Sadly I fall into the category of losing a child who was still born, and would have been 40 this year, and the pain still hurts as I was at the birth and seen a perfectly formed little girl being born.
Neither my wife nor I got the chance to hold her and although the medical profession at the time tried to find an answer they could not come up with one.
I am lucky to have two fine sons who both at birth had minor complications,not medical,after which I had the dreaded snip so that nothing serious could happen if my wife became pregnant again.
I have two lovely grandchildren girl and boy and a new lease on life at 66.:)
