Danielle Spalding's son Edward died when he was two days old after raising concerns about her baby's wellbeing
A mother who lost her newborn baby at just two days old wants to know why what was supposed to be one of the happiest days of her life 'turned into utter despair'. Danielle Spalding, 27, became concerned about the reduced movement of her son, Edward, and was sent home following tests when she went to the hospital twice.
Danielle, who has two other children, Elizabeth, seven, and Lirael, aged 11 months, said: “It’s still difficult to find the words to describe everything that happened. What should have been one of the happiest days of my life turned into utter despair. "Holding him in my arms as he lost his brave fight for life is something that will stay with me forever. I just wanted to love and care for my boy, but I felt powerless to save him.”
Danielle added: “The charity reached out after Edward died and we’ve become good friends. They got us out the house to give Elizabeth some fun and normality. They run support groups which I attend and which were extremely helpful in trying to try and process what had happened.
