I lost my first baby at three and a half months. It was the worst time of my life. It was heart-breaking. When I was taken into hospital they give me an injection and didn't tell me what it was for.

Ten minutes later I was having pains in my belly. The midwife came in and told me I was in labour. I was terrified. I'd never experienced anything like that before in my life. I didn't know what was happening.

Four hours later the nurse said it was over with. They said I still had the cremation form to fill in. I didn't even know what that was for. They said that if I just left the gaps blank my little baby would be put in a bag and left out for the bin men. I was distraught but I filled the form in. Losing a baby is one thing but being told that it would be on top of the tip in the morning is another.

The days passed in a blur and I couldn't wait to go home. Before I was allowed to go home I had to have an anti-D injection. I had the injection and got out of there as soon as I could. I hoped never to see that place again.

Well, I was wrong. Two weeks after I miscarried I fell pregnant again. In a way I was happy because I missed my baby, knowing that there was nothing growing inside me. But in another way I was gutted. After losing my first baby it was like I was given another chance in life. I could have gone back to school and done my GCSEs.

I can still do my GCSEs and other subjects, plus I've made fantastic new friends. I do get the odd days when I miss my old friends, but I can always get in touch with them. Everybody is being so supportive towards me and my boyfriend.

My father was disappointed when I told him I was pregnant the second time round, but when I told him why, I think he could understand. I'm nearly six months pregnant now, and I'm looking forward to my baby being born.

My first baby should have been born a day before my birthday. This time I'm determined to do everything right and take it easy.

My first pregnancy obviously wasn't meant to be, but I've had both scans and everything is looking good. I can now proudly say that I'm glad that I'm becoming a mum and I wouldn't dream of changing this baby for the world.
