Ashleigh’s story

19 Sep Ashleigh’s story

The hardest thing is knowing that Aria was only 4 weeks away from being acknowledged of her mark on this world, being 20 weeks gestation.

We had no birth & death certificate and ‘abortion’ was put on my records, instead of TFMR. I always say she was stillborn because she was born, I laboured just like I did with her brother (her sister was elective c section).

5.5 years on and we still grieve for the life she should of had with her x
