It came as a shock to Paul (daddy) and I that we were pregnant, but a happy shock! This was first
baby for us both. My pregnancy was a blessing, it was too smooth, no swollen ankles, no morning
sickness, I felt bright as a button. Daisy's scans went well, each time we heard her heartbeat it
sounded perfect, our little Drum 'n Base baby, I had good blood pressure and iorn levels. I got to
full term, then one week over, then 10 days. I was booked in to be induced at 2 weeks but I so much
wanted to go naturally. Three occassions between 10 days and 2 wks the midwife attempted a sweep.
We listened to Daisy's heart all three times, the second time Sat 20th Oct there was a slight
deceleration and I got sent for a CTG. After being monitored almost an hour the sister told me I
was carrying a healthy happy little baby and sent me home. The third attept of a sweep Mon 22nd Oct
was successful, my midwife listened to Daisy's heart for quite a while and all was well, I was so
excited at the idea our baby might arrive within hours.
I went into labour that night, but slept through the early contractions. I felt quite ill the next
day, contractions were 8 mins apart. I called the midwife who talked me through everything and I
felt reassured all was normal. I was clueless. Later I rang back I told her my contractions were
all over the place and I hadn't felt baby move in a while, she told me baby could be resting before
the big job and came out to examine me. That's were our excitment disappeared, we couldn't hear a
heartbeat and rushed into hospital for a scan. Lay in a room with 4 nurses and a consultant we
watched the screen, they thought there was movement to begin with and we felt some hope but then
they realised it was my breathing. Perhaps they knew, I don't know, but no-one said for a while and
Paul and I just sat there thinking don't let this be real. Then the consultant finally confirmed we
had lost Daisy. We didn't know she was a little girl, not until we met her the next day.
I was a big fan of the idea of natural birth (who was I kidding!) I'd written a birth plan and
opted not to have pethadine as it would pass to baby, though now I don't know what I'd have done
without it then! It made me so ill, but it also took me to another place where I didn't yet have to
face my emotions. Three pethadine jabs and 16 hrs after being admitted to hospital Daisy was born
at 2:10pm on Wednesday 24th Oct 2007. She was so perfect, so much more beautiful than we ever
thought possible. I just was overwhelmed with grief, gutted, drugged up too much to take it all in.
After an examination the midwives bathed Daisy and Paul dessed her and held her and cried while I
slept off the drugs. The other midwives came in and fussed over her and held her like they would
any little one, this ment so much to me. It made me feel so proud. Chrissie the Sister nursed her
and kissed her little head. I spent the night with my beautiful Daisy beside me, the most precious
night of my life. I held her and examined every little part of her body so I could get to know her.
I told her how beautiful she was, how loved by mummy, daddy and all the family and I slept with her
cradled in my arms.
I'd a high temprature and the doctor thought Daisy's loss could be related to an infection, still
waiting for the blood and placenta results. We may never know. But we have to find peace with this
and believe God had other plans for our sweet girl.
Daisy's funeral was 6 days after her loss at our local village church. I didn't really go to
services but I did pop up there during the week before Daisy's birth to pray about strength in
labour and a healthy birth.... Then Paul and I sat outside the church and took in the view of the
sea. We asked the vicar if we could have Daisy buried there as it was so personal to us, amazingly
this was to be the first baby's funeral he had done since the loss of his own little 6 mth old boy
33 yrs before, bless him for having the strength. Daisy had a perfect little coffin, with fairies
dancing among daisies painted around it. Paul and I went to see her that morning, I was so
frightened to look at her, I needn't have been, she looked so peaceful and beautiful, I'm sure
that's what carried us through the day. We kissed her goodbye, tucked in our photo and the little
things our family wanted to be with her. A St. Christopher's, an angel, a little cross and a baby
Bible. Daisy had a journey bear that came in her little coffin to guide her along the way, I
thought that was a sweet gesture.
The service was lovely, a beautiful light shone into the church and the vicar read The Stolen Chid,
by WB Yates, Aunty Lizzy played the flute so beautifully and we listened to Jimmy Cliff's 'Many
Rivers To Cross' maybe little Daisy heard this before. Daisy was laid to rest beneath a silver
berch where her daddy since hung a bird feeder and a few little Christmas decorations. We visit
Daisy there but we know she's is everywhere not just there, she is always with us.
I miss her so much, I don't understand why she had to go. When I fell pregnant I was so sure this
little baby that grew inside me was going to turn my life around, make me strong, give me a great
love and a real sense of purpose. She has done all this and more, she has made me a mother and I
can be so proud of her.
I miss you my sweet beautiful girl. Look after her dear Heavenly Father, be sure she knows mummy
and daddy love her and send to me a feather xxx
The Legend of the Dasiy
The Creator looked down.
All over earth He saw parents
whose hearts were heavy.
they had lost the littlest of His creatures,
their precious children.
He saw their tears
and heard their silent prayers.
He sent to earth a special flower...
a flower that would be just for them.
He scattered this little flower
far and wide...
in gardens and in fields,
along roads and paths,
in bright sunlit pastures
and into the darkest corners.
The Creator sent these saddened parents
the daisy, a little flower
to be watered with their tears.
The daisy symbolized the soul of their children.
It's bright white petals represented
their purity and innocence;
the green of its leaves,
the promise and hope
for brighter days to come.
The daisy thrived everywhere.
It stretched its bright face toward Heaven.
The special little flower was given
to remind each mother and father
that their little one rested
in the light and beauty of the Creator.

sweet dreams daisy
i am leaving this from your mummy as she cant get to her computer , just to say daisy she is thinking of you and she misses you so much , and she wishes you a fun day in heaven with all your angel friends and she is missing you so much
"Angel"
Tear drops, slow and steady,
The pain so real and true,
God took another angel,
And that angel, dear, was you.
Angel wings, upon the clouds,
Your body softly sleeps,
Hush now little angel,
No more tears you have to weep.
Little prayers,are sent to you,
The short life you led;
Your family will never forget you,
So rest your little head.
I know God will look after you,
Now you are truly alive,
Your spirit soars beyond the moon,
Your legacy will survive.
You’re beautiful, you’re endless,
Now stretch your wings and fly,
Your loved by so many,
It will never be goodbye.
Close your pretty eyes,
No more tears,just go and rest,
Let your soul lie peacefully,
we know you did your best.
A poem written by mellanie campbell
for all the little angels x

rip little angel
Sleep, little child, sleep.
Your sould is home
deep in the heart of God.
Weep not, gentle mother, weep not.
For your angel can be found
within the song of every bird,
the bloom of every flower,
the glow of every sunrise.
In the sweet, rhythmic breath
of every newborn babe,
witness the spirit
of your lost child
who has once again become a part
of the unconquerable,
immortal Spirit of us all
xX Please pass this on to remember our little ones Xx

Take a moment of your day
To maybe sit and in your mind
Think of all the precious babies
Yours, theirs and mine
Those whose short lives were over
Before they had really ever begun
Those precious little bundles
Who have made us all a Mum
Their tiny lives have touched us all
And what I want to say
They have brought us all together
Each and every day
The babies whose beautiful faces
In our minds forever will be
Whose names are etched within our hearts
For anyone, the whole world to see
The babies who touched our lives
Who we think of through our tears
I hope in time we will be able to smile
When we remember them through the years
So this week while we remember
All our babies who had to go
We shall show the world we are united
And how we love and miss them so
Create an ever lasting memorial for your loved ones.
