Hi guys, my story is long (sorry!).
Today, I speak all about the birth of my beautiful son Frankie and his identical twin brother Billy. Billy was stillborn and Frankie was an absolute miracle to have survived.
I have already shared with you My Birth Video (linked below) but in this video I talk about it from my perspective and include things that were left out in the last video.
I talk about everything from labour, delivery and post delivery to our time in the nursery with Frankie and saying our final goodbyes to Billy.
I tried to not get too emotional in this video to make it easier to watch. I know it can be so har to dive into these things when you are in the midst of it or even decades later.
I really hope this helps someone out there in the same or similar situation or even a supporter trying to better understand.
Much love xxx

On the 28th November 2019, I birthed our twin boys Frankie and Billy. Billy was stillborn and Frankie was a miracle to survive. I'm now currently getting used to my new reality with a newborn, my toddler Willow and trying to process losing our dear son Billy. My vlogs are about life as it is, raw and as real as it gets ❤️

I lost my son at 21 weeks and had the same robotic response. Dont feel bad. Dont regret how you reacted. It was your Mama heart protecting your soul from the hardest thing anyone ever has to go through. It took me a couple weeks for everything to fully sink in. You are a strong, beautiful mama and Willow, Frankie, and Billie are so lucky to have you. Keep your head up. Much love from California, USA

Don’t deny your grief. You suffered a terrible loss. Eventually, you’ll find it easier to laugh and be fully happy again. And you will not ever forget your Billy. It’s been 30 years since my daughter died while I was in labour. You will not forget. You will never get over it but you will accept it one day. ❤️❤️

I cant imagine Carol, giving birth is one of the happiest moments in life, I can never understand a beautiful innocent bubby not having a chance to feel mothers love. I'm so sorry for your loss x Tiny Angel by 360 is very poignant, and sang from a father's perspective - it always makes me so sad when I hear it, because it shows the pain mums and dads experience in that moment. 💙

I’m a grandma to a twin that lost his identical brother at 37 weeks. I had planned to be at the delivery, even though I lived about 6 hours away, and my step-daughter went quite fast with her first baby…a girl, who was 2 years old at the time. I had been a labor and delivery nurse, and used to work at the hospital where she was going to deliver. I made sure she had the best nurse when she delivered her girl. 😊 She called me as soon as she found out that Jackson’s heart stopped beating. Her water had broken, and she was having mild contractions, but they sent her home! She was on her way home when she called me, and I told her to turn around and go right back! She wanted to go home and get some things first. The drive to the hospital one way was at least 40 minutes. Her husband was (they are divorced now) also a fireman 🚒. I can’t believe the similarities to your situation. I don’t even know how I stopped to listen to your story, not even knowing how things were so much the same. Her husband was at work, but was on his way home. That was about a 3 hour drive, but I think he made it in 2. I never did make it. I had just started a new job, and I regret to this day that I didn’t just leave. She was 8 centimeters dilated by the time she got to the hospital. The live twin during the scan, just about an hour before, was the presenting twin. They changed positions, so when the twin that had died was born first, my poor girl thought she would be without a live baby at all. Everything was going so fast. The doctor barely made it in time for the delivery. The next thing she knew, her doctor was yelling to the nurses to call an anesthesiologist, and get an OR team ready for an emergency C-section. Her live baby was now in a transverse (sideways) position, with his hand sticking out of her cervix. I should tell you, the area was a small town in the foothills of California, and there were only 2 OB/GYNs at the time. There were only 2 anesthesiologists, and they were always on call. What her doctor did was amazing. He managed to push the baby’s arm back into the uterus, turn the baby, and deliver him. Mind you, there is no anesthesia, so it hurt like hell, but he saved the baby. If that cervix had closed up around the hand ( which is what happens in that situation), there would be no live baby. Sorry for such a long tale. I was just going to tell everyone part of the story, but once I started, I couldn’t stop. I’m not using their names, because we don’t get to see each other very often, and I’m not sure how she would feel I’d she saw her story on KZfaq without her consent. They boy is now 15 years old, and he’s a wonderful and compassionate young man.

jettsoma - Wow, thank you so much for sharing this! I’m so sorry your daughter went through all of that! I’m so glad she called you and you told her to go back to the hospital! I had no idea that if a hand gets through the cervix, it would normally close. I wonder why that is, and why would that kill the baby? Could a baby still be delivered by c-section, if the cervix has closed around its arm?

Pamela Hogan Yes, and emergency c-section can definitely save the baby, but if you live in a remote area, an emergency surgery can take over an hour to get the whole crew in if it’s after hours or a weekend. Then you just hope and pray that your doctor will go beyond his comfort zone to save his life.

