Our beautiful daughter Jasmine Lily Hickford was born sleeping on the 14th March 2007 at 38+2 weeks.
We had no idea that such a perfect pregnancy could end so tragically for us. Jasmine was our first
baby and she gave us a very happy 9 months with us wondering what parenthood was going to be like
and what our little angel would be like.
On the morning of 13th March 2007 we went in for me to be induced. We had spent about an hour trying
to remember how to install the baby car seat so we were running late by about 15mins. We were so
happy that morning. I was very nervous about going through labour but so excited to finally meet our
baby and to see whether we had a son or daughter.
We were met on the ward by a midwife called Diane who immediately put me at ease and we were pleased
to see that we had a bed by the window.
Diane then checked my blood pressure which was fine and then put the heart monitor on my belly to
find our baby's heartbeat. We didn't hear a heartbeat and after about 10 minutes she left
our bed and returned with a lady with a scanning machine. The lady scanned my belly and we could see
our baby was not moving. I knew at this point our baby had died but my Husband refused to give up
hope. We were then rushed through to be scanned and the more advanced scanning machine and it was
there at 09.15am our baby was pronounced dead.
We were then taken into a room where we were given some time on our own. We were devastated. We were
both in shock and all we wanted to do was to go home. However we knew I had to go through the
horrific task of given birth to our stillborn baby.
I was given a tablet at about midday and told to come back in the next morning. We then went home.
We had to build up strength to contact our parents who were absolutely devastated - those were the
hardest phonecalls we have ever had to make and there response will haunt me forever.
We then went home and put all the baby's things into the nursery and shut the door.
I didn't sleep that night. The following morning we went into the hospital and we were taken
into the 'Jasmine Suite'. I knew as soon as we were taken into this suite that we having a
girl. We had always said since we had been together that if we were ever blessed with a daughter we
would name her Jasmine. All the way through the pregnancy we thought we were having a boy but I
just knew we were going to have our Jasmine when we were taken to that suite.
My first contraction was at 11.30am and Jasmine was born at 12.50pm. My labour from start to finish
took 1 hour and 20 minutes. This I am grateful for.
We then got to meet our daughter and my Husband got to cut the cord and tell me we had a little
girl. She just looked like she was sleeping. She was wrapped and dressed and we held her for hours
telling her how much she was loved.
We then left to go home at about 7.00pm to begin our nightmare of coping with this.
Jasmine you are a true angel. We loved you from the moment we found out you existed and we will
continue to love you forever more. You will always be a massive part of our lives and if we are
blessed with any more children they will always know they had an extra special big sister.
You will always be our first born child, sleep well little one.
lots and lots of love always

Beautiful Little Girl
I am so sorry that you lost your little girl Jasmine. She was so beautiful and your story is heart breaking. I lost my son 18 months ago, it's the hardest thing anyone can go through. She will be your baby girl forever, you will always be her Mammy and Daddy.
In a baby castle, just beyond your eye,
Your baby plays with angel toys that money cannot buy.
Who are you to wish her back into this world of strife,
No, play on your baby, she'll have eternal life.
At night when all is silent and sleep forsakes your eyes,
You'll hear her tiny footsteps come running to your side
Her little hands caress you so tenderly and sweet,
You'll breathe a prayer and close your eyes and embrace her in your sleep.
Now you have a treasure that you rate above all others
You have known true glory,
You are still her mother.
So Sorry
I am soory for your loss i also know how it is to loose a baby and i just want to say that even though we have lost all of these babies they will always be there with us in our hearts and helping us out when we need them most.....and i believe that every star in the night sky is a precious angel baby and the reason why they are so bright is because of how much we love, cherish and miss them....It all our precious love we are giving to them.......I am so sorry for your loss....
R.I.P. Baby Jasmine

We will always be here for you and we will forever remind our Charlie of his little friend Jasmine who was gone too soon.

Devastating for you
I am so sorry for your loss and wanted to say that Jasmine looks a beautiful little girl. Your story brought tears rolling down my cheeks as I cannot bear to see this happening to precious little babies and I support Tommys every month to try and do my bit, as I feel so lucky to have two precious healthy little girls of my own. I'm sure your dear Jasmine is happily playing in heaven with all the other little babies.
Life is so unfair.
Rest in Peace Jasmine
