Like everyone else, I've been avidly following Littlejen and Jess' story, praying for a good outcome. I was delighted to hear that Jess was still hanging in there. Now, I am so angry to read what has happened because I think that, if Jess had been delivered any time up until now, she'd have had a chance of survival. That's what I said in my earlier post - with conditions (such as pre-eclampsia) that lead to placental insufficiency, it is better to deliver the baby early if possibly viable, regardless of term/size. I cannot understand, therefore, why they kept you waiting so long to deliver Jess then, Jen.
I know that nothing will bring her back (though I am still hoping by some miracle that your next scan will show a heartbeat after all), but if I was you, I would be looking for some answers from the healthcare trust which was responsible for your care. I think that the treatment you received fell below the standard that could be expected and, although it is partly understandable due to the recent flooding in the region - the Trust knew of your pregnancy-related problems before the flooding and yet chose to delay delivering you some time ago.
I'm sorry to go on, I'm just so angry on your behalf. Perhaps it's no-one's fault, but I would just want to seek reassurance that everything that could have been done was done to save Jess and, if not, I would want the Trust to learn lessons from that for the future.
My thoughts are with you and your family - your little Jess has already touched so many people, Jen.
Remember to take a camera and lots of film to the hospital with you and capture every detail of your brave little girl.
