wow thank you so much for your replies, you have touched my heart.

    It was Kelly who encouraged me to write my story and although I procrastinated for a while, once I started typing I couldn't stop.

    I just hope that one day that by reading my story, I can in some way help other women who have been through the harrowing loss of a baby.

    Happy endings do happen.

    Spring, I am so very sorry that you have had to endure such pain. You have done both of your boys a great justice by telling their story. I feel so honoured also to be able to share this with you.

    I sat here reading your story with my baby at my breast, so very thankful that I have that opportunity. I am so very glad that you too have gotten that same chance.

    Spring,
    What a woman, what a mother , what an inspiration.
    There was so much of Harrys birth I could relate too, yet havent had the courage to write it down.
    I'm sure you have made the frightening thought of giving birth to a childless mother a possibility when so many are afraid of the outcome.

    Spring, thanks so much for sharing your story. Most of us can only imagine what a hard time that would have been for you. I read your story with tears in my eyes, and my heart breaking for your loss. It was lovely though to hear how you went on to have a second beautiful son. I am truly grateful for my 3 beautiful children, and your story was an inspiration, you are a strong woman, and I wish you and your family all the happiness life brings. xx

    Hi Spring
    Let me first say you and your DH are so remarkable and your strength is something all of us look upon so fondly. Different little parts of your story were so similar to me and my DP's life....we have a Harrison, but fortunatly we haven't had to endure the pain and suffering like yourself and your DH. I can't comprehend why a midwife would be like that during your labour and delivery for Harrison, i think she must be in the wrong trade along with the OB as well. I really felt for what you and your DP had to endure especially when these medical people were meant to be there for you and your DP in a time of need and not to abandon yourselves.

    Spring - big to you. I read you story with tears running down my cheeks, tears for you and your boys, tears because I can feel the pain in your words, and I know that pain all too well. I admire how brave you are in putting your journey into words and sharing it with everyone. I believe knowledge is power and you have done a fantastic job of opening up awareness to stillbirth, something that many cannot understand. You have done your DH, Harry and Ollie so proud - just as your DH, Harry and Ollie have done you proud. I am so happy you achieved the positive birth experience you wanted with Ollie, you went in search of it and worked hard to achieve it - and now you have a extremely cute little boy in your arms and you will watch him grow, with Harry watching over from above. I hope writing your story has been healing in a way - you wrote so eloquently and you are an inspiration to all who know you
