A young mum has been making memory boxes to donate to Southmead Hospital following the death of her baby daughter in January 2021. Tiffany Sparrow, 21, from Portishead and her partner Patryk Danelski, 22, found out they were expecting their daughter Matylda when Tiffany was 18.
On her 19th birthday, she reached her 19th week of pregnancy, however just five days later her waters broke and the couple were told to expect a miscarriage within 48 hours. Tiffany said: "If she was born breathing, we were told she'd be put in our arms to pass away with no medical intervention as she wasn't 'at viability'.
"But incredibly our Tillie held on [in the womb] for another 10 weeks, making it past viability and into the third trimester. After 10 horrendous weeks of bed rest and hospital appointments, and a fair share of in-patient hospital stays, our Tillie passed away on January 18, 2021."
