Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page in memory of my baby daughter Sinead, I founded the non profit organisation  Little Heartbeats and while trying to stay pregnant I read about life saving procedure to plug the waters, sadly this was not a procedure that would have saved my baby :( 

• After founding Little Heartbeats I read this article, 
  
  Premature birth: Stem cell patch could save thousands of pregnancies by repairing foetal membrane | Daily Mail Online
  
  after raising thousands for other baby  research charities my heart was telling me it needed to be  into raising awareness of PPROM and finding an intervention for PPROM, which gave me hope for the future that I could keep my promise to my first born baby Sinead, who I lost though birthing. 
• I am also the voice of our families at these membrane research meetings and I owe to every single parent who goes through PPROM, Regardless of outcomes because a PPROM pregnancy is the unknown and this would mean mums could go through pregnancy knowing there was an intervention which would build up the fluids and keep enough fluid around the baby which would give babies like my Sinead a better chance of survival 
• Birthing a stillborn baby and not knowing that your baby is on the wrong side of viability and not knowing that medical staff can not intervene with any interventions which is quite frankly painful, I have never cried so much in my entire life and hearing the healthy babies while mine lay dead while the doctor yanked out my placenta and not feeling like I could not hold my child. Because I was too scared to hold her straight after birth in case she had cried, as i was told by the doctor rushing in and out they would not help her, I felt helpless! I felt powerless and I felt I let my baby girl down. I felt so empty, I constantly have flashbacks of that day, it will never leave me. I therefore owe it to  Sinead in her memory and for our all mums dealing with PPROM in the future for them to have this intervention 
• Dr Tina Chowdbury and Professor Anna David and their team of researchers are working VERY on a pioneering research to reseal the membranes. I have never met such passionate caring professionals, even through COVID, they are working extremely hard towards this goal.  We owe it to all the babies gone to soon, to all those babies who fought so hard to live. We it owe it to this research team to get them the funds to secure this intervention into helping mums whose waters break prior to 37 weeks especially those prior 24 weeks.
