Monty

Monty is my second baby. He was stillborn in November 2012, when I was 34 weeks pregnant.

I wrote the post Goodbye Before Hello to explain what happened.

Monty died of congenital CMV infection from a virus that causes almost no symptoms in adults but can cause miscarriage or stillbirth and lead to neonatal death.

To read about my experience of stillbirth and bereavement, click on the 'stillbirth', 'bereavement'  and 'remembrance' labels in the right-hand column of the blog. I have also written for the HICTHY blog and raised funds for Bristol SANDS and Mums the Word to give back to those who have helped us.
