It’s been almost 4 years since me and my partner lost our first child due to medical negligence. We have been through so much both physically, mentally and emotionally.

I honestly thought that it was going to get to the point where we would need to start looking into fertility therapy.

Last week after speaking with my best friend and got talked into taking a pregnancy test to see if there was a possibility I could be pregnant, it turned out to be the case.

First I was shocked, then happy and excited, then burst into tears. All the emotions from the first pregnancy trauma came back and has made me see things very clear to ensure this pregnancy does not fall between the cracks of the health system. I am going to make sure this baby is in capable hands and EVERYTHING is done to a T.

I refuse to put my FULL trust in “professional” medical staff after what both me and my partner has been through.
