LHM Antenatal Stories

Discovering that your baby has a complex heart condition can leave expectant parents feeling very frightened and alone even if they are surrounded by caring friends and relatives.

Here we have collected together a number of stories from parents who each chose to travel a different path for their baby. They have each expressed their story with the loving care all parents have for their babies and we are very grateful to them for sharing their story to support other parents as they travel their own personal journey.

If the stories here raise questions, worries or concerns the LHM team are always here for support on 0121 455 8982 or info@lhm.org.uk.

Anna & Matthew

It is our hope for everyone placed in this extremely difficult position, whatever their decision, that they will receive as much care and support from medical professionals, LHM, family and friends as we did and that they will be blessed with at least a little time with their precious baby.

Michael & Louise

The sonographer told us to go for a walk and come back after an hour or so as she couldn’t get a good view on our baby’s heart which made me a little concerned and when we returned and there was someone else in the room to take a second look I wasn’t sure what to expect.

Rebecca

The sonographer said that my baby’s heart wasn’t showing any circulation on one side. I immediately asked if it was serious and she replied that if it was what she thought it was, then yes.

Amie & Robert

In March the scan confirmed that our little girl’s heart had developed into Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. We were told that some babies needed to be sent away to another centre for their surgery.
