I lost my brother when I was 10 weeks pregnant (it was to leukemia too sorry to say, he'd had it on and off for ten years. He was 23). Not a very easy time time on top of first trimester tiredness. All I can remember doing is sleeping and visiting him in pallitive care. I will be naming my son after my brother, it's a shame he will never meet his uncle, but I know he will always be there for him.

I really hope your mum gets to meet your little one, it must be such a hard time for you at the moment.
