A Nottinghamshire couple are raising awareness about cervical issues and the work of Simpsons Memory Box Appeal after losing three babies in three years
A Nottinghamshire couple are raising awareness about cervical issues and the work of Simpsons Memory Box Appeal after losing three babies in three years. Customer Insight managers, John Webb, 38 and Kate Lowery, 35, of Giltbrook, lost two babies who were born prematurely and one who was stillborn.
Kate had preventive stitches again but their son Luca was born at 18 weeks. He was alive for around 45 minutes before he sadly died. Despite the heartache, the couple kept going and Kate became pregnant again. Their son Gabriel was expected on July 1 and they said they had a "very rigorous plan" set up, including another preventive stitch.
The couple want to try and help others by raising awareness of cervical issues, the taboo topic of baby death, but also let people know about Simpsons Memory Box Appeal. John added: "You can take hand and feet prints in like a clay imprint and charcoal on paper, and it has a couple of teddies in there so you can leave one with the baby and take one home. I've got a seven year old girl and it was good for her and will be for other children as they can have the teddy themselves and she likes having that teddy and knowing that's what it was and what it means.
