My daughter had a perfectly healthy happy pregnancy all the way through.

Cole was born 10 days late and was blue when born, never took a breath of his own and suffered severe problems including his vital organs failing one by one in the 15 hrs 45 mins that he lived. The decision for my daughter and her husband to turn off his life support machine was heartbreaking. He lived for 1 hour and 20 mins dosed up on morphine to make him comfortable whilst we all stood by and watched his precious life slip away from us.

The fact that he was on the outside a healthy 8lb 13oz baby boy with black hair brown eyes and not a single sign of any problems (he was perfect in everyway) made this all the harder for us all to take in.

All it would have taken was a urine test to reveal the problem which could have been treated early and my daughter and husband would now be cuddling a healthy baby boy not having to arrange his funeral !!! And certainly not blaming herself for this !!!

Angry is not the word that we are all feeling after finding out that it was Strep B that more than likely caused this and to confirm Cole now has to have a post mortem done !!!
