Created by Dawn 15 years ago
created in the memory of my beloved Daughter Kimberley Ann Mabey She was born asleep in United Kingdom on July 25, 1999 and passed away on July 25, 1999. Kimberley was stillborn at 39 & a half weeks (midwife's dates) but mine she was 44 weeks, she weighed 7lb 1oz, 51cms long & a head of 35cms. she was so perfect in every way, when Kimberley was born asleep she had a Tear coming out of her right eye, just as if she was about to cry, I will always remember that. I WILL REMEMBER HER FOREVER. she was My delicate lovely little daughter, I know that she is looking down on myself & my Partner, her brother & both of her sisters. she is up there dancing around on a cloud, saying don't cry anymore Mummy. I love & miss you so much my darling little Angel Kimberley. The Last time I heard Kimberley's Heart beat Kimberley When I found out that I was Expecting Kimberley I was so happy I cried, after I got together with her father after about a year of really wanting to be with him. Well here we were expecting our first child together, but within about 3 weeks I had started to bleed, but it was so bad I was layed up for about 3 days in pain, my partners first wife miscarried one of her twins. Well it finally gone so i went to the doctors to tell them I was expecting, so then I had to do the usual thing & see the midwife, when I did I told her about the bleed, she just said well we will take that as your last period then, so your due date will be 5th August 1999 then. As I went through my pregnancy I had no problems until I was 37 weeks, then all my problems started. First I was told by another Doctor that I had a water infection, I told her about the bleeding at the beginning of my pregnancy & said that I wanted my baby to be delievered early, well doctors know best Not the mothers so no I had to wait. I had my usual check-ups, everything was fine even the day before I lost Kimberley, her heartbeat was, as one doctor put it as 'strong as an Ox', but I didn't know that that was going to be the last time I would have ever heard her heartbeat. later that thursday night she had stopped move well I thought she is nearly due must be getting into position for birth, I thought no more of it until the next morning when I began to wonder if perhaps there was something wrong after all, so I phoned the midwife at 10am, but she wasn't there, I was told that she would be in-touch very soon. Well later that day very much later at 2pm that day she phoned to say well if you haven't felt your baby move from last night & you are worried go down the hospital THEN. Well I did, they did a heartbeat trace couldn't find anything, then they did, but no it was only my heartbeat,so in came the specialist with the scanner, after they did the scan, the doctor looked at me & said I'm affraid your baby is dead. My world fell apart, I screamed & screamed "no,no", the doctor said you will have to deliver your baby yourself, go home & come back in again in the morning, so we can induce you. I don't even remember getting home, it is just a blank, the following morning after no sleep at all, I went back to the hospital, I remember they put me in a side room, went off for an hour or two, then when they got back they induced me, 3 hours later I started having the contractions, I asked Jeff to go & get the gas & air, he was half way down the corridor when I called him back, she was coming so he called the midwife, who was going to take me to the delivery suite, but no it was too late she was coming fast. The pain was so bad, worse than I had ever felt before, one of those pains you wouldn't wish on your worse enemy. within 15 minutes she was born weighing in at 7lb 1oz at 01.20am, Kimberley had lost some of her skin on her left arm, but the midwife just said that it was because she had died the day before & she had already started to decay. We had a post mortom done but the placenta was not sent with Kimberley it was destroyed, so I couldn't even prove that she was over due. I felt so alone I knew she was late but it was trying to prove it !! The amount of times I tried to kill myself just to be with my lovely baby, I felt so guilty that I couldn't make them see that I had a partual miscarriage, right at the beginning of my pregnancy, but they just didn't want to listen.
