Baby Ronan was born asleep at 21 weeks on 12th May 2007. We had suffered 2 miscarriages before Ronan and were delighted when we found out I was pregnant again in January 2007. We were so relieved when we got passed the '12-week scan' and started getting excited about becoming parents. Unfortunately when we had the 20-week scan our precious baby was diagnosed with renal agenesis (no kidneys) and we were given the heartbreaking news that our baby would die at birth due to lack of kidneys and underdeveloped lungs (no kidneys meant that I had no amniotic fluid which is required for the baby's lung development). We took the decision to terminate my pregnancy as we couldn't bear the thought of our little one suffocating at birth. On Saturday 12th May 2007, we went into hospital and I was induced. After 10 hours of labour, 3 morphine injections later, our beautiful baby Ronan was born asleep and peaceful. He was 400g and 25cm long. At birth he was diagnosed with Sirenomelia (mermaid syndrome) which is a rare (1 in 60,000 - 70,000 births in UK) fatal anomaly. Only two babies born with Sirenomelia survived due to them having a working kidney. The first was Tiffany Yorks in the USA and the other is Milagros Cerron in Peru.
We are devastated at the loss of our much wanted and much loved baby. Every day gets a little bit better, but he has left a lovely baby-boy shaped hole in our hearts.
Briefly known, forever loved.

A poem for our precious tiny angel
O precious, tiny, sweet little one,
you will always be to me,
so perfect, pure & innocent
just as you were meant to be.
We dreamed of you & of your life
& all that it would be.
we waited & longed for you to come
& join our family.
We never had the chance to play,
to laugh, to rock, to wiggle.
We long to hold you, touch you now
& listen to you giggle.
I'll always be your mother,
he'll always be your dad
you will always be our child
the child that we had.
But now you're gone...but yet you're here
we'll sense you everywhere,
you are our sorrow & our joy,
there's love in every tear
Just know our love goes deep & strong
we'll forget you never-
the child we had, but never had,
and yet we'll have forever.
Please believe
I am an Angel up above
I look down on my mummy and send her my love
I know she is hurting and often cry's
I see the saddness in her eye's.
I want to tell mummy from my place in the sky
That i have been given wing's and now i can fly
I sneak down to mummy and watch her at night
Deep in her dreams when she is holding me tight.
I am an Angel pure and free
I have lot's of friend's to play with me.
I am in a magical place where i can come to no harm
I am safe i am happy i am snuggly and warm.
I know she can't see me
But please believe i am near
I stand by her shoulder
I will alway's be here
