I found out I was pregnant two days before Christmas in 2003. I was so excited.

I had my scans and the midwives told me my baby was fine and growing well.

But then in March 2004 I couldn't feel my baby moving anymore. I've never had any children before so I wasn't too sure.

I went to the hospital and they told me my baby had died. I couldn't believe this was happening to me. I was only 20 years old and I only had five more weeks to go and my mum was so excited to be a granny. Everyone couldn't wait to spoil their first grandchild.

I had to give birth to a beautiful baby girl, Anna, 4 pounds, 1 ounce, I was in labor for 14 1/2 hours. I got to see her for a few days and then buried her. She was totally healthy. It was the cord. It had gotten too tight around her neck and that's why she died.

I had her a year ago on March 21, 2004, at 1:22 a.m.

Love you always, Anna, and miss you loads
