When I fell pregnant it was the happiest day I was having another baby a family our family was going to be completed.



Overall I had a good pregnancy apart from horrific morning sickness.



We were having regular scans as my youngest was small at birth, we were none the wiser for the appending future.



We found out we were having another girl we were so excited we were going to have another princess, her sisters were also very happy.



As time went on we got to see our beautiful daughter grow it was such a blessing but then we got to 32 weeks and we had a scan they did a Doppler on the blood flow.



We noticed Rei's blood flow had dropped by 50% but we're told it was probably because she had moved but my mother instincts weren't convinced so I ask the midwife and the consultant and they said she had probably moved it was normal.



33 weeks and one day I started having really bad pains the midwife came out and said it was most likely a UTI and prescribed antibiotics. The pain carried on the next day but then started to settle later on we thought it was probably just a UTI like the midwife had said.



I went to bed and little one was kicking away so much it was lovely she gave me a big kick just as I went to sleep, not knowing that was going to be the last kick.



I woke up the next to nothing. No kicks. Just occasionally I felt her body move, I knew straight away something wasn't right, we went straight to the hospital and they couldn't find her heartbeat, I started crying. I knew. We then got scanned and we hear those words...

"I'm sorry we can't find her heartbeat" I just screamed and my partner broke down. Our baby girl had died.



We waited two days and we gave birth to Rei at 33weeks5days weighing 4lb15 she was perfect in every single way, she had the curliest dark brown hair and the cutest button nose. Life was so cruel.



Fast forward a few weeks we found out Rei had a chronic under perfusion of the placenta. Her placenta was very matured for her gestation and her blood flow dropping was her placenta going into shutdown.



Our hearts will never heal from the pain of loosing Rei.
