Melissa described the moment she gave birth to her sleeping baby as “surreal”
A heartbroken mum who gave birth to her stillborn baby is raising funds for specialist hospital equipment that allows families to spend more time with their children who have passed away.
Recalling the moment she found out she was going to lose her baby, Melissa, from Prestwich, told Manchester Evening News: “It was heartbreaking. We had passed the 12-week stage and we thought that was a safe point. “Afterwards, I felt like I was numb. People were speaking to me and it was like their mouths were moving but I couldn’t hear anything.”
“Since coming home from the hospital, for the first few weeks, I couldn’t do anything. Then we had to arrange the funeral, so I threw myself into organising that. We got home and got him cremated and we have him in the cupboard. That helps me and the kids and it helps my partner. “I was in pain and crying and I thought, ‘This is happening really quick’. He arrived within minutes; he was there. I didn’t want [the midwives] to take him. I wanted to see him, but I was crying onto him. I didn’t want to part with him.
