Did anyone else watch this programme?
It was on last night ITV at 8pm, it was a tonight report by Kym Marsh on Premature labour.
It was short and sad but informative.

Such a sad week

feeds@yuku.com (Neat) — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 09:24:13 GMT

I have found this week awful. So much bad news around. Not involving me or my family, thank God, but just so sad.

Firstly a close friend of a friend of mine died on Monday, aged 37 of cancer. She has left a little girl the same age as mine, which just breaks my heart.

Then Natasha Richardson dying so suddenly and leaving 2 young sons.

Then today, Mothers Day, Jade Goody, a 27 year old woman with 2 very young children. It's just tragic.

All these...

David Cameron

Very sad news about The Cameron's son. I am sure that which ever political views we hold we all can put those aside to send out heartfelt thoughts, prayers and sympathies to the family.

First person

When Thelma Williams' baby died at birth, his body was whisked away and he wasn't spoken of again. It took 40 years to confront her grief and finally give a name to her lost child - James

As told to Kate Hilpern
The Guardian, Saturday 10 January 2009

I know I'm not the first woman to have found something she would rather not have discovered in her husband's suit pocket. In my case, it was a notification of the burial of our son....

Read this and could relate - particularly the whole thinking you were 'good' at the pg/birth thing until you wanted to have that one more child and your body just doesn't co-operate.....

Well as I said in the post about Lily Allen, I emailed the BBC and received this reply...

Dear Beth,

Thank you for your email about our coverage of Lily Allen's tragic loss. I appreciate that this is a sensitive area, and it would never be our wish to compound the grief of people like yourself who have had similar experiences.

We included the health information at the side of our story because we were concerned that people would want more information about pregnancy...

I finally had me a healthy baby. He was born Nov 5. Am so happy to be somebodys mom and to have someone to love. I haven't been this happy since I lost my daughter but I least I have a little happiness and joy after all this time. I don't think i will ever truly be happy after losing one of kids but at least i will have some joy and laughter in my life. I named my son Evan Wayne. He is very beautiful.

Placenta fools bodys defences

feeds@yuku.com (welshbethy) — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 01:13:55 GMT

Found this on the BBC news website. They say new research shows the placenta acts as a parasite to stop the body rejecting the baby. They hope it may give some answers for reccurent mc. Thought it may be of some interest to some ppl here.

Grey's anatomy spoiler/warning

feeds@yuku.com (beccypetty) — Fri, 18 May 2007 20:02:17 GMT

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to warn those of you planning to watch season 3 of greys anatomy that there is an episode that is very upsetting - as it features the loss of a baby! The episode number is 7 and its called "where the boys are". It is incredibly sad so I didn't want anyone to unknowingly watch it!
