Ellie Gerry - Mcdermott

sadly missed but never forgotten thank you too all our friends and family who have been a massive
support for both of us through this tragic time mummy and daddy miss you good night princess xxxxxx

I enjoyed my pregnancy with no big problems. The only thing that was wrong was Ellie was lying side
ways but she turned by herself when i was 38 weeks. We lost Ellie on wednesday 19th september 2007
when i was 9 days overdue. The day before that i had went into labour and was sent home from the
hospital with painkillers telling us that ellie wouldn't be born for a while that i was in
early labour. That was early on tuesday morning. I slept most of tuesday and had a bath which is
what the hospital had told me to do. Then when i woke on wednesday i couldn't feel Ellie moving
and went to the hospital. They put a heart monitor on me and done a scan but they couldn't find
her heartbeat and told us we had lost our baby. i was given an appointment at 2pm to go back to the
hospital the next day to be induced but i went into labour before the appointment. Ellie was born on
thursday 20th september 2007 at 3.21pm and weighed 6lbs 12oz. When Ellie was born the cord was
wrapped tight around her neck.
I believe Ellie should still be here with her mummy, daddy and the rest of her family.
I believe the hospital could have done more when i first went into labour on tuesday morning because
it told them in my maternity record that she was lying transverse (lying sideways).

We wanted Ellie more than anything. We will always love her and we wish she was still here with us.


she's our special angel and always will be.

We want to say thank you to everyone who visits Ellie's site, lights a candle or leaves a
message for our precious angel. xxx
