Story
For the M.A., every pregnancy loss matters, and during the month of June they would like their supporters to make their miles matter too, in memory of their own loss, or in support of someone they know who’s been through pregnancy loss.
As part of Team M.A., I'm hoping to raise awareness and start conversations about the issues surrounding pregnancy loss, signpost people to the services the M.A offer, and raise funds to ensure that they can continue to be there for those that need them most.
I'll be taking on a 42 mile challenge during June, and by supporting this campaign you will be helping me to help the Miscarriage Association to continue their work throughout this year and support mothers going through pregnancy loss.
My story:
The way we met was a divine gift, the universe brought us together in Birmingham.
We were surprisingly gifted with the news that I was Pregnant in September 2024, after Akash came back from 2 months in India.
We were a little shocked and disorganised to hear the news but we went with it and started planning.
My body transformed so much, I was sick most days up until 12 weeks but I carried on my daily routine of work and managing the changes.
At Christmas time baby Eureka was nearly 20 weeks old, we decided to go and get a gender reveal in Birmingham on Christmas Eve 24th December.
To our awful surprise we found out that Eureka’s heart had stopped. We had the confirmation another two times at Telford Maternity unit.
I remember my heart sinking and I couldn’t stop the tears. We told out families but tried to enjoy Christmas Day as much as we could.
On Boxing Day we went back to Telford Maternity unit and had the birthing procedure of Eureka. I was very lucky that everything came out at once. The Midwife’s were amazing and so supportive, shout out to them!
We managed to be able to see Eureka, they were so small and fragile.They were lying down on the midwife’s hand. We decided to take Eureka home and bury them under an apple tree, where I have grown up.
It was such a hard time of our lives, and Eureka will be in our hearts forever.
We’ve decided to raise funds for the miscarriage association. It’s eye opening that statistics show 1 in 8 pregnancies end in miscarriage.
It’s such a sensitive and transformative process for a women’s body and having it end so suddenly definitely puts strain and pain emotionally and physically on your body.
It is still ongoing the healing process from this and has taken a lot of time emotionally for us to understand. The hollowness it leaves inside is surreal and I know that we will still have a connection with Eureka all our lives.
I hope to raise awareness for women and families to know that they are not alone in this process.
Bringing a child into the world is such a beautiful blessing ,and I am so happy to see all the beautiful women in my life bringing life into the world and I know that the right time will come again for us soon 💖
To all those beautiful women who have lost their babies, I'm doing this for us! xxx