I’m so sorry for the loss of your sweet boy. I had a very similar experience 8 years ago with my triplets. Our 2 girls were mo di and developed ttts at 22 weeks. At 23 weeks we lost our first daughter. I delivered them a week later due to preeclampsia. We lost our second daughter at 5 days old. Our son spent 5 months in the NICU and is about to turn 8 in a couple of weeks. This time of year is always hard and makes me miss my girls so much. I hope you find some peace over time. We have found ways to include our daughters in our daily lives and that helps us so much. Hugs to you ❤️

Thank you so much for talking about this. I am a labor and delivery nurse in America. When I went into this field I was shocked to find out how common miscarriage and stillbirth are. I feel like the lack of knowledge and how this is a subject that no one talks about , adds another layer to the situation. No one talks about the loss. Having to carry on, having to birth baby. I cried for you, your family and for Billy. Thank you so much for speaking about him and showing your journey. You are so so so strong. Grief isn't linear. I wish you all the best momma 💙

I am in a very similar situation right now. I am pregnant with twins, one boy and one girl. At my 24 week scan they were both perfectly healthy but then yesterday at my 26 week scan, they could only find one heart beat. For reasons unknown, My little boy didn’t make it. I now have to carry full term (or as long as my body will allow) and deliver both of my babies knowing that one of them will never take a breath or get to come home to sleep next to his sister or wake up and cry at 3am. It is the most painful and confusing thing I have ever experienced and there is no way of knowing what to expect. I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet Billy, and thank you for telling his story. You and your son are giving hope and strength for tomorrow to the other moms in the world going through this too.

That feeling you can’t explain like being a robot... that’s mothers instinct kicking in. You went auto momma mode. This is something that never seizes to amazing me. The amazing abilities us woman have naturally. Something just goes off and you automatically do what needs to be done for the survival of not only yourself but your children. ( and when I say yourself I mean FOR the child - who cannot live without you) ..:. It’s ok to feel the way you did because it’s what you had to do naturally. Be strong and hold it together... but still I’m incredibly amazed at the strength and love that was shown in just couple short clips. I know the grief and heartache must be so unbearable at times. I can’t imagine: but when I watched I didn’t feel like oh poor woman I felt like wow she’s amazing and so strong !!! I don’t know if I could have held it all together like that!!! It’ll be ok ! Give yourself time to feel the grief and loss when the time is right. You can do it.. you can be happy and you will go on! So proud of you and I don’t even know you ! But thanks so much for sharing your story. It was truely inspirational and I’m sure it’ll touch a lot of woman with similar situations also. If you can do it so can they! HUGS

I delivered a stillborn at 29 weeks, at home, alone, in the shower. I wrapped him in a small towel and took him to the NICU where I worked as a nurse. My best friend couldn’t believe he was min. I asked for an autopsy and donated him to research. That was Friday morning. I had not delivered the placenta, so on Monday, I drove myself to the same hospital for my D&C. My GP came into the pre-op area of the OR. He prayed with me and we chatted a bit. He was not involved in th procedure but knew I was there and came by. I joked with him, saying he lied to me. I reminded him that he told me once my baby was born, I’d stop puking. I puked 24 hours a day from 2 days after conception and even though I delivered my baby3 days earlier, I was still puking. My GP then took my gurney to a different area of the hospital for an ultrasound. We found a perfectly healthy twin boy in my womb!!! This second twin would have been killed in the OR during the D&actually procedure! It was a horrible rollercoaster of emotions! Throughout the next 6 weeks, I knew my baby could pass away at any moment. I knew there is a high chance there would be something abnormal. I knew that if he was even born alive, he’d likely not live long. At 35 weeks, I delivered my second baby, after a very long, difficult labour and delivery. Looking back, I low I was holding back. I did not get my head involved in the birth at all. I was extremely afraid, but 100% emotionless. Even 2 1/2 hours of pushing, I wasn’t really a part of it. No one prepared me for my delivery. No one encouraged me. It was a very miserable day outside and a horrible black day inside. After he was born, I was getting happier gradually, but still every minute, I was afraid. He did have a problem and needed surgery on da 2. On day 3, my husband said we were going home and that was that. So I obediently got dressed and we walked out. No discharge instructions or paperwork was done. It was Sunday, so my husband took us to church. The pews were wood, I had a second degree tear, and there I was, at church with horrible emotions. Sad, happy, confused, etc. People congratulated me on his birth, but NO ONE mentioned my lost son! I told no one about his operation. I loved hi deeply, but there was a massive void, that even my husband ignored. He’s 29 now, has a gorgeous, wonderful wife & 3 amazing children.

