Well. I spoke again to an obstetrician at the hospital who has since reviewed our case with a number of other Doctors.

Although they cannot definitely say, they believe that the most likely cause for Alexander's death was a placental abruption. It is all very confronting being told this. Is it better to have a cause? It doesn't change what has happened.

We have been told that extra monitoring and scans will be available for any future pregnancies. I may be able to have a vaginal birth again, which I thought I wouldn't be able to do as I have had a caesarean for my first born and a VBAC for Alex. So I guess there is some relief in this.

We picked up Alex's hand and foot print mould yesterday. It is lovely. It is proudly hanging in the hallway and we are getting some big brother hand prints for my 2 year old to hang along side. We have so few things to remember Alex by so this is very special to us.

I hope you are all well! Take Care

Danek
