Ruby-Faith

Hi I'm Kasey 3 weeks ago this Friday i gave birth to my little angel who died in my womb at 28 weeks.My story is long but ill try to make it short......At 4 weeks pregnant i began spotting but they looked with ultrasound and said things were looking OK. At 12 weeks i had a huge bleed out where i lost almost 1litre of blood we thought this was then end but were proven wrong by ultrasound when little Ruby-Faith was in there bouncing around...At 14 weeks i had another huge bleed so back to hospital we went the dr checked me out and said sorry your baby is gone. How could she tell me this without a ultrasound so i demaned one and there Ruby-Faith was still very strong..


At 18 weeks i awoke to being lead to think it was another bleed but once i got up id realised my waters had broken . So of to hospital i went again and it was confirmed that i had broken my waters so the next day they sent us down to another hospital with better machine to check the fluid around Ruby-Faith and there was pretty much none. Our choices were put forward to us and we went home and decided we would not terminate the pregnancy we would continue along and let Ruby-Faith decide weather she wanted to fight. So here we were going to weekly scans to check on Ruby-Faith and every week they said she is fine doing better then we thought. At 22 weeks i had another slight bleed but things were still as good as they could be then again at 26 weeks. At my 27 week appointment i told them my body had, had enough and they needed to deliver my baby cos something would happen to her if they didnt( I just knew we were both so tired) They refused to listen to me so off i went home begging my patner to make them do something for me we tryed everything but still they said NO. On the 21st July 2010 Ruby-Faith was very active till i felt a big pressure pain ( Last time i felt my little angel). I thought nothing of this pain cos the DR had said Ruby-Faith was fine. The next morning i knew she had gone so into hospital i went and they confirmed that Ruby-Faith had passed away. My heart sank to my stomach and i just layed there couldn't move everything was blury. The next day 23rd July 2010 i went into deliver my little angel i was induced at around 11am and i had Ruby-Faith at 850pm weighing in at 2lb 10oz and 36 cms long. She was so perfect such a little darling looked so much like her big sister. I stayed in hospital that night and spent time with our dear little Ruby-Faith. The next night i went home and we started to plan her service visiting Ruby-Faith each day till the funeral helped me get through alot cos i just needed to see my little girl. On the 30th July 2010 we attened Ruby-Faiths service it was perfect so beautiful.We got Ruby-Faith cremated and just got her back yesterday with her hand and foot moulds. I still Cant understand why the Dr's didn't listen to me maybe if they did Ruby-Faith would have been OK i hate the fact that it seems US MOTHERS know nothing at all. I miss Ruby-Faith so much and her big sister is finding it very hard aswell but in time I'm sure we will feel better thanks for listening.

  1. Oh sweetheart, I wish there were words to give you comfort. I simply cannot imagine the pain you must be feeling. Please know that you, your family and your beautiful angel are in the thoughts and prayers of a stranger.

    Hugs, Charli xoxox
