These three little words, followed by a screeching cry were the most amazing sounds I have ever heard. It was all so different from the previous year, when those same three words were delivered by a midwife with a sadness and flatness no mother should ever have to hear. On September 11, 2011, I had gone into Forth Valley Royal Hospital in Larbert, Stirlingshire, thinking I was in labour. Instead, my husband Brian and I were told our baby didn’t have a heartbeat.

Women need to know they are receiving the best of care and attention at all times and the thought that some of the 17 stillbirths in @placeholder each day could be prevented is shocking.

When I was pregnant with @placeholder I had various niggles and issues along the way – nothing major, but I did spend a few nights in hospital with pains and tightenings at around 36 weeks.
