After finding out at 6 weeks (during our second pregnancy) that Trace had Kell antibodies, our lives changed forever.

We managed to get ourselves under a brilliant professor in Jessops hospital in Sheffield.

Trace's titer was 1:2000, 1:16 is considered high! This antibody can cause fetal anaemia, which can be treated by Kell negative blood being put into the baby whilst in utero.

The only true way to monitor our baby was to scan her brain.

The scans were awful and we held our breath each time. Multiple of the Median (MoM) are a score that can be calculated. MoM of 1.5 or greater indicates severe anaemia and should be treated with intrauterine transfusion. Our MoMs were high from the get go, boarding on the 1.5 line and we were scanning twice weekly.

One evening Trace stopped feeling our baby moving. She knew something was wrong. We went for a scan the following day which confirmed that our baby had passed away. It is a moment that will forever haunt us.

48 hours later we delivered our gorgeous little girl, Nancy Stella. She was born sleeping on the 9th July 2017.

The post-mortem confirmed that the antibodies were to blame. We struggled for a long time to accept what had happened and both felt really angry at the world! The grief would hit like a tidal wave.

I am running the half marathon in memory of our first daughter Nancy Stella Jamison ❤️

Here is some more information about Sands............

Sands exists to reduce the number of babies dying and to support anyone affected by the death of a baby, before, during or shortly after birth, whenever this happened and for as long as they need support.

Babies are dying every day. Currently in the UK, 13 families a day suffer the heartbreak of losing their baby before, during or shortly after birth. Thats around 4,500 babies a year. And an estimated 1 in 4 pregnancies ends in miscarriage. These numbers are shocking and show the scale of the problem.

Currently, far too many babies die without scientists, doctors, midwives, or their own parents understanding why. Thats why we believe research is vital in improving our understanding of how to save babies lives and using that evidence to drive changes in maternity policy and practice.

For more than 40 years, Sands has been here for anyone affected by pregnancy and baby loss to offer understanding and comfort through its Freephone helpline, mobile app, online community and resources.
