Losing babies a miscarriage of natural justice

“It was a living hell. That’s the only way I can describe it. I am not over it yet,” she said of her nightmare yesterday.

Nothing will ever replace the babies that she lost. “I remember the other babies and still grieve for them,” Fionnuala said at her home outside Kilcock in Co Meath. Ailbhe, now 18 months’ old, was born after Fionnuala received treatment for a blood-clotting disorder. Her 15-year-old son Declan was born without any problems or complications. When he was two years’ old, Fionnuala started trying to have another baby.