My heart aches for your loss, but with that pain came the beautiful joy of holding Franky . My mother gave birth to a stillborn boy, she found out he was gone in labor, in her time ways were different, they told her to just go home & forget she had a baby, she didn't have time to love it 😳 no death certificate to acknowledge her child she never got to hold , she caught a glimpse of him as they took him away, she said he was perfectly beautiful. She still grieves to this day for months, they just didnt know how to comfort or help a woman who had a stillbirth, I'm glad things have changed now . After all a woman loves her baby the minute they find out they're carrying.. Blessings to your beautiful family!!

Thank you for sharing your story. I lost a twin at 11 weeks and just delivered the healthy twin 2 weeks ago. This story made me cry so much. I never got to hold my other twin. He was so tiny when we lost him and my body absorbed him. When we delivered the healthy full term twin there was no sign of the other twin. :(

So sorry for the loss of Billy and thank you for sharing your story. The reason why you were so tired is probably the fact that all the stress and upset you felt for the last half your pregnancy had come to a head and that you knew you were nearly at the end of your journey 💙 RIP baby Billy. You will live on in your brother 💙💙

Thank you for sharing your story, I was 7 months pregnant with my son Rufus Jr, in March of 1997, he was stillborn, I went into labor and went to the hospital and they did an ultrasound, after they tried to find a heartbeat, then just to confirm they did a second ultrasound, then the male nurse I had was not very nice at all, he just came in and sat down next to me and my boyfriend and said, “I’m sorry to inform you but your baby is dead”. I just said to him could you be anymore colder, than he said I’ll be back in 20mins, but I got this other nurse that was very nice, her name was Linda Hunt. Such a wonderful lady, she ended up delivering Rufus Jr, before I had started delivery they had given me something to stop the labor, because it was to early to deliver the baby, at that time they didn’t know if he was gone yet or not, half way through delivery my contractions stopped so they had to wait for them to pick back up, he came out feet first, they gave me medicine to calm me and my nerves because of the situation, cuz I wanted to have a normal delivery, when he was delivered, they wrapped him in a blanket and let me hold him, then I let my mom hold him, after we held him for a bit then they took him and cleaned him up and they cremated him, it’s been 23 years and I still have trouble handling it too!

Never apologise for anything, the robotic stage is grief & shock. Especially as you had both high & low moments at the same time. So so much too take it. So much going on, you did so well. You really did, Sweetheart you are brave, strong, open & honest. Im not sure how your videos were in my suggestions it must be fate as I too experienced a angel baby. It was a few years ago, and only a couple of people knew. Sadly sometimes, its a taboo subject. But by ladies like yourself speaking out, it makes the facts & reality REAL....and hopefully gives other parents the strength & courage to talk openly and grieve properly. Bless your family, your children..and may your futures be bright. Sending love from the UK. Rest in paradise Angel Billy 😇

From one Mama of an Angel baby to another, I am sending you so much love. You are right, it is an emptiness you can't explain. You learn ways to cope but there is always someone missing. Allow yourself to grieve when you need to, be happy, be sad, whatever you are feeling. What we've gone through is terrible and there is no right or wrong way to deal. Love to you, your sweet Billy and my baby girl Chryssi.❤💙

My grandmother lost her youngest son suddenly. You could tell when she was thinking of him because she would get very robotic. It's how she dealt with the grief of suddenly loosing a child. Don't ever think you're grieving wrong so long as you are grieving. You need to let that grief escape so you can build good new memories with those around you.

I'm so sorry for your loss, I lost my son William at 23wks on May, 29th 2017, He was my first baby. He was born alive but died in my arms shortly after I gave birth. My body went into disassociation where I felt like my body was not my own if that makes sense. I also have alot of regrets, I wish I would of spent more time with him. I just wanted to let you know that you're not alone, You're so strong and I'm so happy that I found your channel. 💜

Omg, even though I didn’t lose my son, as you know he was born at 27weeks, he was due 1st March 1996, but pre eclampsia made me have him on the 6th December 1995, he spent most of his early days in the SCBU ( special care baby unit, as we call it in the UK ) and he spent a lot of time under the jaundice lamp aswell, so I can totally relate to that part and the tube feeding aswell, because I never had any milk, only a tiny drop from each booby, watching this video, bought back soooooo many memories for me, love you baby girl, from across the other side of the world xxxx
