Miscarriage, Stillbirth & Neonatal Death

'We're Having a Baby' transcript

 

Michelle - It was a bit of a surprise, we weren't sort of expecting it to happen but it did. We were very excited once we knew, and then I guess that it was a pretty happy and straightforward pregnancy.

Natalina - I was a little bit prone to gestational diabetes, but everything was under control, having regular tests, but everything was under control everything was fine. I'd even travelled overseas while I was pregnant for work; I was working up until the last six weeks.

Margaret - It was my third pregnancy; I had two lovely little girls. I was ecstatic, and I was growing very, very quick so I was ultra sounded at three months and discovered it was twins and I was like ‘wow'.

Liz - I already had a twelve month old daughter when my husband and I decided we wanted to try for another baby. We wanted our children close together and we were very lucky and got pregnant very quickly. At our twenty week ultrasound we were very excited when we found out that we were having a boy, we decided that we did want to know the sex of the baby and he was lying there for all the world to see what was going on, which was lovely.

Annette - It took me 16 months to get pregnant the first time and I was at the point where I didn't think it was going to happen and I was going to a GP who said that if it didn't happen in the next month then I would have to go to a specialist and then it did magically.

Alan - She was a long awaited for baby, done through IVF, and we were just over the moon that we were pregnant. We were very excited that we were having a little girl.

Anne-Maree - My pregnancy with Ruby was a very happy one. Everything went fairly straight forward. We were really looking forward to having another child, she was our second child. We wanted an age gap of two to three years, and our other daughter was two and a half at the time, so it was just perfect.
